ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

Good Strategy Bad Strategy by Richard Rumelt explores the critical differences between effective and ineffective strategies. The book delves into why many organizations fall prey to "bad strategy," characterized by fluff, a failure to confront challenges, the confusion of goals with strategy, and poorly defined objectives. Rumelt introduces the concept of the "kernel" of good strategy, consisting of a diagnosis, a guiding policy, and coherent action. Through various examples, the book examines the sources of power that underpin successful strategies, such as leverage, focus, and the understanding of dynamic changes. It emphasizes the importance of clear thinking, problem-solving, and adapting to evolving circumstances in crafting strategies that truly matter.
