Über dieses E-Book

To strategically plan the future of a business, it is necessary to thoroughly understand the business and its position in the marketplace. This knowledge must be gathered through a comprehensive analysis of the organization, its suppliers, and customers. It is critical to review the tools and techniques that are available to develop a complete picture of the strength and value of a company and its internal interactions and relationships, together with the surrounding environment of competition and other factors that will enable planners to reliably assess the possibilities for the strategic direction for the organization. Insufficient attention is currently being given in business studies to achieve critical, useful information for the strategic development of an organization.

Critical Analysis and Architecture for Strategic Business Planning seeks to fill current gaps in business and operations research by highlighting the need for greater focus on the research and analysis required to obtain the right kind of information pertaining to the effective business development of an organization. This publication examines the literature for best practices for business research and analysis, which would lead to obtaining the most advantageous information for guiding business and organizations. Covering topics such as business planning, information systems, and competitive advantage, it is an essential resource for managers, business leaders, business strategists, consultants, students and educators of higher education, researchers, and academicians.
