Strategy as Practice: An Activity Based Approach (SAGE Strategy series)

Book Description

Strategy as Practice heralds a defining moment in how strategic management is understood. Paula Jarzabkowski's book leads the way in setting out the meaning and implications of this new field. This book is the first of its kind to help readers bridge the gap between what managers actually do and organizational strategies. It provides an activity-based framework for studying strategy as practice, with empirical evidence to illustrate the dynamics of this framework in real terms. The book supports readers with:

- Definition of key terms
- The context in which strategy as practice has developed
- Clear concepts, frameworks and models for analyzing strategic activity

"This is a pioneering work. As the first book in the new strategy-as-practice field, it offers its readers both innovative models and exemplary field research. It should be a rich source of inspiration for future researchers in the field."
-- Richard Whittington, Said Business School, University of Oxford, U.K.

This book is indispensable reading for graduate students conducting research or doing courses on Strategy and Practice, Strategy Implementation or Strategy in Action as well as Advanced Issues in Strategy. This book will be a resource for both students and professionals alike.

The book's stories of and by 37 female leaders, from all walks of life, illustrate the seven practices of leadership described by Ms. Gustafson:

1. Dare to dream.
2. Grow through challenge.
3. Set powerful goals.
4. Focus on the power and possibilities in people.
5. Communicate effectively.
6. Set high standards, and live accordingly.
7. Live your priorities.

The women's stories resonate with honesty, hope, ideas, and success. It is a book for women beginning careers, for those celebrating motherhood and volunteerism, and for those rising in a chosen profession or contemplating a new venture.

Some Leaders Are Born Women.......2002-12-03

Women are leaders too, and all women have leadership potential and abilities. This is the message of this new book by Joan Eleanor Gustafson.

Some Leaders are Born Women tells the stories of 37 female leaders from different walks of life - so the book is easy to read, interesting and down-to-earth. It tells you how these women got their feet wet! and rose to the challenges within each of their lives, communities, businesses and families. The stories of these women ar wonderful and truly inspiring.

Joan outlines the seven essential characteristics shared by women leaders in the world today and outlines the ways in which each of us can become more effective in our lives by building and developing the leader that already lives within us. Readers who enjoy self help strategies will find the advice here helpful and relevant.

Although most of the stories are about American women, some come from other countries. I enjoyed discovering the commonalities in the stories despite the diversity of occupation and location.

It is clear to me, from reading this book, the Joan Eleanor Gustafson is herself a dynamic leader and has a lot that is interesting to say about a topic that is still difficult for women to grapple with, acknowledge and own - that some leaders are born women!

A Solid Introduction With Plenty of Examples.......2002-12-06

As an engineer with little financial background I found this book very useful for defining the financial jargon and helping me to develop spreadsheets for analysis of project cashflow. The text is concise and well written. The examples are clear and numerous. Geared for finance and real estate, the examples are easily transferable to allow the determination of a return on any investment that will have income and expenses.

This book saved me. The "Sarnoff Squeeze" is miraculous. I use it before speeches and musical performances, and it is fool-proof. Read this book carefully, and practice, and I bet you'll get results.

Still nervous.......2000-09-04

I just started graduate school and thought this book might help me overcome nervousness during the many presentations I'll have to do. This book offers very general tips for many different speaking situations (business, tv interview, etc.)and just a couple of techniques for controlling nervousness. If you're looking for a book that focuses more on controlling nerves and less on what color to wear or the perfect lighting for your face then you really should look elsewhere.

Disappointing...........2000-07-21

Perhaps my fear is a little too severe for this tape, but I did not find it at all useful. I was looking for a way to mitigate my physical symptoms and the author's suggestions/tips did not help in any way.

This is an excellent book for people who want to overcome their public speaking fears. Sarnoff teaches techniques that stop the nervousness that overcomes us before our presentations. Her book is also easy to read.

Well Communicated.......2003-04-11

I really got a lot out of this guide. It was clean, accessible, unintimidating, and extremely useful. The worksheets and cold-calling scripts were especially helpful. This guide is filled with great information helpful for and beyond your job search. I'm even looking into the other Wetfeet guides. An excellent buy!

The Smartest [money]I've Ever Spent.......2003-02-20

This guide was like the course in Business Communication I never took in school, but have since wished I had, and which could probably have saved me a lot of failed interviews and missed opportunities. Every employer will tell you the importance of communication skills, and this guide helps to sharpen those for the business world, especially in terms of the job search.

Written in a clean, professional tone and complete with plenty of examples, this guide will provide you with everything you need to navigate your way through an effective job search.

I've also found that since my job search, the communication skills I've learned from this guide are equally effective on the job. A definite must have for anyone entering the business world for the first time, or those who need a refresher course before embarking on a new job search.

Common Sense Isn't Always Common.......2006-03-07

This is a FANTASTIC book that I highly recommend because the tips, although many just common sense, will pay for itself in no time if you apply them to your life. Mark Miller writes in a conversational tone that allows you to get through the book quickly and then highlight (if its your own copy) many ideas that you can put to use in your life. Grab a copy from your local library like I did and if you agree this to be a keeper book, then get your buns back here to Amazon and buy a copy of your own. Or, better yet... trust me... and buy the book now while there are still bargain priced copies available. You will get your money's worth from this well written book; however, some of the information is outdated including the author's expired website. I give this 5 stars. I hope you will also!

According to T. G. Lewis, the rules of marketing are undergoing revolution--and those companies marketing in accordance with the old rules are doomed. Lewis defines a friction-free economy as one that assumes a zero production and distribution cost, with no competitors and infinite resources. A key component of Lewis's friction-free economy marketing is getting major market share fast, known as mainstreaming, as the company that becomes mainstream first becomes extremely difficult to dislodge. Lewis uses America Online as an example. He describes how the company flooded the marketplace with free access to its service and ended up with the lion's share of available consumers. As a result, America Online continues to grow because, in a friction-free economy, the greater your market share, the greater it becomes.

While Lewis's strategy is most visible in the computer world proper, Lewis also cites examples of businesses as diverse as fast food restaurants and car dealerships that are using the wired world to gain the friction-free economy advantage. These businesses focus on smaller groups of customers rather than broadcasting to the masses, giving away what other companies would sell and inverting the classic rule of supply and demand. In addition to covering the mechanics of the emerging economy, Lewis discusses the strategies that will enable businesses to succeed, whether they are the first in or have to carve out their position against tough competition.

Book Description

Surpassing Traditional Expectations and Achieving Business Excellence in a Wired World.

In the Wired World, notes Ted Lewis, former editor of IEEE Software and Computer magazine, traditional economic principles no longer apply: supply leads demand; companies give their products away; quality goes up while prices go down at accelerating rates. This, says Lewis, is the world of the friction-free economy, and while its effects are currently most visible in the high technology industry, all businesses will soon need to master its principles to survive.

In The Friction-Free Economy: Marketing Strategies for a Wired World, Lewis guides the reader through the frequently counter-intuitive lessons of the friction-free economy. It is a world that features (virtually) infinite shelf space and (virtually) zero marginal costs; where companies target a Market-of-One and achieve a monopoly when they control 74 percent of the market; where product life is measured in months; and where consumers band together in a new form of tribalism. Lewis carefully outlines the key concepts of the friction-free economy - including mainstreaming, lock-in, and branding - and describes their application and results.

Lewis also offers an acute examination of the current state of the wired economy and describes some of the most likely scenarios for its growth and development. Drawing on numerous examples and case studies from the high tech industry, Lewis shows how the principles of the friction-free economy are already at work, and documents the most effective strategies for any company - even the lowest of the low-tech, like restaurants and car dealerships - to compete and thrive in the Wired World.

Using real-life examples from such cutting-edge companies as Microsoft, Intel, Netscape, Sega and Sony, Lewis examines:

The phenomenon of speed: In the friction-free economy, new industries, products, and ideas circle the globe in record time. Your company is either quick or dead.

The principles of a new era: Strategies that mark this new age are mainstreaming, building strategic alliances, and targeting tribes instead of the masses, to name a few. One must master these techniques or be left behind.

The tricks of the trade: Sophisticated-sounding tools such as learning curves, marketing models and product-space disintegration determine life or death in this economy. They will soon be used universally by organizations industry-wide.

The non-intuitive consequences of a digital economy: Inverse economics will replace diminishing returns; volume pricing will win out over premium pricing, and narrowcasting will overrule broadcasting, accumulating in a paradigm shift unlike anything we've witnessed since 1775.

In a world where the traditional economic principles no longer apply, The Friction-Free Economy provides an understanding of the emerging dynamics and a workable, eminently practical blueprint for any company looking to survive and thrive in the 21st century.

Insights from a high-tech grifter.......2001-11-10

A high-tech grifter presents a half baked collection of buzzwords, techno babble, and plausible sounding nonsense. Its AWESOME!

The Friction-Free Economy is a must-read.......1999-11-25

- A paradigm shift has occurred, and "The Friction-Free Economy" explains how the significant break with the old ways of thinking, and traditional economics, has affected a company's ability to compete in today's marketplace.

- Discussed are ways to strategize, envision goals, and clarify objectives in the business/internet arena. - Ted Lewis presents complex subject matter in an entertaining way that I understand it more readily and in greater depth. I especially like his acumen and quick wit.

- I enjoy watching trends in the computer industry, so I was fascinated to learn, the real underlying reasons, why Microsoft continues to issue new versions of a product. Also, I gained insight, on why a company would give their merchandise or services away for free. It's a discerning view on the how's and why's of what's happening, not in hindsight but as they occur in real-time.

- This isn't for the casual reader, though. It's geared toward the astute, knowledgeable and serious businessman, who wants to "grow an industry".

- To get the full benefit from this book, give a copy, to the key people in your organization and arm yourself with an economics book.

Not only light, but erroneous. Negative stars........1999-05-08

Not only does the author carpet bomb with buzz phrases, he does not understand the difference between classical and Keynesian economics. He cites Keynesianism quite incorrectly, attributing to it concepts from classical and neoclassical economics. Scary to think that colleges pass this blunderation on to students.

This would be a great shorter article.......1999-02-19

This is a good treatment of the rules of the new economy although the author tends to let enthusiasm get in the way of a careful writing style. I wish there were a few less cliches. The rules are changing for internet based providers and therefore for all economic units in society. The author may believe that the rules are changing more rapidly than other observers. I tend to think that Michael Murphy's book on technology based stock analysis covers a lot of the same ground and in a more effective manner.

Great potential, but only a draft of what it could have been.......1998-02-06

There were several intriguing points in the book "The Friction Free Economy," but none of the points were developed, supported or sufficiently documented. Lewis is an academic who presumably knows better; I think that he wrote this after long days at work, and it was never edited. The last two chapters are only a repeat of the first part of the book. I would recommend Grove's "Only the Paranoid Survive," Moschella's "Waves of Power," or Yoffie's "Competing in the Age of Digital Convergence" before this title- or Tapscott's "Digital Economy." Lewis just leaves you scratching your head, looking for the guts behind the fluff. It is an annoying book because of its laziness in supporting the potentially fascinating ideas. Lewis should rewrite it, and resubmit it to the public in a new form.

Beyond my expectations.......2006-12-01

I work for a Fortune 500 company, although we already market in the US to the Hispanic community, we strive to stay ahead of the trends. "Beyond Bodegas" was recently recommended to me by a fellow marketer who attended a retail conference where the author, Jim Perkins, had not only spoke, but also conducted a retail tour providing attendees hands-on experience within the stores. I'm sorry to say I missed out on the opportunity to attend. Skeptical as I am that there's much more to learn beyond what my company has accomplished, "Beyond Bodegas" -- with its excerpts to other companies' practices and in-depth insights to cultural sensitivities that impact a consumer's purchase decision -- proved otherwise. Extremely legitimate, relevant and timely, an excellent read for marketers in all phases of business. I hope to read more from this author.

Seasoned, practical, tested advice.......2005-02-07

In Beyond Bodegas: Developing A Retail Relationship With Hispanic Customers, author Jim Perkins draws upon his affinity for Spanish culture as well as his many years of experience working in the retail business in Mexico and the United States to offer seasoned, practical, tested advice to materially assist retailers of all kinds to learn more about what their Hispanic customers may expect from them. Such retailers are provided with strategies to attract Hispanic customers ranging from creating a store-within-a-store, to stocking known Hispanic brands alongside their U.S. counterparts, to making certain their signs are in Spanish and a bilingual staff is on hand to assist their Hispanic clientele. Also covered in detail are Hispanic brands, elements in creating warm and friendly exteriors and interiors, the importance of faith and religious holidays in the Hispanic community, and the necessity of making a commitment to the Hispanic community in order to be successful marketing to an Hispanic customer base. With the growing Hispanic population within the United States, Beyond Bodegas is significant and highly recommended reading for anyone seeking to market a product or service to Hispanic consumers.

Not a guide for the casual business trip.......2000-06-20

I bought "A Guide to Doing Business in Japan" in preparation for an upcoming. month-long business trip to Japan. Having been to the island nation once before, I figured that a little brush-up on etiquette, practices, and customs couldn't hurt. This wasn't the book for that, however. "A Guide to Doing Business in Japan" is focused on helping those who want to set up businesses in Japan, not those who visit. It is very easy to read, but the information is only centered around legal issues, real estate practices, descriptions of the business calendar, and like topics. There is little to be gained here for a short trip on business.
