Making Sense of Strategy

In a wry, snappy voice, consultant Tony Manning offers a concise guide to effective decision making for anyone steering a company. His Making Sense of Strategy outlines the most important things strategists need to know: how to make quick, informed choices and persuade stakeholders to get on board. Manning, a former head of marketing at Coca-Cola Export Corp. in southern and central Africa, explains how to define the company business model and goals, then shows readers how to craft the ""strategic conversations"" they'll need to have with investors, executives and employees. He includes advice on changing the corporate culture and motivating workers in everyday exchanges. (Apr.)
