Business strategy is appealing because it contains insights that promise to outsmart and outperform competitors, leading to a future that is better, brighter and more rewarding than the present. But where does good strategy start? In their forthcoming strategy book, Crystallising the strategic business landscape, Marius Ungerer and co-authors Gerard Ungerer and Johan Herholdt provide readers with a solid point of departure for conducting impactful, relevant and future based on sound theoretical foundations. The strategic business landscape is crystallised by viewing it from different vantage points to inform the development of strategic foresight, insight and cross-sight.
