Transformative Strategies is based around the idea that strategic
thinking is critical for organizational success in today's
environment. The financial crisis, continuing economic uncertainty,
digitalization, environmental issues, and social issues involved in
globalization present strategic problems for enterprises. Unlike
other textbooks that take a standard solutions-based approach,
Transformative Strategies provides readers with a way to develop
strategies that fit their own complex situations and shows how
models may be applied in different ways to different problems. Each
of the four key elements affecting the business environment
(globalization, disruption, collaboration, and responsibility) are
addressed as a set of tensions in eight areas: global competition,
business model innovation, digital strategizing, business
eco-systems, corporate social responsibility, top management teams,
and trans-cultural leadership in a globalized world. This
tension-based pedagogy enables readers to shift from dichotomized
thinking (such as exploring or exploiting) to transformative
thinking (such as exploring and exploiting; exploring through
exploiting) and readers are challenged to solve real problems that
companies face, encouraging them to acknowledge the broader context
in which organizations operate and to analyze the problem from
multiple perspectives. Each chapter is structured to aid engagement
and discussion, including a discussion of the tension tied to the
chapter's topic, learning objectives, theoretical frameworks, real
life case studies, exercises and reflective questions. A highly
practical book that encourages readers to develop solutions that
fit their own complex problems, it will be particularly suitable
for those studying strategic management as part of an MBA, MA or
MSc in Management, as well as those in executive education. It will
also appeal to all those interested in learning how to lead and
transform organizations towards impact, purpose and relevance.
Online resources include discussions of the case studies,
supplementary problems for class discussion, and an instructors'
manual outlining the pedagogical approach.
