Exploring Techniques of
Analysis and Evaluation in Strategic Management is the first book to be published in the
Johnson/Scholes Exploring Corporate Strategy series. The series aims to expand the
coverage of issues from Exploring Corporate Strategy by providing further depth and/or
focusing on specific issues or sectors. Like the main book this will be done in a
practical and applied way while drawing on best practice from researchers, writers and
practitioners.
This book has been devleoped
with the assistance of the Strategic Planning Society. It contains 17 chapters, of which 6
are written by the Strategic Planning Society's Workshop Leaders. These chapters are
practical rather than conceptual, and each one deals with an individual tool or technique
that is useful for effective strategic management. The tools and techniques fall into four
main categories which help the reader to:
Analyse organisational
resources and capabilities
Analyse the business
environment
Analyse organisational
culture and stakeholders
Evaluate and choose strategic
options
Exploring Techniques of
Analysis and Evaluation in Strategic Management is fully cross-referenced to Exploring
Corporate Strategy, which makes it an ideal complement to this book. It can be used by
students and practising managers who would like to gain a further insight into the tools
and techniques of strategy.
