High Performance Companies

Beschreibung

What makes a company a star performer? In an increasingly competitive and fast-paced business environment, a good strategy has become a matter of necessity rather than an option or choice. In High Performance Companies, Nitin Pangarkar--a world-recognized authority on business strategy--looks into the strategies of a diverse range of companies to see what makes them tick and how they have become perennial over-achievers. Rather than proposing yet another framework for broad strategizing, Professor Pangarkar offers business leaders a practical, proven set of rules-of-thumb or principles that companies can consider while making their day-to-day decisions which, in turn, will determine their actual strategy. These principles traverse a wide spectrum of scenarios, such as strategic changes implemented by companies, resource allocation decisions especially towards building durable assets, and resource acquisition through inorganic means. Minimizing jargon while maintaining rigor, the book's reader-friendly approach engagingly draws out the message from detailed cases studies of well-known companies such as Coca-Cola, Singapore Airlines and Starbucks to lesser known companies such as Illinois Tool Works, SAS Institute, Fanuc and Heng Long Leather. A combination of both short and long case studies in each chapter demonstrate the general applicability of the principles and also improve the relevance to the reader by introducing diversity in contexts.
The easy-to-adopt strategies that make companies from Coca-Cola to Starbucks perennial over-performers and that you can use, too High Performance Companies complements the frameworks for strategy making detailed in many existing books, proposing a number of rules of thumb (or principles) that companies can consider when making their day-to-day decisions which, in turn, will determine their actual strategies. These principles traverse a wide range of scenarios, such as strategic changes implemented by companies, resource allocation decisions--especially towards building durable assets--and resource acquisition through inorganic means. The book adopts a reader-friendly approach by teasing out the lessons to be found in detailed cases studies from interesting companies. The writing minimizes jargon while maintaining rigor, especially with regard to the applicability and relevance of the strategic principles to different business contexts. * Cites extensive evidence in support of the proposed arguments, without sacrificing readability * Combines both short and long case studies within each chapter to demonstrate the general applicability of the principles presented * Uses a variety of examples ranging from well-known companies such as Coca-Cola, Singapore Airlines, and Starbucks to relatively lesser known companies such as Illinois Tool Work, SAS Institute, and Heng Long Leather to show that the principles presented are applicable everywhere Providing valuable new insight into what makes a business successful and how to replicate this in a company of any size, High Performance Companies is an essential addition to the library of any manager or student of business.
