Why you should read Elements of Strategy

Although far too many strategic plans end up in back rooms collecting dust, strategic planning should not be an ivory-tower exercise. Indeed, to have a viable, competitive future, your company must set corresponding goals and make realistic plans to achieve them. Mark Daniell’s knowledge-packed, brief (a scant 100 pages) book on strategy is a valuable guide for corporate planners who are developing strategic blueprints to achieve long-term goals. getAbstract recognizes the inherent value of well-planned pocket guides that efficiently summarize vital, complex business topics in a digestible format, complete with handy checklists and other easily accessible data. Daniell’s superbly organized book is exactly this kind of worthwhile guide.
