Description
Few large firms today fail to include planning as one of their key management systems. Yet the design, integration and successful implementation of strategic planning is a complex procedure. The articles in this volume, by focusing on the organizational process which a company uses to help managers develop effective strategy, offers guidance and warns of pitfalls to avoid. Three key areas are examined: 1. The design and structure of a planning process; 2. The development of a suitable framework for the integration of strategic planning within the company; and 3. The active implementation and execution of strategic plans. This is the third volume in the Best of Long Range Planning Series which brings together the best articles on a particular topic from the Long Range Planning journal so that readers wishing to study a specific aspect of planning can find an authoritative and comprehensive view of the subject, conveniently published in one volume.
