This book argues that for many companies organisation is designed to achieve operational optimization and may be in conflict with strategic objectives. The role of top managers is to shape to a large extent the ability of the organisational system to implement and achieve strategic objectives.

This book argues that for many companies organisation is designed to achieve operational optimization and may be in conflict with strategic objectives. Managers may not share similar decision criteria and this may facilitate or hinder the fulfilment of certain strategies. The role of top managers is to shape to a large extent the ability of the organisational system to implement and achieve strategic objectives. This book provides breakthrough thinking on these issues by two leading academic thinkers.

CLAUDE MICHAUD is Professor of Economics at INSEAD, and Director General of CEDEP at Fontainebleau, France. He is a leading expert in designing management programmes for executive education. He and Jean-Claude Thoenig cover issues such as how companies may sustain development in hyper-competitive economies, and how headquarters as well as their CEOs should govern firms that are structured around business units. JEAN-CLAUDE THOENIG is Professor of Sociology of Organizations and former dean at INSEAD, Fontainebleau. He is also Senior Research Fellow at the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (GAPP-Ecole Normale Supérieure de Cachan), France.
