Innovating Strategy Processes

Innovating Strategy Processes explores the different, interconnected contexts and processes which produce successful business innovation. The chapters by international scholars in this volume are relevant both to practice and theory. Indeed, the chapters often depart from conventional academic thinking in both substance and method. Topics include: the dynamics of new value creation, managerial mindsets and activities in strategy process, play as the means and art as the impetus for strategy-making, the role of emotion in new venture decision-making, science and entrepreneurship as a source of innovative strategies, among many others. This book has something to offer each of the 3 main constituencies of strategic management. For the reflective executive there are new ideas and rich case descriptions: for consultants there are many new conceptual frameworks for analysing and designing strategy process: and, finally, academic students and researchers will relish the diversity and creativity the book brings to such core concerns as context, process and innovation in business.
