Customer Reviews

Harvard or Oxford - a brilliant business manual for any student or manager
A clean, simple text about business, management and strategy. Harvard business school is one of the world's leading business and leadership academy. This book explains strategy in detail, from concept to execution and review. There is no better book about formulating business strategy.

Great Book
They say simplicity is always the best and this book is straightforward, precise and to the point. I found it very helpful with direction and clarity. It reinforced what I thought I knew and provided inspiration for exploring new directions.

Essential guide to implementing business strategy
Too many businesses fail to make the connection between strategy and implementation. Having great ideas is terrific, but they won't do you much good if you can't execute them. Years ago, Sam Walton may have suspected that high volume and low prices would lead to extraordinary retail success, but he understood that he would need a dependable system to deliver the goods. This practical manual supplements clear explanations with sidebars that call attention to common stumbling blocks and offer useful tips, lists, charts, sample plans and forms, and with chapter summaries. The book also includes an appendix that provides worksheets, the address of a companion Web site, a glossary and useful suggestions for further reading. We believe that any executive or manager will be able to relate to the book's underlying message: If you're going to do something, do it right.
