Diagnosis and Design of Strategic Planning Systems in Diversified Corporations (Classic Reprint) by Peter Lorange Pdf

Excerpt from Diagnosis and Design of Strategic Planning Systems in Diversified Corporations A second purpose of planning, however, springs from the need to cope with discontinuities in the firm's environment and to seize new Opportunities and avoid arising threats. Scanning the environment for relevant data, developing new programs in attractive business areas, taking advantage of the firm's strengths and providing for unforseen contingencies comprise a second aspect of long-range planning activity that we might label adaptive planning.

A Framework for Strategic Planning in Multinational Corporations (Classic Reprint) by Peter Lorange Pdf

Excerpt from A Framework for Strategic Planning in Multinational Corporations Strategic planning in a multinational corporation has a two - fold task: to identify the strategic Options most relevant to the corporation and to narrow down these Options into the one best plan. Stated this way there is of course nothing fundamentally different between the stra tegic planning task of a multinational corporation and that of any other large corporation. However, since multinationals Offer several complex and distinctively different approaches to organizational design and planning, it is useful to examine some Of the problems of strategic planning in the context Of the multinationals. The broad definition Of the strategic planning tasks given above has several implications. In order to be able to identify the most relevant strategic Options, the corporation needs to adapt continuously to the environment. Also, in order to narrow down the strategic Options into the one best plan, the corporation must be able to integrate its many diverse activities. In this article we shall attempt to clarify the major purposes of planning in the multinationals in terms Of adap tation and integration needs.

Strategic Planning by George A. Steiner Pdf

In today's complex world of business, strategic planning is indispensable to effective management. Ever since the mid-1950's, when American companies began to develop formal long-range planning systems, wise managers have understood the importance of knowing where their firm was headed and how it intended to get there. To function effectively in a modern, planned operation, every manager must have a practical understanding of how the planning process works. That's exactly what this book offers: a step-by-step guide to strategic planning. George A. Steiner, a well-known expert in the field of management, provides a concise, jargon-free handbook that avoids abstract theory and takes you straight to the how-to of planning. Whether you're designing and implementing a new plan or working with a plan that's already in operation, Strategic Planning puts the information you need at your fingertips. It takes you through every stage of the process, from idea to execution to evaluation. (And explains Fifty Common Pitfalls you'll need to know about.)You can plug your own data into the lucid charts, tables, and checklists for a valuable start on getting organized and evaluating your planning needs. And there's plenty of penetrating discussion about the questions and quandaries you're likely to meet along the way. For example: * How do you identify, evaluate, and implement strategies? * How do you design a planning system to fit the unique characteristics of you and your company? * Can an intuitive manager do formal strategic planning? * What are some ways to develop clear objectives? * What human behavior factors can endanger planning and how can managers overcome them? * How, and when, should a situation audit be made? * What do you need to know about computer models? * How can business planning lessons be applied to not-for-profit organizations? * How can managers apply lessons of planning experience to the planning of their own careers? You don't have to get an advanced degree to make strategic planning a part of your management style. All you need is the expert advice in this idea-packed handbook. (As a bonus the book includes a glossary of the terms, tools, and techniques of strategic planning.)

Planning Systems for Strategic Development (Classic Reprint) by Peter Lorange Pdf

Excerpt from Planning Systems for Strategic Development While ample attention typically is brought to capital invest ment decisions in long-range planning and strategic management, less attention is often given to the role of strategic development expenditures as vehicles for strategy implementation. While Undoubtedly most executives acknowledge the key importance of strategic development expenditures for corporate success, it often seems to be the case that the planning of strategic development projects is unduly separated from the thrust of the long-range planning process. Thus, these substantial expenditures may not contribute as much as they should to the strategic direction setting of the firm. In this article we shall discuss a system for managing strategic development expenditures. While much progress has been made in understanding how to manage development expenditures 323 projects, less emphasis has been put on the role of such systems as part of the overall set of management systems. By taking the viewpoint that a planning system for strategic projects is part of a broader set of management systems, we shall explore its integration with the long-range strategic planning system as well as, less obviously, with the formal organization structure, the corporate strategy, the control system and the incentive system.

The Value Added of Strategic Is Planning by John C. Henderson Pdf

Excerpt from The Value Added of Strategic Is Planning: Understanding Consistency, Validity, and Is Markets Each of the three planning issues identified in Section 1 has long been the subject of research. At the core of planning and design is the recognition that this process requires the participant to move between multiple levels of abstraction For example, strategic planning is often envisioned as having three levels: corporate, business, and functional Each level reflects varying sets of stakeholders that are affected by or can affect the plan, the extent to which forces external to the firm are explicitly addressed, the extent to which organizational boundaries within the firm are viewed as constraints, and so on. In essence. The planning process addresses the overwhelming complexity represented by a large system by decomposing it according to dimensions such as resources, function, time.

The Structuring of Organizations by Henry Mintzberg Pdf

Synthesizes the empirical literature on organizationalstructuring to answer the question of how organizations structure themselves --how they resolve needed coordination and division of labor. Organizationalstructuring is defined as the sum total of the ways in which an organizationdivides and coordinates its labor into distinct tasks. Further analysis of theresearch literature is neededin order to builda conceptualframework that will fill in the significant gap left by not connecting adescription of structure to its context: how an organization actuallyfunctions. The results of the synthesis are five basic configurations (the SimpleStructure, the Machine Bureaucracy, the Professional Bureaucracy, theDivisionalized Form, and the Adhocracy) that serve as the fundamental elementsof structure in an organization. Five basic parts of the contemporaryorganization (the operating core, the strategic apex, the middle line, thetechnostructure, and the support staff), and five theories of how it functions(i.e., as a system characterized by formal authority, regulated flows, informalcommunication, work constellations, and ad hoc decision processes) aretheorized. Organizations function in complex and varying ways, due to differing flows -including flows of authority, work material, information, and decisionprocesses. These flows depend on the age, size, and environment of theorganization; additionally, technology plays a key role because of itsimportance in structuring the operating core. Finally, design parameters aredescribed - based on the above five basic parts and five theories - that areused as a means of coordination and division of labor in designingorganizational structures, in order to establish stable patterns of behavior.(CJC).

Good Strategy Bad Strategy by Richard Rumelt Pdf

Good Strategy/Bad Strategy clarifies the muddled thinking underlying too many strategies and provides a clear way to create and implement a powerful action-oriented strategy for the real world. Developing and implementing a strategy is the central task of a leader. A good strategy is a specific and coherent response to—and approach for—overcoming the obstacles to progress. A good strategy works by harnessing and applying power where it will have the greatest effect. Yet, Rumelt shows that there has been a growing and unfortunate tendency to equate Mom-and-apple-pie values, fluffy packages of buzzwords, motivational slogans, and financial goals with “strategy.” In Good Strategy/Bad Strategy, he debunks these elements of “bad strategy” and awakens an understanding of the power of a “good strategy.” He introduces nine sources of power—ranging from using leverage to effectively focusing on growth—that are eye-opening yet pragmatic tools that can easily be put to work on Monday morning, and uses fascinating examples from business, nonprofit, and military affairs to bring its original and pragmatic ideas to life. The detailed examples range from Apple to General Motors, from the two Iraq wars to Afghanistan, from a small local market to Wal-Mart, from Nvidia to Silicon Graphics, from the Getty Trust to the Los Angeles Unified School District, from Cisco Systems to Paccar, and from Global Crossing to the 2007–08 financial crisis. Reflecting an astonishing grasp and integration of economics, finance, technology, history, and the brilliance and foibles of the human character, Good Strategy/Bad Strategy stems from Rumelt’s decades of digging beyond the superficial to address hard questions with honesty and integrity.

Scenario-based Strategic Planning by Burkhard Schwenker,Torsten Wulf Pdf

In a world characterized by increasing complexity and volatility, managers must be able to flexibly adapt their strategies to changing environmental conditions. Traditional strategic management frameworks often fail in this context. Therefore, we present "scenario-based strategic planning" as a framework for strategic management in an uncertain world. Previous approaches to scenario planning were complex and focused on the long term, but the approach developed by Roland Berger and the Center for Strategy and Scenario Planning at HHL Leipzig Graduate School of Management is different. By designing appropriate tools and integrating scenario planning into strategic planning, we have made our approach less complex and easier for firms to apply. We illustrate the approach with examples from different industries.
