Strategy Safari

Author: Bruce Ahlstrand Henry Mintzberg Joseph Lamprel


Description

A Guided Tour Through the Wilds of Strategic Management. In this colourful primer, Henry Mintzberg, Bruce Ahlstrand and Joseph Lampel draw together diverse strands of strategic thought into ten distinct schools. In a final chapter they seek to blend the schools together; pointing out however that a truly unified theory may not be possible or desirable.


Review

It’s the only place where I’ve been able to go that describes the range of strategic approaches people might take.

As we know, so much of ‘strategy’ speak is all power talk and no trousers. Having digested the contents of this book one is then able to more accurately detect what flavour of strategic ‘bull’ someone is spouting!
