Making Strategy Work cover

Making Strategy Work

by Lawrence G. Hrebiniak

"In this book, Larry Hrebiniak offers a comprehensive, disciplined process model for making strategy work in the real world. Hrebiniak shows why execution is even more important than many senior executives realize, and sheds powerful new light on why businesses fail to deliver on even their most promising strategies. He offers a systematic roadmap for execution that encompasses every key success factor: organizational structure, coordination, information sharing, incentives, controls, change, management, culture, and the role of power and influence in the execution process." "Making Strategy Work concludes with a start-to-finish case study showing how to use Hrebiniak's ideas to address one of today's most difficult business execution challenges: ensuring the success of a merger on acquisition. The advice on making M & A strategies work justifies the addition of this book to any execution tookit."--Jacket.
