This audiobook was created
based on Michael Porter’s landmark book Competitive Strategy. This was
Mr. Porter’s synopsis of his book for the Harvard Business Review. This
audiobook emphasizes that operational effectiveness is not strategy, that
strategy rests on unique activities done by the organization, strategic
positioning, the entrepreneurial edge, generic and specific strategies, that
sustainable strategic positions require tradeoffs, that proper fit drives both
competitive advantage and sustainability, rediscovering focused strategies, the
failure of blurred and straddled strategies, the growth trap, that profitable
growth is often niche oriented, the role of leadership in creating and
maintaining clear strategies, and that the new entrant and new company
advantage is executing clear strategies.
