Learning From Failed Strategies

Overview Success is transient, and sustained superior performance can be claimed by just a few companies. Strategy deals with achieving sustained superior performance with an integrated approach which cuts across functional domains and looks at the organization in a holistic sense. The proposition therefore is: what can one learn from the failures? Can smart managers frequently overlook the dangers lurking round the corner? What are the pitfalls to avoid? Can one develop the concept of avoiding failure? How can organizations overcome strategic equilibrium? The seminar would attempt to answer these questions.
