Strategic Planning and Management Control

"A much needed link between strategic planning and its control. In a clear writing style, Dr. Camillus combines rigor and practicality in a book that merits close reading by both businessmen and academics."

"Many planning books are unworkable because they are based on formulas where the system must include all of the parts. John Camillus changes that by providing an inventory of planning and control modules — each usable in its own right — each carrying an understanding that no company can use a strategic formula in total at any one time. In this regard the Camillus book becomes greater than the sum of its various parts. It is a tool that a manager can truly work with regardless of the state of his company's development."

Strategic Planning and Management Control
Systems for Survival and Success
John C. Camillus
This groundbreaking bool^ is the first to integrate strategic planning and management control in organizations. Dr. Camillus tal<es a close look at planning and control at both the strategic and operational levels. Using the latest developments in techniques and systems derived both from the literature and his own successful consulting practice, he provides the reader with a richer and more practical understanding of the design of planning systems. The book also shows the connections between other pairs of subjects that are usually treated in isolation: systems and techniques; strategy and operations; theory and practice; aspirations and actions; organizational structure and managerial style; and the academic outlook and the executive approach.
The book is written for the manager with strategic planning and/or general management responsibilities in freestanding, functionally organized businesses, strategic business units, and complex organizations. One chapter looks closely at the important and recently developed "value maximization" technique used for resource allocation to SBUs in conglomerate organizations. Another covers bottom-up strategies — working back from feasible actions and

resource analysis to develop comprehensive plans when managing strategic issues. The author also includes specific techniques and rules of thumb that translate theories into effective and simple managerial practices.
John C. Camillus is professor of business administration and associate dean of the Graduate School of Business, University of Pittsburgh. Vissza
