Description
About the Book
"One of the major problems facing business leaders today is how to reinvent their business to survive and excel. Yet, strategy innovations remain elusive to many, and there has yet to be a widely accepted theory on how to achieve the success of trendsetters such as Apple or Cirque du Soleil. Strategy by Design illustrates how to use many of the principles, processes, and tools of the design profession to create innovative breakthrough organizational strategies."--BOOK JACKET.Book Synopsis
This book provides, in one volume, primary sources by Marx and critical commentary which relates Marxism to contemporary social and political topics. It includes six brief works by Marx and ten articles by scholars, sympathetic to, but critical of, Marxism. For example, the author includes the classic essay by Heidi Hartmann which criticizes Marxism for misunderstanding gender oppression, "The Unhappy Marriage of Marxism and Feminism." No previous anthology of Marx has combined both brief works by Marx and multiple critical essays elaborating on his themes or engaging the shortcomings of his arguments.Review Quotes
"The process of strategy formulation has traditionally beenthe domain of the 'left brain' relying on data, logic, and analysis.This is only one-half of the story.We know that intuition, imagination and the holistic 'right-brained' comprehension of the situation play as important a role.Carlopio's Strategy by Design is a valuable balanced contribution to the literature on strategy." - Dr. Kenichi Ohmae, 'Mr Strategy' and author of The Mind of the Strategist and The Borderless World
"Strategic thinking is not the same as strategic design. But strategic design can - and should - reframe strategic thinking. Carlopio's emphasis on the tools, techniques and frameworks for design innovation not only enhances strategic thought but should help smooth the paths to innovative actions." - Michael Schrage, co-director of the MIT Media Lab's eMarkets Initiative
