Business Strategy

The Economist

De: Jeremy Kourdi

Narrado por: Christopher Oxford

A business's overall strategy may be set at board level, but many people throughout the organisation will be involved in deciding that strategy and implementing it - making decisions that are strategic in nature.

On these decisions hangs the future of the business: how successful it is, even whether it is successful. Yet business history is full of strategic decisions, both big and small, that were weak, poorly conceived and consequently disastrous. This book looks at the whole process of strategic decision-making: the forces that influence decision-makers, the traps they fall into, the times when a rational approach to decision-making is required and those when intuition is needed, the techniques that can help managers reach a strategically sound decision, and the questions they should ask themselves before coming to a decision.By looking at the range of strategic decisions that companies face and the techniques - old and new - that can help, this book provides insights into how to make effective strategic decisions.

Jeremy Kourdi is a freelance writer and business consultant. During his career he has worked with many well-known organisations in the UK and internationally including the Economist, IMD Business School in Lausanne and the Chartered Management Institute. He has an MA in International Relations and is the author of twelve business books and many articles.

Business Strategy 101

Good, basic business strategy information. Nothing really groundbreaking in the book, but a good starting point for anyone not familiar with running a business or development of business strategy.

Business strategy

Well structured. Comprehensive. Great examples. Great cross referencing. A go-to strategy guide that I will revisit again and again.

Informative

I will use what I learned from this book in order to make better business decisions.

Accessible content on management in general

This is not just a book on strategy but it goes into general business management topics. It is simple to follow so audio works well as the concepts are in no need of intense concentration to grasp them.

informative but dry

Struggled to finish. valuable content. uninspired delivery. had to listen to several parts more than once.

Comprehensive coverage of different strategies

Content is great with compressive business strategies and angles to think about. Don’t like the 2 second pauses throughout. Overall well worth a listen

Getting started is not the first step

The opportunity is simply and inside spark that will light you in tunnel of darkness , and it will very much needed , if that spark is not kept lit even by a match of firewood the water might just take it. Keep up to date with all corners, double You’re eyes, and body … the rest I won’t disclose it’s up to youu to see it for you’re self

Terrible narration

I couldn’t get all the way through this title. The narration is terrible. Hard to stay focused given the poor performance.
