Abstract: | Perhaps the greatest strategist of all times was not a business executive but a general, Helmuth Moltke. The authors translate Moltke's example into business terms. According to Moltke, strategy is applied common sense and cannot be taught. The authors suggest the good entrepreneurs and managers are born with the qualities that make them successful. Chief executive officers and top managers can help by identifying and promoting such talents in their employees. The authors have created a questionnaire that helps measure strategic management competence. Managers and entrepreneurs take this test themselves, answering ten questions. Using the questionnaire, company management can evaluate managers being considered for promotion. |
