Good Strategy Bad Strategy - Richard Rumelt
A well-written book by Professor Richard Rumelt from the UCLA Anderson School of Management. in his book on strategy, Rumelt does not mince his words about what constitutes good and bad strategy. He draws heavily on case studies of companies and their use or misuse of corporate strategy. His is succinct in his writing and clearly differentiates between good and bad corporate strategies. Most importantly, he drives home the message that a good strategy is ultimately as good as the execution of it. Without execution, a good strategy remains an academic exercise.
