,PURPOSE AND PERSPECTIVE OF THE CHAPTER
This chapter is an introductory chapter. Its purpose is to define critical concepts and introduce the main
components of the strategic leadership and management process. This chapter serves to establish the
context within which subsequent chapters fit.
Chapter 1 begins with a discussion of the concept of strategy. The strategies an organization pursues have
a major impact upon its performance relative to its peers. The firm’s top managers have direct
responsibility for choosing strategies that will lead to superior performance and provide competitive
advantage.
Next, the chapter equates superior performance with profitability for profit-seeking enterprises. Sustained
competitive advantage occurs when a firm is able to maintain above-average profitability over an
extended period of time. Strategic management is just as crucial to nonprofits as it is to profit-seeking
businesses. Much of this book is about identifying and describing the strategies that managers can pursue
to achieve superior performance and provide their company with a competitive advantage. The book will
provide a thorough understanding of the business model analytical techniques and skills necessary to
identify and implement strategies successfully.
