Reviews

[Ken · Rating 3 out of 5]

Rudimentary and common sense business advice for the novice business manager. However, I did find the author’s “tools for executing strategy” helpful & practical.

[Paul Bard · Rating 3 out of 5]

Another great read. Very basic university undergraduate information on strategy. The bibliography is gold as usual.

[Jaime Aceves · Rating 5 out of 5]

A very, very small guide to Strategy and how to make action plans to achieve it... But you don't need more, it goes to the point.

[Oli Ogbonna · Rating 4 out of 5]

If you are looking for a brief discussion on implementing strategy, then this is a book to read.
