Got a Good Strategy? Now Try to Implement It

[J. Antas]

"For nearly 30 years, Wharton management professor Lawrence G. Hrebiniak 
has taken the art of business strategy and put it under a microscope. 
Over time, he has brought one critical element into irrefutable focus: 
Creating strategy is easy, but implementing it is very difficult.

In his new book, Making Strategy Work: Leading Effective Execution and 
Change (Wharton School Publishing), Hrebiniak presents a comprehensive 
model to help business leaders bridge the gap between strategy making 
and successful strategy execution. He challenges executives to recognize 
that making strategy work is more difficult than setting a strategic 
course -- but also more important -- and he documents the obstacles that 
get in the way of successful performance."
