Breakthrough to Literacy

Perception is everything... Losing his way in Farnwaar Forest, Ranger Taro Brook stumbles upon a startling discovery… Unaware of the imminent threat of hooded riders approaching his settlement, Morusk begins to suspect that things may not be all they seem... In the sparkling city of Craton, Procrastinator Vardoger is about to be presented with his greatest dilemma to date … And in the land of Enntonia, Token ScriptScratcher, the Scribe of Bog-Mire Towers, fears the impending return of a dark menace he had hoped would stay forever banished... Stranded in unfamiliar surroundings, where the concept of time appears to hold no relevance, Taro Brook reluctantly accepts assistance from the Drifter Sanna Vrai; a woman with the ability to navigate between worlds, and Messenger Two Cups; a chattering individual with an insatiable tea addiction. As events unfold, Brook suspects there may be more to the Messenger’s claims than he was first willing to concede. In his efforts to return to normality, Taro Brook finds himself faced with a daunting prospect… Reality may be nothing more than an illusion.

What does strategy mean to a Head of Ethics, Sustainability, and Governance in a globally-leading asset management company in London? How does the Chair of a not-for-profit community interest company, which supports women in Scotland to thrive in business, use learning to shape strategy? How is innovation, digitalization, and disruption viewed by the CEO of a Singaporean fintech start-up? Strategy: Theory, Practice, Implementation represents a new breed of textbook for this discipline. Developed in consultation with lecturers, students, and professionals, the book's research-driven Process-Practice Model of Strategy places implementation at its core, enabling students to develop a crystal clear understanding of how strategy operates in a culture of dynamism, adaptability, and change. The authors' wealth of teaching, research, and practitioner experience shines through in their writing as they strike the perfect balance between clarity and rigour. They expertly cover all the core areas of strategy, using carefully paced, step-by-step guidance to apply theories and models of strategy to a diverse range of examples, making the text the most practical of its kind. Moving beyond the limits of traditional texts, Strategy offers unique Practitioner Insights (and accompanying video interviews) gathered from professionals engaged in a range of strategic roles, across multiple industries and sectors worldwide, to help students grasp the complex reality of strategic management in practice. Strategy: Theory, Practice, Implementation ultimately provides students with a lively, critical, and highly practical approach to thinking, talking, and acting like a strategist. This text will inspire them and fully prepare them for their future career in business.
