The Strategic Management Series, Winning Strategies in a Deconstructing World

Das Ende des 19. Jahrhunderts sah den Aufbau der vertikal integrierten Wertkette - der Inbegriff des modernen Unternehmens -, und das Ende des 20. Jahrhunderts ist Zeuge ihres Abbaus. Dieser Abbau hat für das strategische Management eines Unternehmens gravierende Auswirkungen. Dieses Buch - der neueste Band der Reihe 'Strategic Management Series' - untersucht, welche Auswirkungen der Abbau der Wertkette auf die Unternehmensstrategie hat, wie sich das strategische Denken verändert und welche Maßnahmen notwendig sind, um mit den daraus resultierenden Herausforderungen und Chancen umzugehen. "Winning Strategies in a Deconstructing World" enthält Beiträge von bedeutenden Experten und behandelt brandaktuelle Ideen und Fragen der strategischen Managementtheorie und -praxis.
