<i>Strategy + Business</i> Magazine's Best Management Book
Re: Joseph L. Bower
From Resource Allocation to Strategy (Oxford University Press), coedited by Joseph L. Bower, Donald Kirk David Professor of Business Administration, has been named the best management book of 2006 by Strategy + Business magazine. The culmination of research Bower pioneered more than three decades ago, the book examines "how managers actually develop organizational strategy rather than how they ought to develop it." According to the reviewer, the glittering array of contributors to this volume "make a compelling case that executives can shape the bottom-up processes whereby strategies are defined and selected by making changes to the structure of the organization."
