Book Description
Successful business alliances today are critical to the competitive advantage of many companies. Mastering Alliance Strategy presents state-of-the-art thinking and practices for using partnerships effectively. This essential resource will help you understand and use alliances better, whether you are a new or seasoned alliance professional, a business-development specialist, a line manager, or a top executive. The authors argue that the secrets to success lie not solely in the intricacies of a deal but also in the strategy and organization behind the deal. They draw ideas and tools from years of research and reporting on four elements that are key to an effective alliance strategy:
- Designing the alliance and crafting the agreement
- Managing the alliance after it is launched
- Leveraging a constellation of alliances
- Building an internal alliance capability

Inject Risk into Business Relations for Higher Return.......2003-12-01
James D. Bamford, Benjamin Gomes-Casseres and Michael J. Robinson have put together an interesting collection of essays about the life cycle of alliances and the people in charge of these alliances. Rightly, the authors emphasize alliance strategy rather than strategic alliance. The essays are grouped around four themes: designing alliances, managing alliances, competing in constellations and building an alliance capability. Practitioners can reflect on their own alliances to see what they eventually can do better to further improve their performance in each of the four areas. The authors close their treatise by looking at some master builders. The authors correctly point out that there is no one solution for all. What works in one company can fail in another. Corporate culture plays a key role in making difficult to successfully borrow alliance best practices from other companies for another organization usage. As a side note, "Building, Leading and Managing Strategic Alliances" by Fred A. Kuglin is a good complement to the topics covered in "Mastering Alliance Strategy."

Customer Reviews:
very useful and interesting to read.......2007-04-18
I have found especially helpful the "7 building blocks", and "Tools" sections that have provided in a detailed format a framework and ideas to work with. The only negative part about this book is that the author overuses the example of Israel-Palestinian security talks. Examples from various disciplines and areas would improve and shape authors ideas much better by providing different perspectives.
Insightful!.......2001-05-25
Robert Hargrove presents a well-organized look at the world of creative collaboration. He argues that collaboration is the new paradigm in a world of change and complexity, as well as an effective management strategy. Hargrove provides a hands-on guide to becoming more collaborative and to organizing effective collaborative groups. In this lively, engaging book, Hargrove shows his familiarity with the latest management expertise. He draws on quotes and ideas from such authors as Margaret Wheatley, Peter Senge and Tom Peters. We [...] recommend this book to executives and managers who wish to facilitate collaborations.
One of the best business books of the decade! Tom Peters.......1998-12-18
I read Robert Hargrove's book on Masterful Coaching which focused on the individual, and prayed he would write one on collaboration. Not your cookie cutter approach to business books . .
Great stories about how creative collaboration can lead to radical innovation in any business, political breakthroughs in the Middle East, transforming your local school system.
Our elected representatives in Washington could learn alot from the simple, powerful how to principles and techniques offered here!
Fantastic book!.......1998-12-04
I was really inspired by this book and would highly recommend it to anyone who has dreams of creating something with others who may see the world differently. Hargrove paints a picture of what collaboration is that is very distinct and that is brought to life with some facinating examples--what he calls interludes. I especially liked the one on the Mid East Peace Accord and found it relevant to what is happening there now. Hargrove's guidelines for building a collaboration and for having collaborative conversations have been a lifesaver in the project that I am working on. They make a lot of sense and have been easy to apply. I can see why so many of the teams that I have worked on were not as successful as I would have liked. Thank you for a wonderful book that is fun to read and loaded with useful tools!
The book promises more than it delivers.......1998-10-13
Robert Hargrove, Mastering the Art of Creative Collaboration, McGraw-Hill, 1998.
This book promises more than it delivers. Hargrove presents collaboration as some sort of breakthrough process when it is nothing more than a diverse group of motivated and creative people coming together to do something great. Sounds like teamwork to me but Hargrove dismisses that argument by telling us that "while all collaborations involve teamwork, not all teams are collaborative." "Most teams," he says, "are focused on routine work and doing the same thing better," while "...successful collaborative groups are made up of strange brews, of nascent combinations of people. Most teams, even multidisciplinary teams, tend to be fairly homogeneous."
The last time I looked "homogeneous" is not a word anyone would use to define a multidisciplinary team. And most teams, especially multidisciplinary teams, are not focused on "routine work." They are designing a new telecommunications systems, researching the next cure for cancer, developing an enhanced systems architecture, designing the layout for the factory of the future and understanding the planet of Mars---the very example cited by Hargrove. Hargrove dismisses teamwork but then goes on to present numerous examples of successful teams which he now calls collaborations.
Hargrove borrowed John Nasbit's research methodology of drawing a conclusion and then lining up a series of quotes from newspaper and magazine articles that report wonderful examples of successful teamwork (pardon me, I mean collaboration). In addition, there is not one quote or example that shows a failed attempt at collaboration. All of us learn from mistakes.
Let's assume you don't care about these points, you just want to know how to make teamwork or collaboration or whatever it's called, work in your organization. If you're looking for some great new insights, you won't find them here. But you will find two different lists that both seem to be saying the same old things with a few new age phrases. Hargrove's "recipe for creative collaboration"(pp. 33-38) includes such things as make a declaration of impossibility (which is nothing more than a broad goal), bring extraordinary combinations of people together, build a shared understood goal, do a "what's so" (just a factual analysis of the desired and current state) and identify what missing.
Then, later on, Hargrove presents "The Seven Building Blocks of Collaboration (p. 92). Once again, he talks about bringing together the right people, developing a shared goal, clarifying roles, lots of communication and lots of enthusiasm. This is good stuff, but we heard it all before in the literature of teamwork. And then there is the chapter on collaboration tools which is nothing more than warmed over tips from your favorite books on facilitation, meetings, management, conflict resolution and group dynamics.
A key ingredient that is missing from this formulation is the failure to address the issue of the environment for collaboration. Successful collaboration is more the result of a supportive culture, a flexible structure and encouraging systems and less about good facilitation skills and plenty of whiteboards. Most team failure comes from lack of support from the leadership of the organization, cultural norms that nurture competitive or selfish behavior and systems that do not reward team players.
Having dismissed teamwork allowed Hargrove to skip over a body of work that would have helped him understand these issues more completely. For example, Warren Bennis' Organizing Genius: The Secrets of Creative Collaboration, presents six case studies of "Great Groups," Lipnack and Stamps' books, The TeamNet Factor, The Age of the Network and, most recently, Virtual Teams, all address collaboration across traditional boundaries, Designing Team-Based Organizations by Susan Mohrman, Susan Cohen and Allan Mohrman shows that it takes fundamental changes in the design and practices of organizations and my book, Cross-Functional Teams: Working With Allies, Enemies and Other Strangers, outlines specific strategies for developing and implementing successful "multidisciplinary" teams. This book was a selection of a book club of senior organizational development professionals who meet regularly to discuss new books. The group had high hopes for the book, but we were generally disappointed.
Customer Reviews:
Bravo!.......2004-03-26
Editors at Financial Times (FT) co-authored this volume, with Tim Dickson serving as executive editor . It offers "The Complete MBA Companion in Strategy," the result of FT's strategic alliance with the University of Chicago Business School, INSEAD, the University of Michigan Business School, and the Said Business School at Oxford University. This is the seventh volume in what is identified as "The Financial Times Mastering" series. It contains articles that first appeared in FT in late-1999.
The material is carefully organized within 16 chapters. In the first, there are two essays: "Strategy and the delusion of Grand Designs" authored by John Kay, Director of london Economics; the second -- "Strategy, blind men and the elephant" was co-authored by Henry Mintzberg of McGill University and INSEAD, Bruce Ahlstrand of Trent University (Ontario), and Joseph Lampel of the University of Nottingham Business School.
As for the final chapter, "Fresh Challenges for the Future," it was written by Dan Schendel, founding and current editor the Strategic Management Journal. The reader is advised that "This final module sums up the main themes of the book, addresses some of the current controversies, and offers pointers on how the field may develop in coming years. The core message is that those who fail to keep up with the best in strategic management risk losing their businesses and losing their jobs. The cases of failure cited throughout the book underline the point." My own crystal ball imploded long ago so I now cut Schendel considerable slack, given the fact that his comments on "fresh challenges" were composed five years ago. In fact, I think his analysis holds up remarkably well.
Although exceptionally well-written and skillfully-edited, this volume is by no means an "easy read." My own opinion is that it will be of greatest interest and benefit to the more capable students enrolled in graduate schools of business, and, to senior-level executives. Of course, the immediate value of each chapter will be largely determined by the immediate needs and interests of each reader. I would be remiss if I failed to acknowledge the superb graphics provided by Graham Parish. I also want to commend, again, Tim Dickson and his associates -- notably Ken Pottinger, James Pickford, Laura Scanga, and various school "co-ordinators" -- for pulling together so much excellent material, then getting it all properly presented. Bravo!
Great Collection of Strategy Articles.......2002-12-25
This is a great collection of articles covering all aspects of business strategy. Prior knowledge about the subject matter, though is not necessary, will help you appreciate the material more. I strongly recommend this book to those people interested in building a thorough understanding of strategy.
Broad spectrum with excellent quality.......2001-11-23
'Mastering Strategy' consists of essays with consistently excellent quality, & covers a broad spectrum of strategy topics. It offers readers with perspectives on various dimensions of strategy, including: social impact, historical development, academic interest, operational issues etc. All essays are concise & good selection of further readings are included at the end of each essay, in order to guide readers for further investigation.
An easy way to update your strategy knowledge.......2001-05-08
The book presents an excellent companion of the top issues involving strategy today. The book is structured according to global themes, like strategy and economics, strategy and leadership, and so on. Each chapter has 4 or 5 articles related, written by authors from important business schools. Issues like game theory and commitments are deeply reviewed, but in a simple way, easy to understand, thus allowing anyone with no MBA to understand it. The book offers an easy way to update your strategy knowledge, if your are interested in business strategy.
Book Description
Up-to-the-minute examples of market-leading companiesand strategistsin action
Strategy that is both creative and pragmatic is today's number one competitive edge. It has been the driving force behind the success of firms, such as McDonald's and Microsoft, and executives like Sam Walton and Jack Welch. Mastering Strategy examines best practices and examples from these and other companies, CEOs, and academics, and details how executives can benchmark them to overcome new questions and problems in today's harder-faster-smarter world.
From achieving market leadership to managing change, today's business leaders must not only stay atop the latest trends, but also understand and improve the core issues that drive their organizations. By distilling scores of resources into one powerful volume, authors Jeffrey Rigsby and Guy Greco have produced a guidebook for creating new and exciting corporate strategy. Examples include:
- Strategies of corporations such as Nike and Proctor & Gamble
- Insights of CEOs from Bill Hewlett to Ray Kroc
- Wisdom of thought leaders from Warren Bennis to Robert Kaplan
Customer Reviews:
Highly Recommended.......2004-09-08
Mastering Strategy provides a way for executives and managers, who have expertise in other fields, to think about organizational design and strategy. The "template" is logical and organizes the complex organizational setting into a group of manageable categories for the purposes of planning, organizing, allocating resources, and evaluating.
Mastering Strategy deals with the fundamentals that are essential to moving an organization forward regardless of the other tools and models that may be applied along the way.
If an executive or manager needs a fundamental framework to think about strategy or wants a tool to further the strategic efforts in an organization, Mastering Strategy is a good place to start.
Mastering Strategy an Answer to Textbook Selection Problem.......2004-02-10
After using a typical, traditional text for my grad class in Management and Strategy, I discovered Managing Strategy in Amazon. The book was an immediate hit with my students because of the way it distills concepts of strategy as presented in the typical textbook and relates them to the real world of organizations in a practical and readable fashion. I would highly recommend this work to students, faculty, and managers alike. The price is unbeatable and the buyer will have a source which can be used continually in the workplace. Perhaps this books sets a precedent for texts (although it is not the usual text) in other related fields. I would like to see such a format for organizational behavior and for leadership as well.

Strategic Process that Works.......2003-07-29
Mastering Strategy by Rigsby and Greco is a truly exceptional piece, which nicely blends academic thought with actionable lessons. The authors manage to superbly tie in insights from some of the world's greatest leaders and make it relevant to any industry or discipline. By managing to coalesce theories and strategies of the finest minds, they proffer forth an Organization Dynamic Model that organizes diverse and specialized disciplines into a workable and understandable framework. Read it, understand it, and most importantly, learn from it. A definite must read for anyone even cursorily involved in strategy formulation or strategic execution.
Great strategy model.......2003-05-29
This book does a great job of synthesizing the current state of business strategy thinking and introducing a model for practical application. I am using it in my business and having great success.
A Strategic Planner's Dream.......2003-03-08
At last - a straight-forward, practical book on a subject so vitally important in today's challenging business environment. For over 25years, I have been actively engaged in strategic planning, both as a business owner and a consultant and have read countless books on the subject. MASTERING STRATEGY is the most comprehensive and, at the same time, readable of them all. Rigsby and Greco have done a masterful job of identifying the best practices of the world's most successful companies, relating their performance to specific strategic success factors, and developing a strategic planning model based on their research. Moreover, they have tested their ideas in the glaring light of the marketplace through their consulting practices and, in so doing, have demonstrated the efficacy of their model. I strongly recommend this book to anyone in a position of responsibility - or aiming for such a position - in any business, whether small, large or gigantic, as well as to consultants whose focus is on helping their corporate clients improve profitability. Your money and your time will be well invested!

Book Description
In Mastering the Dynamics of Innovation, Utterback presents a compelling book at how innovation transforms industries, raising the fortunes of some firms while destroying others. The book draws on the rich history of innovation by inventors and entrepreneurs-ranging from the birth of typewriters to the emergence of personal computer, gas lamps to fluorescent lighting, George Eastman's amateur photography to electronic imaging-to develop a practical model for how innovation enters an industry, how mainstream firms typically respond, and how-over time-new and old players wrestle for dominance.

Technological Change: Peril or Opportunity?.......2000-08-30
Utterback explains "how companies can seize opportunities in the face of technological change." There are dozens (hundreds?) of other books on the same subject, notably those written by Geoffrey A. Moore. I rate this book so highly because it is exceptionally well-organized and well-written, because it examines several offbeat subjects (eg the development of the typewriter and the evolution of the typewriter industry, the development of the incandescent electric light), and because Utterback focuses so intensely -- and so effectively -- on real-world situations in which the "dynamics of innovation" are manifest. This book is very informative but also great fun to read. (Those who enjoy it as much as I did are urged to read both The History of Invention and The Lever of Riches.) Chapter 4 revisits the the dynamics of the innovation model (Figure 1-1) and then in Chapter 5, Utterback shifts his attention to developments within the plate glass manufacturing industry. In Chapter 6, he examines the innovation differences between assembled and nonassembled products. Subsequent chapters sustain the discussion of "the power of innovation in the creation of an industry" and then, in Chapter 9, Utterback "draws together some of the lessons of earlier chapters and academic research to consider the relationship between the behaviors and strategies of firms with respect to technological innovation and long-term survival." He concludes his book (in Chapter 10) by addressing "the perennial management issue of how corporations can renew their technology, products, and processes as a basis for continued competitive vitality." It is obvious to all of us that even the strongest product and business strategy will eventually be overturned by technological change. Ours is an age in which change is the only constant. Therefore, as Utterbach explains so carefully and so eloquently, the challenge is to accept the inevitability of change which results from technological innovation ("discontinuities") and to sustain a commitment to cope effectively with such change. Only such a commitment "will win the day."
Untangles the Web of Confustion Surrounding Innovation.......2000-04-19
Utterback does a superb job of providing real world examples of how innovation can change the landscape of your business. The book provides a clear understanding of the life cycle of innovation and the behaviors within a firm as they migrate from a focus on product innovation to a focus on process innovation.
The book provides a guide that can be applied to any industry, any product in any time. It gives the reader the ability to identify what phase of innovation their company is in and helps them predict how other companies are behaving today and how they might behave in the future in the face of direct competitive challenges.
The book also clearly demonstrates that innovation that can wipe you out will seldom come from the "Usual Suspects". Not those you see at your direct competitors, but from those companies that see the weaknesses and deficiencies in your products and redefine how they could be overcome with new technology.
I found this book to be a perfect balance of academic principles and cold hard business reality. A very enjoyable read that has provided me with yet another valuable tool to use in developing strategies to defend existing markets and tapping into new.
It focuses on how management must think about new innovations in technology and processes. Ultimately to survive they must not shrink away from a technological threat, but face it head on.
Most companies defend their position by intensely focusing on how to make their existing product, better, cheaper and faster. Ultimately they realize that as shinny, beautiful and cheap as they have made their latest buggy whip, their customer has lost interest in the face of some new technology.
Cheaper, faster, better, smarter will only keep your doors open for so long and microscopically staring down on both your customers needs and your products attributes, may leave you standing outside looking in.
Great read!
A worthwhile and important study on how corporations die........1996-09-22
I found Mr. Utterback's book to be an excellent book on the reasons for the inability of existing corporations to make the needed rapid adoption of changes necessary to compete in a world of punctuated technological changes.
I found his editors lacking in their permitting too many academic attitudes filter through to the final version. Too many refereneces to "Utterback, our and my". Tiresome and pedantic in places.
All in all an excellent peice of work though. Glad to have read it and I will undoubtedly read it again.
Congratulations Mr. Utterback on an important piece of work.
