‘Your favorite books on Business Strategy are?’
‘Which are your favorite books on Business Strategy; and what is special about them?
This is a question that I have posted on LinkedIn.com in 2008. Below are my answers and the answers of several LinkedIn members. This is a comprehensive overview of literature on this topic, and might be useful for you when selecting books in this area.
My two favorites books on Business Strategy are:
1. Strategy Maps by Robert Kaplan and David Norton.
They show very clearly how to operationalize the mission, vision and strategy of a company. It contains many striking examples. This book also gives you good ideas on how to define an effective Balanced Scorecard.
2. Executing Strategy by Mark Morgan, Raymond E. Levitt and William Malek (Harvard Business Press).
This excellent book presents the ‘Strategic Execution Framework’. It is a comprehensive and easy to use framework.
It shows how to formulate a mission, vision and strategy, and how to translate this into a project portfolio which realizes the strategy. ‘
I have used this book for a strategy formulation project, it is very useful and practical. I really like the combination of formulating and implementation strategy.
