STRATEGIC MANAGEMENT
TEXTBOOK
Making Strategy Work
TEXTBOOK
NEW
Andrew MacLennan Lively and direct, this work combines the rigour of academic research with the accessibility of practitioner-oriented texts. Focusing specifically on implementation rather than strategy development and planning, a wealth of pedagogical features, including textboxes, practical models and plans as well as extensive examples guide both MBA/DBA students and practising managers through this challenging yet essential subject. Departing from the more traditional themes of mainstream strategy books, MacLennan brings the often neglected area of strategy implementation sharply into focus. Ranging from strategic focus to the detailed management of activities to implementation for competitive advantage, this book centres on a small number of process-based models that help managers to:
Global Supply Chain Management and International Logistics
NEW
Alan Branch The development of international trade is driven by international logistics and management and the provision of the global supply chain. The ultimate objective of global supply chain management is to link the market place, the distribution network, the manufacturing/processing/assembly process, and procurement activity in such a way that customers are serviced at a higher level yet lower cost. Overall this has introduced a new breed of management in a computer literate environment operating in a global infrastructure. Addressing this complex topic, Alan Branch’s new book fulfils two clear objectives:
• systematically break down high level conceptual planning to the concrete activities necessary for physical implementation
• it provides a standard work on the subject written in lucid language which embraces all the ingredients of a notoriously complex subject with a strategic focus
• test their plans and generate the detail required to manage more effectively in complex organizations.
• it extols best practice and focuses on all areas of the industrial and consumer sectors and their interface with changing international market needs, looking at price sensitivity, product choice, speed of delivery, international standards, after sales flexibility, and reduced lead time.
Insightful and practical, with models supplemented throughout by summaries of key content issues and clear signposting to wider reading, this comprehensive and functional text provides a new approach to strategy implementation in a clear and easy to use format. Selected Contents: 1. Introduction 2. Strategic Focus 3. Strategy Implementation for Competitive Advantage 4. Strategy Implementation Challenges 5. Making Strategy Work 6.

Creative Strategic Organizing
Competing in Emerging Markets
William E. Smith, George Washington University, USA
Cases and Readings
Over the last two decades a major focus of organization theory has been on understanding the dynamic relationships between individuals, organizations and their environments. This interest in dynamics, illustrated by systems, chaos, and complexity theory, is recorded in the works of Ackoff, Senge, and Stacey. This focus offers a new viewpoint on holism for practising leaders and theorists today.
Edited by Hemant Merchant, Kaye College of Business, Florida Atlantic University, USA This groundbreaking book provides an essential set of readings and case studies that will facilitate a muchneeded fundamental rethinking about drivers of successful as well as unsuccessful firm conduct in Ems markets, and about the role of sophisticated but (usually) poorlyserving Western theories and ideas regarding competition and competitive traps and successes.

STRATEGIC MANAGEMENT

Financialization and Strategy
Foresight
NEW
The Art and Science of Anticipating the Future Denis Loveridge, University of Manchester, UK
Narrative and Numbers
Since the early 1990s interest in foresight has undergone one of its periodic resurgences and has led to a rapid growth in formal foresight studies backed by governments and transnational institutions, including many from the United Nations. However, texts that counterbalance in-depth practical experience with an exposition and integration of the many theoretical strands that underpin the art and theory of foresight are rare.
Julie Froud, University of Manchester, UK, Sukhdev Johal, Royal Holloway, University of London, UK, Adam Leaver, University of Manchester, UK and Karel Williams, University of Manchester, UK Considering the recent impact of the capital market on corporate strategy, this text analyzes, through argument and supportive case studies, how pressures from the capital bull market of the 1990s and bear market of the early 2000s, have reshaped management action and calculation in large, publicly quoted US and UK corporations. Beginning with the dissatisfaction with classical strategy and its limited engagement with the processes of financialization, the book moves on to cover three detailed company case studies (General Electric, Ford and GlaxoSmithKline) which use long run financial data and analysis of company and industry narratives to illustrate and explore key themes. It emphasizes the importance of company and industry narrative, while also analyzing long term financial results, and helps to explain the limits of management action and the burden of expectations placed on corporate governance. Presenting financial and market information on trajectory in an accessible way, this book provides a distinctive, critical social science account of management in large UK and US corporations, and it is a valuable resource for students, scholars and researchers of business, management, political economy and non-mainstream economics. 2006: 234x156: 416pp Hb: 978-0-415-33417-4: £85.00 Pb: 978-0-415-33418-1: £33.99 eBook: 978-0-203-41494-1
Foresight: The Art and Science of Anticipating the Future provides entrepreneurs, business leaders, investors, inventors, scientists, politicians, and many others with a succinct, integrated guide to understanding foresight studies and using them as means for strategy development. This text dispels the belief that anticipations are ’mere guesswork’, and conveys the depth of thought needed, implicitly or explicitly, to understand human foresight. It examines: • the role of foresight and its institutional counterpart in the modern world • the epistemology underlying foresight • the need to extend foresight activity into wider spheres, including sustainable development • the role that foresight plays in planning processes (including scenario planning). Much of the material in the book is based upon the internationally known foresight course at the Manchester Business School’s Institute of Innovation Research (MIoIR) formerly PREST, which the author developed and directed from 1999 to 2003. Selected Contents: Part 1: Systems and Foresight. Introduction 1. Foresight and Systems Thinking: An Appreciation 2. Foresight and Systems: Epistemology and Theory 3. Institutional Foresight: Practice and Practicalities 4. Foresight in Industry 5. Generalisable Outcomes Part 2: Scenarios and Sustainability 6. Foresight, Scenarios and Scenario Planning 7.

STRATEGIC MANAGEMENT
Mergers and Acquisitions
Procurement Systems
A Critical Reader
A Cross-Industry Project Management Perspective
Edited by Annette Risberg, Copenhagen Business School, Denmark
Derek Walker, Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology, Australia and Steve Rowlinson, Hong Kong University
Mergers and acquisitions remain one of the most common forms of growth, yet they present considerable challenges for the companies and management involved. The effects on stakeholders, including shareholders, managers and employees, must be considered as well as the wider implications for the economy, the level of competition and employment. By drawing on classic research perspectives and placing them alongside more recent alternatives, this book provides readers with a focused yet far-reaching introduction to the study of M&As. Each paper is set in context by editorial commentaries and reflects the important organizational and behavioural aspects which have often been ignored in the past. By providing this in-depth understanding of the mergers and acquisitions process, the reader understands, not only how and why mergers and acquisitions occur, but also the broader implications for organizations. This book is structured clearly into sections concerned with the issues that arise before, during and after the mergers and acquisitions process including motives and planning, partner selection, integration, employee experiences and communication. A unique collection of selected readings and contextualizing commentary, this volume will greatly appeal to MBA and graduate students as well as experienced practitioners. 2006: 246x174: 256pp Hb: 978-0-415-36460-7: £85.00 Pb: 978-0-415-36461-4: £33.99 • AVAILABLE AS AN INSPECTION COPY
Innovative and novel, this book extends its coverage of the topic well beyond the conventional themes of project solicitation and proposal evaluation.

RESEARCH METHODS AND GENERAL BUSINESS MANAGEMENT TEXTBOOK
Research Concepts for Management Studies Alan Berkeley Thomas, formerly of Manchester Business School, UK By its very nature, management is a multidisciplinary enterprise. Despite this, management research has tended to be organized around a number of discrete management disciplines with their own methodological outlooks. As a result, researchers in different fields often find it difficult to appreciate work outside their own area of specialization, so inhibiting much-needed collaboration across disciplinary boundaries. Management has emerged as a major area of research that has attracted students in growing numbers. However, there are still relatively few texts that are tailored specifically to the needs and interests of management researchers. Together with its companion volume, Research Skills for Management Studies (Routledge, 2003), this book offers management students a challenging but accessible introduction to research methods and concepts, irrespective of their field of specialization. Selected Contents: 1. What Does it all Mean? 2. Science in Management Studies 3. Theory in Management Studies 4. Data in Management Studies 5. Validity in Management Studies 6. Significance in Management Studies

A complex and compelling area of study, this volume draws from a variety of subject areas to explore how creativity can be better understood, and used, in a range of contexts. The book not only centres creativity in wider organizational theory, but also defines the conditions in which creativity can flourish, and assesses how the contemporary business environment impacts on creative solutions. This volume is an essential purchase for anyone with an interest in creativity from a business, psychological or design perspective. The editors and contributors, each specialists in their field, provide readers with an insightful and cuttingedge resource.
