Practising Strategy - A Southern African Context (Paperback, 3rd Edition): Peet Venter, Tersia Botha Practising Strategy - A Southern African Context (Paperback, 3rd Edition)

There are a number of strategy books, international and local, available in the South African market. Why another one? What makes this book different?

The third edition of the book features a number of new chapters, focusing on strategy implementation and change management, resource allocation and responsible leadership. It also includes a more detailed coverage of managing strategic risk.

Features:

  • It focuses on strategy implementation and not just on the thinking and analytical aspects of strategic management.
  • It explores the idea that strategy is often emergent, messy and experimental, unlike other strategic management books, which unrealistically portray it as a neat, analytical and rational process.
  • It unpacks the recent concept that other strategists, not just senior management, influence strategic direction.
  • It recognises strategy as something people do rather than something an organisation possesses. Since people are building blocks of strategy, it is a cognitive and political activity.
  • It integrates the three domains of responsible management – sustainability, responsibility towards all stakeholders and ethics – into the strategic management process that serves to create responsible competitiveness.

    The third edition of the book promotes a paradigm change with regard to the overall goal of strategic management. Traditionally, the goal is the achievement of sustained competitive advantage. The world is in desperate need of responsible managers and organisations. The responsible organisation requires change to achieve responsible competitiveness. Responsible competitiveness is achievable by integrating responsible management principles and factors throughout the strategic management process, which is the approach that we adopt in this book.

    Given the common acknowledgement that strategy implementation is the greatest challenge to managers in the 21st century and the greatest reason for strategy failure we decided to focus on strategy implementation. Rather than promoting the unrealistic idea of strategy as a purely rational and deliberate outcome, this book acknowledges and explores the idea that strategy is often emergent, messy and experimental. We focus on strategy as something that people do rather than something that an organisation possesses. Since people are the building blocks of strategy, we recognise the fact that strategy is both a cognitive and a political activity.

    Twee slagoffers, twee moordenaars en kinders wat met reëlmaat verdwyn. Speur-adjudant Jaap (Boel) Helberg ondersoek die saak. Een slagoffer is ’n invloedryke sakeman se vrou. Hy is ’n man met ’n diaboliese stokperdjie: veghonde. Die ander moordenaar hou van raaiselspeletjies. Hy bel Helberg met die slagoffer se selfoon, vertel hom waar hy haar lyk kan kry en stuur vir hom ’n video van hoe sy vermoor word. Daar is ’n reël; net hy mag by die ondersoek betrokke wees, anders ... En sy is die derde slagoffer. Die ander twee is in ’n verlate, skemer plek, in donker water wat nooit son sien nie, by ’n groot swart kruis wat met son kom en gaan. Helberg is geskok toe hy uitvind wat die ryk sakeman se stokperdjie is en wie sy vrou vermoor het. In die makabere klimaks waarop dit uitloop skiet die moordenaar hom. Helberg herwin sy bewussyn in die hospitaal en hoor dat sy vrou vermis word. Toe hy genoegsaam herstel het, soek hy na sy vrou. Hy kry haar in die plek waar die lyke van die twee vroue in die donker waterkuil is. Sy leef nog. Haar ontvoerder is die moordenaar van drie vroue; iemand wat Helberg nooit sou verdink nie.

    Thys Krige se dryfveer is die onopgeloste moord op sy pa. Die enigste leidraad wat hy het is iemand wat hy daardie aand vlugtig naby die toneel gesien het, en die woorde wat die man vir hom gese het: "Kyk dieper as die bloed." Sy ondersoek na die moord op twee sakemanne lei Krige na die onopgeloste moord op 'n model. Hy krap 'n misdaadsindikaat van korrupte sakemanne en senior polisie-offisiere oop; mense wat hulself as bo die wet beskou; mense wat nie skroom om wie in hul pad kom uit die weg te ruim nie. In die proses kry Krige oproepe van 'n geheimsinnige persoon wat nie alleen sy vordering met die ondersoek dophou nie, maar ook duidelik baie van hom weet. In hul gesprekke se die man by herhaling vir hom: "Kyk dieper as die bloed."

    Hoë politici sweer saam om Suid-Afrika in ’n diktatorskap te dompel. Die armes het genoeg gehad en kom in opstand. Die land brand. Mense vir wie Thys Krige omgee, kry seer. Iemand moet daarvoor boet.

    Hierdie keer word hy betrek by korrupsie en komplotte op regeringsvlak. ’n Korrupte president speel in die hand van buitelandse moondhede met imperialistiese ambisies wat ’n voet in die deur soek. Sagte kolonisasie, noem mens dit. Staatskaping noem die media dit. Die tentakels daarvan al so diep in die struktuur van mense in sleutelposte dat niemand meer seker is wie betrokke is en wie vertrou kan word nie. In sulke gevalle protesteer mense gewoonlik. Hulle kan byvoorbeeld so aggressief gemaak word dat hulle mekaar begin uitroei. Traangas word gedokter met dwelms wat ten doel het dat mense mekaar te lyf gaan. Grootskaalse chaos maak ’n land onregeerbaar. Dryf die mense se frustrasie tot breekpunt. Sweep hulle teen mekaar op. Maar daar is maniere om hulle stemme stil te kry.

    In Krige se stryd het drie vroue deel van sy wêreld geword: sy halfsuster, ’n gestremde IT-spesialis en ’n genie wat die donkerweb met die donkerbewuste in die mens se psige in verband bring. Al drie gaan gebuk onder pyn en trauma, soos Krige, en vir al drie ervaar hy iets wat aan liefde gelykgestel kan word.

    “Hy voel die wonderlike pyn wegsak, diep in, dieper, dieper, tot dit sag word en tot rus kom op die koue en harde ding in hom.”
