Summary |
Modern managers and students of management are inundated with advice on how to change organizations in order to improve their effectiveness. This book makes sense of all this competing advice, considering the best ways for organizations to develop their strategic capabilities in a fast-changing world.
The authors map all the major routes to organizational improvement and classify them into a number of basic categories. Five separate approaches, each with its own theoretical provenance, are identified, and each type of approach is assessed and evaluated. The authors draw on both strategy and human resource management to highlight the interesting and subtle relationships between strategy and capability.
The book is highly practical, enabling the manger or HR professional, through an informed understanding of the advice available, to assess which solutions are most appropriate for their organization.
