Recenzje

'Puranam and Vanneste have provided a thought-provoking articulation of the key aspects of a strong corporate strategy. What is particularly remarkable is the analytical breakdown of topics that can sometimes be discussed in vague terms. Well worth the read for any practicing strategy executive.' Vishal Dixit, Head of Group Strategy at a FTSE-100 telecoms operator, and former McKinsey management consultant
