Creating a successful strategy, and the process of strategic thinking, is key to the growth plans of all businesses. But how do business leaders engage with, define and manage this process? And what do today's most successful CEOs consider to be the key components of creating a successful strategy? Using unique and original interviews with 6 top business leaders, Tony Grundy examines the key components of successful strategizing, from analysis versus synthesis, competitive strategy, economic values, and overcoming strategic constraints. Using examples from the manufacturing, retailing, services and trading industries, the book provides a strategy system for every business leader, and helps managers to develop and implement a winning strategy for their organization.

Strategic Project Management is about managing business strategy in the most effective way so that it delivers organizational breakthroughs. This refreshing book sees the authors bring techniques from the world of business strategy and apply them to the traditional area of project management. The authors explain the process of managing complex projects by combining business analysis and project management techniques in order for an organization to implement their business strategy and get the results they desire. Grundy and Brown argue that detailed strategic thinking is best approached through strategic project management, not just through business strategy. They show how to accomplish the initial planning efficiently and how to implement the strategy effectively, making this an ideal book for middle and senior managers working on projects at the strategic level, and also students studying project management.

Bruce Greenwald, one of the nation's leading business professors, presents a new and simplified approach to strategy that cuts through much of the fog that has surrounded the subject. Based on his hugely popular course at Columbia Business School, Greenwald and his coauthor, Judd Kahn, offer an easy-to-follow method for understanding the competitive structure of your industry and developing an appropriate strategy for your specific position. Over the last two decades, the conventional approach to strategy has become frustratingly complex. It's easy to get lost in a sophisticated model of your competitors, suppliers, buyers, substitutes, and other players, while losing sight of the big question: Are there barriers to entry that allow you to do things that other firms cannot?
