CHOICE Review

An independent consultant, author, and lecturer on strategic management, Grundy has written a practical volume about how to grow a business and create shareholder value. Drawing from numerous examples (mostly European-based companies and industries), this reflective guide provides process and tool frameworks directed toward achieving long-term corporate success. Rich with models and charts, it offers the reader a step-by-step approach for carefully integrating marketing, finance, and organizational functions. The 11 chapters are organized into four parts--introduction, targeting strategies for growth, mobilizing for breakthrough, and turning thought into action--and each closes with an "action checklist." Along with a short bibliography, four succinct but thorough appendixes provide especially useful how-to aids. This well-written book is recommended for professionals interested in implementing sustainable growth strategies as well as graduate and upper-division undergraduate students of strategic management.
