Markets are changing, competition is shifting, and businesses may be enduring or perhaps booming. Whatever the immediate conditions, corporate supervisors ask the exact same questions: which strategy will get us there, and where do we go from here? The authors assessed the logic of the leading strategic frameworks used in engineering and business schools all over the world to understand how to select the right strategy in the most suitable time. They fit those frameworks with the key strategic choices faced by dozens of business leaders at different times, during periods of equilibrium and of change. Two penetrations emerged from their investigation. First, the frameworks divided into strategies of influence three archetypes: strategies of place, and strategies of chance.
What's right for a company depends upon its circumstances, its available resources, and those resources are combined by direction. Second, most of the assumptions about competitive advantage did not hold. For instance, although strategy gurus talk about strategically invaluable resources, occasionally competitive edge came from quite average resources assembled nicely. Comprehending these variables, they assert, will help managers choose the perfect tactical framework.
