Much of the existing literature on organizational management tends to oversimplify the issue, distilling the occupation down to a handful of principles. But how many managers feel as though their daily work is that simple and straightforward? If you want a more detailed perspective on management in the midst of complex and turbulent environments, then this is the guide for you.
In it, Wael Rushdi Khalil, PhD, brings his twenty-five years' experience in business strategy formulation and implementation, as well as his extensive research, to help managers and leaders optimize their approach for success. He illustrates conceptual frameworks from a dynamic, strategic perspective that encompass a structured set of valuable principles and sub-elements. The presented examples and data are based on his research on the construction industry in Qatar, with Grade A companies and their managers who were engaged at the strategic level. It is an exploratory study, both quantitative and qualitative in approach, which illuminates comprehensive solutions that allow managers and practitioners to lead their organizations and firms through uncertain situations and complex environments to greater success!
