Editorial Reviews

Product Description
Authored by Dr. Mark L. Frigo and Joel Litman. DRIVEN: If we can better understand how the success or failure of a business is driven by its plans and actions, then we can greatly improve how we run our businesses and value companies. DRIVEN is about RETURN DRIVEN STRATEGY, a framework for business analysis and planning prioritization and the culmination of a ten-year research project studying and categorizing the root causes of thousands of businesses that have succeeded, failed, or remained in mediocrity. The underlying research covers up to 30 or more years of firm performance. DRIVEN includes explanations, diagnostics, and case studies. Chapters are ordered consistently with the Return Driven Strategy framework, making DRIVEN a valuable guide for ongoing reference as well as an interesting and enlightening read.

5.0 out of 5 stars must read for anyone interested in strategy and value creation, February 8, 2008
Since I have been exposed to the thinking of the Return Driven Strategy, I am actively using this approach as planning and analysis tool for business and personal matters. This structured, holistic and easy to grasp approach has offered me important insights on many of my case assignments at one of the top consultancies in the world. The book DRIVEN offers an amazing insight to this thinking. It's a must read for anyone interested in strategy and value creation. In addition, the included case studies give a great indication of the importance of following the Return Driven Strategy.
