Features: Everyone knows how to change economic tactics, and every company copies business strategies, but only organizations with execution capabilities can create real business value. This is the necessary condition for the sustainable survival and success of a business. "Implementing business execution to create sustainable value" is not just another hot topic; in fact, it is a time-tested key to business success. For an organization to create business value and achieve team profits, it must rely on concrete actions of execution! However, having execution alone is not enough; it must be paired with a well-designed execution-oriented organization. What is an execution-oriented organization? How should you seize the right moment to connect business strategies with organizational structure? The book "Execution-Oriented Organization" combines decades of interdisciplinary research, as well as case studies from market leaders like General Electric, IBM, Honda, McDonald's, Kodak, and Walmart, to propose the most thorough organizational structure design principles of today. This book teaches you to use the method of "organizational structure design = decision-making authority allocation + performance evaluation + reward system"; it tells you how to measure organizational performance and the implementation of reward systems, and how decision-making authority allocation, the creation and mastery of value pursuit, influence the overall strategy direction and planning of the company. More precisely, this comprehensive book does not focus on a single aspect or strategy but provides a detailed introduction to all the key factors that affect the execution of action, especially the role of organizational structure in value creation. These include:
· Empirical strategies for effectively disseminating organizational knowledge throughout the company.
· The decentralization of organizational authority and the necessity of implementing appropriate supervision and checks and balances.
· The importance of allocating decision-making authority, performance evaluation, and reward systems as a tripartite structure in designing an execution-oriented organization.
· The critical and closely integrated role of innovation, strategy, and vitality leadership within the organization.
Whether you are in a large enterprise, a small company, a for-profit or non-profit organization, a senior management team responsible for decision-making, or a frontline supervisor leading a project team, you can draw inspiration from the author's vivid case studies and learn the principles and methods of designing an execution-oriented organization. By implementing decisions into action, unleashing the power of execution, and leveraging practical and reasonable methods, you can create unique value for every level and every link within the organization.
