Optionality refers to the right, but not the obligation, to take a particular action. Built upon historic military tactics, static engineering principles, and equilibrium-seeking economics, conventional strategic thinking has certain weaknesses, notably its inability to cope with highly uncertain conditions.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTo address these challenges, this book begins by categorizing the business landscape into three distinct domains: fragile, robust, and long-shot (FRL). These domains serve as a reminder that strategy tools must be tailored to the specific context in which they are applied. The authors then argue that theoretical lenses are essential for understanding and implementing strategy in volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous (VUCA) domains.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn order to demonstrate the practical application of optionality, the authors explore the concept and methodology in depth. They show how optionality can be integrated with existing strategy tools to achieve competitive success. This book is of immense interest to academics and students of strategy and innovation, as it offers a fresh and insightful perspective on the art of strategic decision-making.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 397g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 210 x 148 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9783031173530\u003cbr\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eEdition number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1st ed. 2023\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Surja Datta,Tobias Kutzewski","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":44102740934906,"sku":"9783031173530","price":119.55,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/1675435483623_book.jpg?v=1676193177","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/strategic-optionality-pathways-through-disruptive-uncertainty-9783031173530","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
