Good Strategy/Bad Strategy - Rumelt Richard
When Richard Rumelt's Good Strategy/Bad Strategy was published in 2011, it immediately struck a chord, calling out as bad strategy the mish-mash of pop culture, motivational slogans and business buzz speak so often and misleadingly masquerading as the real thing. Since then, his original and pragmatic ideas have won fans around the world and continue to help readers to recognise and avoid the elements of bad strategy and adopt good, action-oriented strategies that honestly acknowledge the challenges being faced and offer straightforward approaches to overcoming them. Strategy should not be equated with ambition, leadership, vision or planning; rather, it is coherent action backed by an argument. For Rumelt, the heart of good strategy is insight into the hidden power in any situation, and into an appropriate response - whether launching a new product, fighting a war or putting a man on the moon. Drawing on examples of the good and the bad from across all sectors and all ages, he shows how this insight can be cultivated with a wide variety of tools that lead to better thinking and better strategy, strategy that cuts through the hype and gets results.

Komu věřit, koho oklamat - Gerta Vrbová
Vzpomínky Gerty Vrbové popisují dramatické události mezi lety 1939 a 1945, které se odehrávaly na území Slovenska a Maďarska tak, jak je zažila dospívající Gerti. Gerta Sidonová, Gerta Takács, Gerta Jurkovičová, Éva Takács, Éva Jurkovics... Pod každým jménem se skrývá příběh o nebezpečí a strachu, o falešné identitě, útěku, zkoumavé nedůvěře vůči okolí, ale také o odhodlání se nevzdávat. Gerta Vrbová, dnes emeritní profesorka neurologie na University College v Londýně, se narodila roku 1926 v Trnavě. Sidonovi zde měli řeznictví a patřili k váženým rodinám. Sílící tlak slovenského nacionalismu přiměl rodinu k ilegálnímu útěku do Budapešti. Hlavní dilema svých rozhodnutí během války shrnula autorka už v samotném názvu knihy: Komu můžu věřit, koho mám oklamat? Balance mezi oběma póly, kdy na jedné straně stojí někdy upřímná, někdy opatrná důvěra a na druhé straně schopnost věrohodně se přetvařovat a lhát, byla pro přežití za války rozhodující.

Agile Strategy - Ralph Fernando
Agile Strategy is a practical guide for managers responsible for setting the strategic direction of their organisations in increasingly dynamic markets. Through its frameworks, tools and real-world examples, it explains how to transform business performance through greater organisational agility. LEADERSHIP AND MANAGEMENT STRATEGY BUSINESS TRANSFORMATION Why do we need a new book on strategy?The pace of change is increasing, and strategic management is not keeping up. More than one in four (28%) strategic initiatives fail to meet their original goals and business intent[1], with insufficient agility identified as one of the top three barriers to successful strategy implementation[2].The square peg of traditional strategy — vision, mission and blue-sky exercises; the separation of strategy from “implementation†— no longer fits the round hole of increasingly dynamic markets. It is time for a new approach.How is Agile Strategy different?Agile Strategy distinguishes itself from other strategy and agile books currently available in that it is: Designed for large organisations: Much of the writing on agile techniques addresses start-ups or small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), which operate under very different constraints and freedoms. Agile Strategy is written for large organisations who want to be more agile. Commercially-led: The approach is not a lightly airbrushed business rewrite of agile software development practices, but rather a fundamental rethinking of commercial and operational business practices. Practical: It is anchored in innovative and robust concepts but designed as a practical “how-to†guide: a book for practitioners, written by a practitioner. Results-focused: Whilst addressing a broad range of organisational topics, the book is grounded in the definition and delivery of measurable business benefits. Why should I read it?Agile Strategy offers four key benefits to its readers: A clear framework ("RADAR") A single, easy-to-grasp guiding principle: The Horizon Measurable benefits A practical approach I hope you not only enjoy reading about this innovative new approach, but also go on to realise the full potential of your organisation by implementing it.

*THE NUMBER 1 BESTSELLER**PERFECT FOR FOOTBALL FANS & EVERTON FC SUPPORTERS*They don't make footballers - and football autobiographies - like this anymore. The brutally honest, riotously entertaining story of the much-loved Everton legend and iconic Premier League bad boy. 'A hell of a read. I couldn't recommend it more. Powerful' Gary Lineker‘Pure charisma’ The Times‘The honesty is unrestrained … there is humour … there is much to amuse … He has been through the storm and lived to tell the tales’ Daily Mail 'Funny, sad, regretful, optimistic. Duncan Ferguson - scarred, but warm, charismatic and brutally honest… Big Dunc is terrific’ Tom English, BBC‘He’s real’ Roy Keane'A legend' Carlo Ancelotti‘One of life's good guys. Kind and generous. As you can imagine, I'd much rather him be a teammate than be an opponent ' Alan Shearer____________________________________________________________________ Praised by Wayne Rooney and Sir Alex Ferguson as one of the greatest and most passionate players to ever play the game, Duncan Ferguson, or Big Dunc as he is known, is larger than life in every sense. Measuring a towering 6 feet 4 inches in height, from the moment the striker emerged in British football in the 1990s, he was front and back page news. On the pitch, fans loved Duncan for his roguish charm, his thrilling goals and his total commitment in every game. Fighting tooth and nail, he was a born leader and took no prisoners. Like his rival Roy Keane, he played close to the limit, and often crossed it. Such as the time he was sentenced to 3 months in Glasgow’s toughest prison for headbutting an opponent – the first and only time a footballer has ever gone to jail for a crime committed on a football pitch. In BIG DUNC: The Upfront Autobiography, Duncan reveals, for the first time, the full story: the truth about his experiences in prison, his partying with African princes and Liverpool gangsters, his fighting with burglars, his making and losing a fortune, and how he turned his life around through his beloved Everton F.C.. In the process, the book sheds light on one of football’s most charismatic but notorious and enigmatic hardmen. He is a pillar of the community in Merseyside, giving back to stricken children who share a similar tough upbringing to his own. Duncan's book takes readers on a rollercoaster ride of humour, drama and redemption. Buckle up. ____________________________________________________________________________‘Duncan Ferguson is an iconic figure for Evertonians as a great number 9...Big Dunc loves the scousers & the scousers love him!’ Jamie Carragher‘Duncan is possibly the most misunderstood man in football.

Strategy - Sir Lawrence Freedman
Selected as a Financial Times Best Book of 2013In Strategy: A History, Sir Lawrence Freedman, one of the world''s leading authorities on war and international politics, captures the vast history of strategic thinking, in a consistently engaging and insightful account of how strategy came to pervade every aspect of our lives. The range of Freedman''s narrative is extraordinary, moving from the surprisingly advanced strategy practiced in primate groups, to the opposing strategies of Achilles and Odysseus in The Iliad, the strategic advice of Sun Tzu and Machiavelli, the great military innovations of Baron Henri de Jomini and Carl von Clausewitz, the grounding of revolutionary strategy in class struggles by Marx, the insights into corporate strategy found in Peter Drucker and Alfred Sloan, and the contributions of the leading social scientists working on strategy today. The core issue at the heart of strategy, the author notes, is whether it is possible to manipulate and shape our environment rather than simply become the victim of forces beyond one''s control. Time and again, Freedman demonstrates that the inherent unpredictability of this environment-subject to chance events, the efforts of opponents, the missteps of friends-provides strategy with its challenge and its drama. Armies or corporations or nations rarely move from one predictable state of affairs to another, but instead feel their way through a series of states, each one not quite what was anticipated, requiring a reappraisal of the original strategy, including its ultimate objective. Thus the picture of strategy that emerges in this book is one that is fluid and flexible, governed by the starting point, not the end point. A brilliant overview of the most prominent strategic theories in history, from David''s use of deception against Goliath, to the modern use of game theory in economics, this masterful volume sums up a lifetime of reflection on strategy.

Ohledávání času přítomného - Richard Popel
»Popelův román Ohledávání času přítomného naopak až bobtná nejen imaginací, s níž je příběh rozvíjen, ale i stylem, který je košatý, bohatý a nutí některé pasáže vyslovovat nahlas, propukat smíchem či trnout. Románový projekt, jak signalizuje už název, je vystavěn na půdorysu velkých modernistických románů - nejen Hledání ztraceného času, ale i Kafkových románů, Haškova Švejka, Klímova Utrpení knížete Sternenhocha a podobně. Od velkých autorů si Richard Popel bere potřebu experimentujícího a grandiózního psaní a vypravování; zároveň ale tyto romány, především Proustovo Hledání, nostalgicky v příběhu odsouvá do minulosti jako něco, co bylo, ale už není. Román v postapokalyptickém duchu líčí svět v lecčems podobný světu Topolova Citlivého člověka - svět, který se jeví jako neproniknutelný chaos, jenž vytrhal všechny tradiční kořeny a přináležitosti a nabízí jen provizorní přežívání. Právě v kontrastu s obrazy současnosti o to sugestivněji působí ony velké romány minulosti, k nimž se odkazuje, ale které už v tom současném světě zároveň vyznívají muzeálně a nepoužitelně.« Petr A. Bílek - Ediční příprava Martin Machovec. Vychází za podpory Ministerstva kultury ČR a Nadace Český literární fond.

Leadership: Six Studies in World Strategy - Henry A. Kissinger
Henry Kissinger analyses how six extraordinary leaders he has known have shaped their countries and the world'Leaders,' writes Henry Kissinger in this compelling book, 'think and act at the intersection of two axes: the first, between the past and the future; the second between the abiding values and aspirations of those they lead. They must balance what they know, which is necessarily drawn from the past, with what they intuit about the future, which is inherently conjectural and uncertain. It is this intuitive grasp of direction that enables leaders to set objectives and lay down a strategy.'In Leadership, Kissinger analyses the lives of six extraordinary leaders through the distinctive strategies of statecraft which he believes they embodied.After the Second World War, Konrad Adenauer brought defeated and morally bankrupt Germany back into the community of nations by what Kissinger calls 'the strategy of humility'. Charles de Gaulle set France beside the victorious Allies and renewed its historic grandeur by 'the strategy of will'. During the Cold War, Richard Nixon gave geostrategic advantage to the United States by 'the strategy of equilibrium'.After twenty-five years of conflict, Anwar Sadat brought a vision of peace to the Middle East by a 'strategy of transcendence'. Against the odds, Lee Kwan Yew created a powerhouse city-state, Singapore, by 'the strategy of excellence'. Although when she came to power Britain was known as 'the sick man of Europe', Margaret Thatcher renewed her country's morale and international position by 'the strategy of conviction'.To each of these studies, Kissinger brings historical perception, public experience and - because he knew each of their subjects, and participated in many of the events he describes - personal knowledge. The book is enriched by insights and judgements such as only he could make, and concludes with his reflections on world order and the indispensability of leadership today.

CAT JARMAN''An engaged, informed companion for the armchair time traveller...captures the thrill and the difficulties of interpreting the past''. TLS''Duncan has written a masterpiece - a journey and an investigation that fuses landscape and history, chasing the echoes of Boudica''s rebellion and finding its physical traces that still surround us today.'' NICHOLAS CRANE''A brilliant imagining of the past. Mackay''s knowledge is profound, but lightly worn, his writing elegant and witty, and his enthusiasm infectious. A joy to read.'' Dr Harry Sidebottom, University of Oxford, author or THE MAD EMPEROR''Mackay''s journey into the past is hugely enjoyable.'' BBC History Magazine''The places that Mackay visits, traverses and dwells in are vividly described as a conscious attempt to revive the past... there are real moments of joy and insight.'' History TodayAlmost 2000 years ago, Boudica led the greatest rebellion Britain has ever seen. Within the space of a single blood-soaked year, she united the tribes to deliver blow after devastating blow to the Roman regime, culminating in a brutal, decisive battle.Archaeologist Duncan Mackay has spent a lifetime on the trail of Boudica. Beginning near his home in Norfolk, in the heart of Boudica''s tribal territory, he embarks on a journey in the footsteps of Romans and Britons, exploring their villages, towns, forts and roads. The passage of two millennia has buried the world that Boudica knew, but Duncan finds that its echoes and physical traces still surround us - as long as you know where to look. The armies marched along the roads we still use, and died in their thousands in towns, cities and countryside where we still live today. The site of Boudica''s last battle was long believed be lost to time, but the threads of the story all pull towards one remarkable, forgotten little corner of the English landscape.From the Breckland of Norfolk to the back streets of Colchester, from the remotest corner of Anglesey to the depths of the London Underground, Duncan takes us back two thousand years to retell the story of Britain''s bloodiest year. Fusing ancient history, modern excavation, landscape exploration, and vivid reconstruction, Echolands weaves the long-lost tapestry of Boudica''s war.

Love as a Change Strategy - Christopher J. Pitre, Mohammad F. Anwar, Jeffrey F. Ma, Frank E. Danna
A Bold, Human-Centered Guide to Leading Change That Actually Works What if your biggest barrier to change isn't strategy, but humanity? In Love as a Change Strategy, the team behind the Wall Street Journal bestseller Love as a Business Strategy is back—with an urgent, deeply human follow-up. This isn't another dry playbook on change management. It's a wake-up call for leaders who are tired of fear-fueled cultures, toxic “transformation,†and surface-level solutions. The truth? Most change fails because people resist what they don't trust—and leaders aren't willing to change themselves first. That's where this book begins. Part memoir, part practical guide, and part leadership journey, Love as a Change Strategy takes readers inside one company's brutally honest transformation story. Through powerful storytelling, actionable tools, and sharp insights, the authors reveal what happens when you lead change from a place of love—not fear. Inside, you'll discover: Why most change efforts collapse—and how to fix themReal stories of failure, ego, and redemption from the authors' own leadership teamA people-first framework to lead adaptive change in any organizationThe change principles that build trust, accountability, and forward momentumHow to confront resistance, navigate chaos, and make love your change strategy If you're leading change (or trying to survive one), this book is your roadmap. Raw, honest, and transformational—Love as a Change Strategy is the leadership reset we all need.

The Great Betrayal - Fawaz A. Gerges
How the Middle East can achieve political change and social progressThe Middle East is in upheaval: a widening chasm between state and society, the failure of governing elites to address citizens’ genuine grievances, massive economic mismanagement—all made worse by repeated interventions by Western powers. Why has political change been so difficult to achieve? In The Great Betrayal, Fawaz Gerges argues that the convergence of political authoritarianism, meddling by the West, and the effects of prolonged regional conflicts have produced political paralysis and economic stagnation. The agency of everyday people has been thwarted by an authoritarian status quo that is maintained by a powerful partnership of external and internal forces. Gerges traces more than a century of consequential events in the region, from the end of the Ottoman Empire and the European carve-up of the Middle East to the Iranian Revolution and the Arab Spring uprisings. He shows how the people of the Middle East have been systematically denied self-determination, political representation, and effective government. Gerges finds that the region, with its diversity, variability, and volatility, defies abstract grand theories; previous accounts that have attributed the Middle East’s problems to any one cause such as modernism, ignore the complexity and specificity of the issues. What can we learn from the Middle East’s vexed history? Gerges is optimistic, declaring that the region’s future will be determined not by dictators and their superpower patrons but by a growing population of Arab and Muslim youth who demand to be treated as citizens and not as subjects.

The Soul of Strategy - Bernard J. Jaworski, David E. Sprott
A powerful and original new take on business strategy—with the customer at the center of it—designed to generate enduring competitive advantage When setting strategy, organizations typically spend too much time thinking about the competition and resources within the firm and not enough time on the customer—the soul of any organization. Such an approach is reflected in the fact that most popular theories of business strategy have focused on resource- and capability-based perspectives of the firm. Real-world businesses embracing and applying these intuitively attractive theories have struggled to compete, however, exactly because those theories fail to adequately account for the most important actor in all commercial transactions: the customer. In The Soul of Strategy, two veteran strategists and academics deliver a straightforward new approach to business strategy—one that builds and expands on the classic work of Peter Drucker—recognizing the inescapable reality, faced by every organization, that a firm's primary job is to create and keep customers. The book offers a comprehensive customer-centric strategy framework, a set of fresh perspectives and tools, and step-by-step guides to implementing the leadership styles, governance structures, and technology that companies require to outcompete their rivals in attracting and retaining customers. The book brings to life these key principles by using case studies and examples of organizations in a variety of industries. You'll find: A clear description of the concept of customer centricity and its value to the organization. A new consumer behavior framework that will enable you to ask the right questions to elicit unique, actionable customer insightsA “Customer Choice Cascade†that details how to select, prioritize, and deliver value for both customers and the firm. A balanced perspective on how to both find sources of innovation and systematically abandon activities, products, structures and systems that no longer add value to customers. The key role that customer insight data play in setting customer-centered strategy. Expansions on Drucker's proven strategic insights and ideas that go beyond well-worn frameworks like Porter's Five Forces. Perfect for managers, executives, board members, and other business leaders, The Soul of Strategy is also a can't-miss resource for strategy consultants and advisors and anyone else interested in effective new ways of thinking about difficult and long-standing strategic problems.

The Economist: Business Strategy 3rd edition - Jeremy Kourdi
The effectiveness of a good strategy well implemented determines a business'' future success or failure. Yet history is full of strategic decisions, big and small, that were ill-conceived, poorly organised and consequently disastrous. This updated guide looks at the whole process of strategic decision-making - from vision, forecasting, and resource allocation, through to implementation and innovation. Strategy is about understanding where you are now, where you are heading and how you will get there. There is no room for timidity or confusion. Although the CEO and the board decide a company''s overall direction, it is the managers at all levels of the organisation that will determine how the vision can be transformed into action. In short, everyone is involved in strategy. But getting it right involves difficult choices: which customers to target, what products to offer and the best way to keep costs low and service high. And constantly changing business conditions inevitably bring risks. Even after business strategy has been developed, a company must remain nimble and alert to change, and view strategy as an ongoing and evolving process.The message of this guide is simple: strategy matters, and getting it right is fundamental to business success - this book will show you how.

Strategy in 3D - Greg Fisher, Rene M. Bakker, John E. Wisneski
Strategy decision making and action used to be off limits to all but the select few at the very top of an organization. It was a largely cerebral activity focused on grand long-terms plans made at annual off-site retreats away from the daily challenges of the business. That is no longer the case.The current business environment does not wait for companies to slowly adjust in an annual meeting. The relentless pace of change renders today''s long-term future tomorrow''s history. Rapid innovations and ever-increasing complexities limit executives'' ability to make decisions with perfect information. Does this mean strategy is no longer useful, or even feasible? No. Good strategists are needed now more than ever. But today''s high-performing organizations think of strategy differently than in the past. These companies make strategy part of every manager''s role; they strategize continuously and tackle strategic problems through individuals from all parts of the organization.Strategy in this new, fast-paced world is about diagnosing the diverse array of complex challenges confronting organizations, deciding on novel solutions to address those challenges, and delivering by taking action on those solutions. Including a novel organizational framework and never-before-published application examples, Strategy in 3D helps build these foundational skills and prepares the reader for success as a strategist in the 21st century.
