Corporate-level strategy addresses four types of decisions that only corporate-level managers can make: which businesses or markets to enter, how much to invest in each business, how to select and guide the managers of these businesses, and which activities to centralise at the corporate level. This book gives managers and executive students all the tools they need to make and review effective corporate strategy across a range of organisations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003ePreface vii\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAcknowledgements xi\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePart I – Introduction and History 1\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 1 Strategy for the Corporate Level: Summary of the Main Messages 3\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 2 Some History: From Boston Box to Three Logics that Drive Corporate Action 31\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePart II – Portfolio Strategy: Where to Invest and What to Avoid 73\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 3 How to Find Good Businesses and Avoid Bad Businesses 75\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe Business Attractiveness matrix 83\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 4 How to Make Businesses More Successful 99\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe Heartland matrix 104\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 5 How to Buy Low and Sell High 117\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFair Value matrix 133\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 6 Making Decisions about Where to Invest and What to Avoid 139\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePart III – Ways of Adding and Subtracting Value From Corporate Headquarters 157\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 7 Ten Sources of Value from Direct Influence 159\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 8 Nine Sources of Value from Coordinating across Business Divisions 181\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 9 Eight Ways Headquarters can Destroy Value 199\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 10 How to Identify Sources of Added Value for Your Company 219\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePart IV – Management Strategy: How to Structure, How Much to Centralise and How to Grow the Business Divisions 237\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 11 Structuring the Organisation into Businesses and Divisions 239\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 12 Corporate-level Strategy in Integrated Companies – The Apple Example 259\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 13 How Much to Centralise: Designing Corporate Headquarters 279\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 14 Developing New Capabilities at Corporate Headquarters 303\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 15 Encouraging Synergy and Cooperation across Business Divisions 321\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePart V – Retrospective 331\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 16 Lessons from 20 Years of Consulting Experience 333\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAppendix The Links between International Strategy and Corporate-level Strategy 347\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIndex 379\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Business \u0026amp; management [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Business \u0026amp; management\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Business%20\u0026amp;%20management%20%5BKJ%5D%22\"\u003eKJ\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Jossey-Bass","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52463029747992,"sku":"9781118818374","price":32.67,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/files\/9781118818374.jpg?v=1785545882","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/strategy-for-the-corporate-level-where-to-invest-what-to-cut-back-and-how-to-grow-organisations-with-multiple-divisions-hardback-9781118818374","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
