Finally, THE definitive book on how Strategic Planning has been “Reinvented” to become Strategic Management.

Read the research results of 27 different authors and experts and learn why Strategic Planning has been transformed into a “living, breathing” process and the new field of Strategic Management.

Learn the #1 absolute for implementation success: a Strategic Change Leadership Team.
