SynopsisHow to compete in the right space for greater profitability and growth The Internet, mobile technology, the ubiquity of information and the availability of big data have dramatically increased the speed and impact of success and failure., Praise for Compete Smarter, Not Harder "Dr. Putsis has made a valuable contribution to strategic thinking with Compete Smarter, Not Harder . He offers practical tools for helping your organization decide where and how to compete. These are the two critical elements of creating shareholder value: delivering what your customers really want and doing it better than your competition." MICHAEL H. THAMAN, Chairman of the Board and CEO, Owens Corning "In a practical guide for managers at all levels, Putsis explains that the key to success is in the prioritization of the right markets and the right customers. This book offers a detailed process for making the right business decisions to compete successfully in todays business environment." JOHN A. QUELCH, Charles Edward Wilson Professor of Business Administration, Harvard Business School "The root cause of business success is discipline, and that is especially true in strategy development. This book lays out a disciplined framework that will allow todays leaders to identify the difference between a temptation and a genuine opportunity this is the essence of winning and losing in a rapidly changing world." MICHAEL J. CAVE, Senior Vice President at the Boeing Company and President of Boeing Capital Corporation "In Compete Smarter, Not Harder , Bill Putsis advocates a level of focus that requires strategic use of information to set smart limits. To keep their organizations competitive, leaders need to know and sometimes embrace their markets limits through strategic prioritization. Smart leaders first apply analytics to explore the boundaries of their market to uncover new opportunities. Then they make fact-based decisions at every subsequent turn. Businesses that fail often do so, not because their leaders didnt work hard enough, but because they didnt carefully choose where to compete. This book delivers the principles and tools to navigate those choices." JIM DAVIS, Chief Marketing Officer, SAS, How to compete in the right space for greater profitability and growth The Internet, mobile technology, the ubiquity of information and the availability of big data have dramatically increased the speed and impact of success and failure.

Using cutting-edge academic research and extensive industry practice, author William Putsis outlines the strategic decisions needed to determine which space provides the best margins, overall profitability, and growth potential. Details a step-by-step process for strategic prioritization, from strategic market selection to the tactics of execution, providing competitive advantage across markets Written by Doctor William Putsis, a professor of marketing, economics, and business strategy at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, who has consulted and led executive development efforts with leading companies throughout the world Prioritize with conviction.
