Introduction : how strategy really works -- Strategy is choice -- What is winning -- Where to play -- How to win -- Play to your strengths -- Manage what matters -- Think through strategy -- Shorten your odds -- Conclusion : the endless pursuit of winning
Strategy is not complex. But it is hard. It's hard because it forces people and organizations to make specific choices about their future -- something that doesn't happen in most companies. In this book, two well-known business thinkers get to the heart of strategy -- explaining what it's for, how to think about it, why you need it, and how to get it done
