Summary: "This book is about the challenges that emerge for organizations from an ever faster changing world. While useful at their time, several management tools, including classic strategic planning processes, will no longer suffice to address these challenges in a timely and comprehensive fashion. While individual management tools are still valid to solve specific problems, they need to be employed based on a clear understanding what the greater challenge is and how they need to be combined and prioritized with other approaches. In order to do so, companies can apply the clarity of thinking from the military with regards to which leadership level is responsible for what and how these levels need to interact in order to produce a single, aligned response to an outside opportunity or threat. Finally, the tool of Business Wargaming, while known for some time, proves to be an ideal approach to quickly and effectively bring all leadership levels together, align them around an common objective and lay the groundwork for effective implementation of targeted responses that will keep the organization competitive and in the game for the long run. The book offers a comprehensive introduction to business wargaming, including a historical account, a classification of different types of games and a number of specific real world examples. This book is targeted at practicing managers dealing with the aforementioned challenges, as well as for students of business and strategy at every level"--
