"Books and articles come and go, endlessly. But a few do stick, and
this book is such a one. Organizational Strategy, Structure, and
Process broke fresh ground in the understanding of strategy at a
time when thinking about strategy was still in its early days, and
it has not been displaced since." -David J. Hickson, Emeritus
Professor of International Management & Organization,
University of Bradford School of Management Originally published in
1978, Organizational Strategy, Structure, and Process became an
instant classic, as it bridged the formerly separate fields of
strategic management and organizational behavior. In this Stanford
Business Classics reissue, noted strategy scholar Donald Hambrick
provides a new introduction that describes the book's contribution
to the field of organization studies. Miles and Snow also
contribute new introductory material to update the book's central
concepts and themes. Organizational Strategy, Structure, and
Process focuses on how organizations adapt to their environments.
The book introduced a theoretical framework composed of a dynamic
adaptive cycle and an empirically based strategy typology showing
four different types of adaptation. This framework helped to define
subsequent research by other scholars on important topics such as
configurational analysis, organizational fit, strategic human
resource management, and multi-firm network organizations.
Anticipating the future environment of business, Collaborative
Entrepreneurship discusses a revolutionary new competitive strategy
of continuous innovation that fulfills the need for efficient
provision of a constant stream of new products, services, and
markets. The book explains how firms can build a collaborative
community within which they can freely share in the creation of
wealth through innovation with the assurance that the wealth they
create will be equitably distributed. Today, the ability of firms
to innovate is restricted by barriers both inside the firm and
within their existing markets-barriers that produce limited
knowledge utilization and incremental innovations. Collaborative
Entrepreneurship describes how these barriers can be overcome so
that shared knowledge can drive continuous, sustained innovation
across a network of firms and markets.
In this incisive analysis of corporate success and failure, the
authors maintain that success is derived from a mix of
ingredients--a company's strategy, its structure, and its processes
working in concert. This book will supply managers with the
fundamentals of achieving lasting success.
