Workplace Culture Editorial Review
Playing to Win: How Strategy Really Works is a timeless, business classic written by strategic experts. The authors' definition of strategy is an integrated set of choices that uniquely positions the firm in its industry so as to create sustainable advantage and superior value relative to the competition. The book was written in case study form, typical of a Harvard Business School approach. It looks at a number of key, well-known P&G products the authors strategized about, going through each strategy in detail, and showing you the myriad Considerations for each. The authors show you the strategic principles of exactly how they played and won big, techniques scalable from a giant company like Proctor and Gamble down to your own small business proprietorship. Highly recommended!
