1. The essence of strategy: key components -- 2. Some traditional strategy typologies -- 3. 30 Ps for perspectives on strategy: toward strategic-style flexibility -- 4. The strategy forest -- 5. Where there's a will, there's a way: all-powerful optimists -- 6. The entrepreneur deliberates, the market decides: cautious optimists -- 7. That's the way we see it, that's the way we do it: framed rationality -- 8. Everything flows: interactive players -- 9. The second atlas of the forest -- 10. Gusts at the top of the Pico Paradox.
Summary: "In his influential work, Strategy Safari, Henry Mintzberg and his colleagues presented ten schools of strategic thought. In this impressive book, Dany Jacobs demonstrates that the real world of strategic management is much wider and richer. In Mapping Strategic Diversity, Jacobs distinguishes between 'cockpit theories' of strategy, which bring rational analysis to the forefront, and process-oriented social science approaches, which bring in a wider array of influences to the theory and practice of business planning. Presenting 22 different approaches to strategy making, this book: provides a comprehensive overview of the field, guides the reader in developing theoretical and practical skills, helps develop both high and low level strategic thinking ."--Publisher's website.
