Why Some Organizations Consistently Outperform Others: Uncommon Sense, Common Nonsense
Abstract
This book is intended to act as a reminder to senior managers in today’s organizations to get back to the basics of common sense while deriving business strategies. The authors emphasize the fact that today the managers are lost in the abundance of business theories which are pumped into the organizations by many scholars in different context and economic conditions. When these theories are applied to the business without understanding the context which they are operating in, the managers tend to showcase fashionable business initiatives with no proportionate outcome.
