Summary Regrettably, 80% of small to medium-sized businesses fail within 2 years of their inception. Ninety percent of businesses close after 10 years of operation. Although there may be many reasons, the lack of a strategic, actionable, and measurable marketing plan is often the underlying cause. Marketing a business in today's extremely competitive marketplace is difficult at best. Money is tight. Customers are more demanding. Moreover, the vast array of strategic and promotional alternatives available to business owners and marketers can be perplexing, confusing, and frustrating.

Strategy as leadership : facing adaptive challenges in organizations / Roberto S. Vassolo & Natalia Weisz ; foreword by Ron Heifetz & Marty Linsky.

2024-05-13T21:07:32Z

by Vassolo, Roberto, author.
Call Number 658.4012 23
Publication Date 2022
Summary Strategy as Leadership is about making sense of predictable but drastic changes that can alter the relationship between businesses and their competition, posing substantial leadership challenges to senior management teams. Roberto S. Vassolo and Natalia Weisz provide a framework to address and respond to these critical changes by identifying them, describing the inner tensions these changes generate, and providing guidance for their successful navigation. This outside-in approach specifies the salient leadership challenges that executives will face while mobilizing their organizations to respond effectively to competitive and environmental change. This book claims that strategy is leadership as, in this framework, these environmental changes demand shifts in strategic priorities that result in a consistent pattern of resistance. If we know that changes are occurring in the competitive environment, we can soon identify who will be most resistant to the shift in priorities necessary to address the new situation. This book is for senior management teams to enable their organizations' capabilities to adapt and address environmental changes successfully.

The application of advanced modeling and pattern detection techniques is used in both the design of the theory and in the process it initiates; its application can result in strategies and solutions that deliver up to ten times more value than those created using traditional methods. Ulwick introduces a process called the Customer-Driven Mission Achievement Process (CD-MAP), now successfully used by many large companies to formulate and assess strategies at every organizational level. This book will help practitioners in any company improve their operations and their competitive position."--BOOK JACKET. Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

Publication Date 2010
Summary The field of strategic management emerged and developed in North America before migrating to other parts of the world. Until recently, the relationship between North American strategy research and research elsewhere was asymmetric: North America led, other research communities followed. More recently, however, the interaction between North American strategy researchers and those working in other regions has evolved into a conversation. Oftentimes the conversation is collaborative and productive, but occasionally it is adversarial and provocative. While the globalization of strategy research has added considerably to our understanding, it has also brought about greater theoretical and methodological pluralism as formal, rhetorical, discursive, and practice perspectives (among others) emerge and gain traction within the field. For some, pluralism is a phase in the larger cycle of variation and consolidation that characterizes the evolution of strategy research. For others, it is a reflection of fundamentally different socioeconomic conditions and intellectual traditions around the world that is not only likely to persist, but also to give rise to distinctive and potentially irreconcilable schools of thought. Volume 27 of Advances in Strategic Management brings together various emerging perspectives in strategy research for further interaction and debate. By creating a forum for discussing issues at the interface of emerging perspectives and longstanding traditions, we aim to assemble a compendium that contributes to cross-fertilization among them, as well as a catalyst for future research countering the separatist logic that threatens to partition the field.

Summary "In a book that challenges everything you have learned about being customer driven, innovation leader Anthony Ulwick reveals the secret weapon behind some of the most successful companies of recent years. Known as "outcome-driven" innovation, this revolutionary approach to new product and service creation transforms innovation from a nebulous art into a rigorous science from which randomness and uncertainty are eliminated." "With information based on more than 200 studies spanning more than seventy companies and twenty-five industries, Ulwick contends that when it comes to innovation, the traditional methods companies use to communicate with customers are the root cause of chronic waste and missed opportunity. In What Customers Want, Ulwick demonstrates that all popular qualitative research methods yield well-intentioned but unsuitable and woefully misleading information that serves to derail the innovation process."--BOOK JACKET.

Summary Starbucks is the essential success story of the American capitalist dream. From humble beginnings in 1971 as a Seattle coffee store, it's become a multinational with over 21,000 outlets in 63 countries. Its brand is universally known. How did they do it? Starbucks' success owes a lot to the vision of its guiding light, CEO Howard Schultz, who preaches an almost evangelical brand of caring capitalism, at the same time focusing relentlessly on the customer experience. Acquisition, brand-stretching, social media, and new channel development have all played a part. They put a lot of stress on caring for their staff and the in-store atmosphere. They want customers to feel it's their Starbucks. Good Citizen? CEO Howard Schultz talks about creating a philosophically different business but is it really? Critics point to low pay and scheduling pressures for staff, tax avoidance and, above all, the pittance developing world farmers receive for the coffee beans.

Successful talent strategies : achieving superior business results through market-focused staffing / David Sears.

2024-05-13T21:07:32Z

by Sears, David, 1947-
Call Number 658.311 21
Publication Date 2003
Summary In good times and bad times, in tight labor markets or soft ones, businesses need highly skilled talent. And, in order to grow, they need to find and deploy that talent in focused ways. The old bottom-up, reactionary, "fast-fill-best-candidate" approach does not contribute to long-term business success. The far better method is to align workforce planning initiatives to corporate objectives- in a word, to strategize. This highly practical book offers a blueprint for linking business strategies to talent strategies. It starts with the premise that for staffing strategies to be effective, they must be responsive to changes both within and outside the organization. Successful Talent Strategies then buts through the clutter of often-contradictory talent management practices by offering two new concepts: Talent Flow: employing people at the right time, in the right numbers, with the right mix of skills and capabilities, under the right terms of employment; and Talent Engagement: aligning individual competencies with strategic objectives, maximizing the mutual value of the exchange between employer and employee. Author David Sears shows you how to design talent strategies with the same forethought, care and commitment that go into all business strategies. You'll learn to: Analyze the elements of a workable business strategy Conceive you talent strategies using value propositions, objectives, and strategy mapping Source, recruit, hire, and retain talent strategically, in part through crucial pre- and post-employment relationship activities Move from administrative "silos" (i.e., separate focuses on rewards, performance, and training) toward broader and more transformational strategies Measure and improve your talent strategy results with an eye toward cost savings and customer-perceived value Successful Talent Strategies also gives you practical, real-world examples of how successful companies such as The Container Store, General Electric, Lands' End, and Prudential Financial are putting these strategies into action. Not least, Successful Talent Strategies can help make a forceful difference in your organization's future by providing a common framework for business executives and human resources professionals, who often work at cross-purposes on staffing issues.

Based on extensive research and featuring case studies, tools, and practical techniques, this practical handbook explains how all strategic decisions must be considered from four closely integrated perspectives: that of the business model, the company's portfolio of holdings, its financial structure, and the efficiency and efficacy of its management and operations. The book presents a step-by-step methodology for implementing a Value Structure System, enabling readers to identify, create, and capture the maximum value of their company by synchronizing the different essential components. Readers will learn how to: use a single value measure throughout all decision making ; immediately execute their own Value Structure Optimization (VSO) program ; perform diagnostic exercises quantifying risk, and prepare immediate action plans.

Given that salary and wages constitute about 65 to 80% of the total operating budget in a typical health care organization and also the fact that people play a critical role in delivering high quality patient care, it is imperative for health care organizations to manage their human resources more effectively. Unfortunately, the HR function remains one of the most neglected in health care organizations and 'warm body syndrome' seems to characterize the role of HRM in health care organizations. The purpose of the special issue of AHCM on Human Resource Management is to explore the strategic role that HR function can play in delivering high quality and affordable health care.
