Examining some of the new and emerging issues in
strategic management, Loizos Heracleous offers a fresh
approach to the established ideas of strategy. Beginning
with the historical development of the strategy field,
including the influence of industrial organisation and the
resource-based view, he develops a new perspective
labelled an `organisational action` view of strategy. This
approach is theoretically underlain by organisation
theory and takes seriously such issues as the role of
agency, the need for a longitudinal focus on process,
the complexities of strategy implementation, and
organisational facets such as strategic choice,
organisational culture, organisational discourses and
learning. Combining theoretical subtlety with an applied
orientation, Heracleous examines topical areas such as
corporate governance, inter-organisational networks,
and organising for the future. With original research and
extensive surveys of the strategy literature, combined
with a strong practical orientation, this book is ideal for
MBA students, strategy researchers and the more
thoughtful practitioner.isbn-9780521258579
