In a South African business environment characterised by change, turbulence and competitiveness, strategy is even more crucial today than ever before. Many people's lives and jobs are affected by strategic decisions, and far too often top management develops a strategy that is never communicated to or fully understood by other levels of management and employees, or is not even relevant to the future survival of the company. Strategic management explains the principles and application of the strategic management process, vital to the continued success of every organisation. This is the third edition of Strategic management, the first specifically southern African handbook on this subject. It emphasises the important role of corporate governance, with specific reference to the King III Report. Appropriate South African examples and case studies are used to illustrate the latest trends, particularly the history, development and strategy of South African Breweries (SAB Limited). Theory is applied to this cohesion case after every chapter of the book. Key terms, summary questions and answers, relevant websites and recommended reading lists are also provided. Strategic management will be invaluable not only to students of business management but also to organisations, from corporate companies with management training programmes to small business ventures struggling to hold their ground in a competitive environment.

R715 R661 Discovery Miles 6 610 Save R54 (8%) Ships in 7 - 10 working days

Today it is clear to managers and entrepreneurs that the business environment can change at any given time. Strategic management is an important and ongoing process of formulating and implementing strategies that help an organisation to position itself optimally and so maintain a competitive advantage that results in profit. It creates harmony between any organisation, big or small, and its environment. All stakeholders are affected by strategic decisions. In the South African context, strategic management is crucial for all profit-seeking as well as non-profit-seeking organisations as a result of an ever-changing, turbulent and competitive environment. It is therefore important for students and practitioners of management at every level and in every organisation to understand the vital role of strategic management in the life of an organisation. The strategic management process: a South African perspective is a new South African handbook with a fresh and exciting perspective. Its four parts follow an understandable and practical approach, making use of numerous figures and "strategy in action" cases to support the theory. The strategic management process: a South African perspective should prove invaluable both to students in strategic management and to organisations, from corporate and public companies with management training programmes, to small business ventures that are trying to gain a competitive advantage in a cut-throat environment.

The authors investigate the evolution of thought on community development from a methodology and technique to a set of (often normative) principles. Based on an extensive literature study the book argues that the more recently evolved fashionable concepts such as participatory development, people-centred development and empowerment can all be traced to a 'community development' origin. They conclude that community development was not evil but that, in the hands of powerful people, it became a tool of marginalisation and disempowerment. Key issues on community development are introduced and explained by way of annotated case studies.
