Strategic management of companies and organisational entities is not merely about the long-term – it is also about having a holistic and end-to-end perspective. The practice of strategic management goes beyond conceptual and analytical development of strategies and execution thereof. It has deep behavioural and philosophical undertones as well.
This book, Strategic Management: Practice and Philosophy for India Inc, brings together multiple concepts of competitive strategy and strategic leadership of companies and organisational entities into one volume. It reflects the author’s rich and diversified experience covering the last forty-six years of operational and strategic leadership roles in Indian and multi-national companies across multiple industries.
The book will be useful for executives, managers and leaders as well as management students. The book will provide several additional insights and constructs for academicians engaged in management teaching and research.
