This book argues that for many companies organisation is designed to achieve operational optimization and may be in conflict with strategic objectives.

The role of top managers is to shape to a large extent the ability of the organisational system to implement and achieve strategic objectives. This book provides breakthrough thinking on these issues by two leading academic thinkers.
