Description
Designing World Class Corporate Strategies considers the key role of corporate centres within very large, primarily
multi-business organisations. At present, these corporate centres are under attack as not creating and value and merely adding cost to
their groups.
The authors have developed a corporate configurations model which demonstrates four ways in which corporate centres can
add significant value. However this requires the centre to act in specific ways depending on the external environment in which the group
is operating.
Designing World Class Corporate Strategies is highly readable, with a large number of illustrative examples
included in the text. Academic references and theoretical underpinnings are placed in the final chapter of the book, so that the book
is focused on the professional market for strategy and creating value.
Audience

business degrees. MBA courses and on any executive course on Strategy or Corporate leadership.
