Summary:

Planning Strategies That Work brings together twelve of the most influential articles on planning strategy that have appeared in M.I.T.'s Sloan Management Review. Arnoldo Hax recognizes that strategic planning deals with an extraordinarily rich array of disciplines and interests, and in putting this book together, he has attempted to provide an integrated perspective, covering the most critical issues and giving managers a clear sense of the breadth of the field. More important, he has selected topics that would most benefit a practicing manager. This action-oriented book addresses some of the most significant questions facing executives today.
