Get to better, more effective strategy.
In nearly every business segment and corner of the world economy, the
most successful companies dramatically outperform their rivals. What is
their secret? In Better, Simpler Strategy, Harvard Business School
professor Felix Oberholzer-Gee shows how these companies achieve more
by doing less. At a time when rapid technological change and global
competition conspire to upend traditional ways of doing business, these
companies pursue radically simplified strategies. At a time when many
managers struggle not to drown in vast seas of projects and
initiatives, these businesses follow simple rules that help them select
the few ideas that truly make a difference.
Better, Simpler Strategy provides readers with a simple tool, the value
stick, which every organization can use to make its strategy more
effective and easier to execute. Based on proven financial mechanics,
the value stick helps executives decide where to focus their attention
and how to deepen the competitive advantage of their business.
How does the value stick work? It provides a way of measuring the two
fundamental forces that lead to value creation and increased financial
success—the customer's willingness-to-pay and the employee's
willingness-to-sell their services to the business. Companies that win,
Oberholzer-Gee shows, create value for customers by raising their
willingness-to-pay, and they provide value for talent by lowering their
willingness-to-sell. The approach, proven in practice, is entirely data
driven and uniquely suited to be cascaded throughout the organization.
With many useful visuals and examples across industries and
geographies, Better, Simpler Strategy explains how these two key
measures enable firms to gauge and improve their strategies and
operations. Based on the author's sought-after strategy course, this
book is your must-have guide for making better strategic decisions.

Strategy Beyond Markets examines how the strategies employed by
firms affect long run value. Scholars in this field focus their
attention on firm interactions with entities other than the firm's
primary market stakeholders. These stakeholders include
international NGOs, environmental groups, local communities,
regulators, politicians and the courts. This book is organized
around three themes: Public politics, private politics, and
integrated political strategy. In public politics, firms use
sophisticated instruments (e.g., campaign funding, committee
participation) to influence local, national, and international
political environments. In private politics, firms work closely
with NGOs and other special interest groups to preempt unfavorable
policy, react swiftly to crises, and proactively develop socially
responsible strategies. Additionally, firms that are heavily
influenced by politics are more likely to craft integrated
political strategy as part of a more comprehensive plan. This
special issue comprises papers from preeminent scholars including
David Baron, Jean-Philippe Bonardi, Daniel Diermeier, Thomas Lyon,
John Maxwell, Ken Shotts, and Dennis Yao.
