STRATEGY SYNTHESIS: RESOLVING STRATEGY PARADOXES TO CREATE COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE, 2EBob de Wit; Ron Meyer

The belief that managers and potential managers will profit from understanding the major conflicting approaches to strat-egy forms the point of departure for this book. Ignoring the profound differences between the various schools of thoughtdoes not enhance a manager’s or student’s capacity for strategic thinking. Rather, it is only when there is knowledge of thevarious points of view can strategists truly see the range of options open to them. Then they can find a way to choosebetween them, or integrate them, to be practically effective. To structure the comparison of strategy approaches, the mostimportant conflicting strategy perspectives have been clustered together around ten key strategy issues, one key issue perchapter. Two classic readings in each chapter by key strategic thinkers further represent the two opposite positions.

DATA-DRIVEN BUSINESS MODELSAlan Weber

While there are lots of works on business modeling and strategic planning, most are either theoretical abstractionsor models driven by financial formulas rather than by “where the money is”—in a company’s customers and theirunmet needs and wants. On the other hand, there are books on data mining and related subjects, but they eitherget hung up with the technical execution or limit themselves to the marketing perspective. Data-Driven BusinessModels will marry the best of both. Using measured performance has become a favorite topic of seminars and arti-cles in the trades and business press. For the purposes of this book it means how you view, develop and run yourbusiness—using all of the data available to do that—and how to model and to continuously reinvent that businesstoo meet the needs of current customers and identify and capitalize on new profitable opportunities.
