Popis: In the Autumn 2004 issue of Business Strategy Review we published one of the final articles by Sumantra Ghoshal. With characteristic intellectual brio, Ghoshal and his co-author Heike Bruch argue that effective execution lies at the heart of achieving superior business performance and that purposeful action-taking by managers — both individually and collectively — lies at the heart of effective execution. The trouble is that five years of research by Ghoshal and Bruch showed that only a relatively small proportion of managers actually engage in such purposeful action-taking. What are the causes of this pervasive lack of purposeful action-taking by managers? What is different about those who do take purposeful action? What can managers do to enhance their personal actiontaking ability? And what can corporate leaders do to create an organisational context in which others can take purposeful action?
