Description
The management of strategic change is one of the central concerns in modern business theory and practice. Out of the economic and technological upheavals of the past decade has emerged a new dynamism in key areas of business activity, and a whole new body of ideas has developed on strategic change: how to redirect business away from out-moded practices to cope with the new challenges of technology, global markets and international competition. This book represents one of the first major attempts to summarize and synthesize these major developments and aims to provide a coherent coverage of the range of issues associated with the management of strategic change. Chapters by academics, but written to be accessible to the corporate executive, include: Yves Doz on strategic redirection; Michael Tushman on technological discontinuities and organizational evolution; Kathy Harrigan on joint ventures; and a summary by Chris Argyris.
