Features: "There is no right to speak without investigation," and similarly, "There is no right to speak without consideration (analysis, audit)." Every strategy of any organization must necessarily be based on a thorough analysis and consideration of the organization itself. In other words, the primary task should be to gain an in-depth understanding of the organization's current strengths, weaknesses, and resource situation compared to its external operating environment. Ignoring this fundamental step may also lead to a strategy that appears quite aligned with the market and draw conclusions about the future environment, but such a strategy or assessment cannot be implemented because it is based on incorrect assumptions about the organization itself. Moreover, when you decide on mergers and acquisitions, restructuring, whether to diversify or specialize, and when making decisions in leadership positions, you will need to rely on the comprehensive set of corporate capability analysis, consideration, and audit concepts and tools provided in this book. The research findings of this book are based on the collection, organization, and study of case materials on organizational strategy, management functions, and core capability consideration from well-known domestic and international enterprises such as General Electric, IBM, Microsoft, DuPont, Procter & Gamble, Intel, HP, Nike, BASF, Dell, Cisco, Mary Kay, Ford, Xerox, Haier, Huawei, Lenovo, ZTE, TCL, Skyworth, and also from former successful enterprises such as Ito-Yokado, Wan Yan, Aide, Giant, San Zhu, Shenyang Feilong, etc. It is believed that this book can provide managers with valuable references.
