This volume brings together 12 outstanding articles from "Long Range Planning - The International Journal of Strategic Management" dealing with different aspects of the complex process of managing strategic change. Among the issues covered are the development of strategic vision and the creation of a sense of mission, the importance of corporate culture, the role of leadership and the factors affecting successful implementation of new strategies. Case histories are given describing the experiences of companies such as Volvo, Ciba-Geigy, and BP in their effort to become 'higher performance organisations' by the strategic management of change. This is a very timely work, focusing on the major challenges facing management today.
Reviews
D.E. Hussey This is the first volume of a second series of The Best of Long Range Planning (the first ran to 12 volumes). There is a real improvement in format...the publishers are using a book-sized format which offers more utility to the reader. They fit easily into a bookshelf, and this volume contains an index to the selection from the back issues of the journal... For those who do not regularly read the journal, the book offers high quality, fairly recent articles, written by high-calibre authors, that they might otherwise never have seen and which should provoke thought about the management of strategy and change.
