The book shows how to carry out sound analyses, how to define concrete strategic objectives, how to develop and assess strategic options and how to determine which implementation projects are necessary. Numerous practical examples serve to illustrate the proposed approach.
For the third edition, the sections on corporate strategy and business strategy development have been redesigned and expanded. Throughout the book, many aspects have been clarified and simplified.
