Review

'This timely collection of work on 'realizing strategy' showcases new research on strategy process. Many of the chapters integrate strategy content and process, greatly improving our understanding of the links between key aspects of strategy. The handbook leads the way toward promising new directions in research on strategy process, including longitudinal analyses and evolutionary dynamics and is essential reading for all strategic management scholars, consultants, and executives.'

Book Description

Despite voluminous research, managing the process through which leaders shape, implement, and change strategy remains ill understood. This volume provides an overarching framework to help cumulate the research on strategy process and define the contours of the field.The framework offered in the book provides a basis for the continuous refinement of the field's research agenda. It has been shared with strategy process researchers and practitioners at the Strategic Management Society's meetings and mini-conference on strategy process research. The book itself comprises nine papers written by North American and European scholars, and is clustered into four streams that follow from the framework:chapters that track strategy content longitudinallychapters that study the impact of important strategy process elements on performancechapters that study the links between a firm's context and process elementschapters that seek to study context/process/outcomesthe editors provide a commentary on the strengths and weaknesses of each stream
