Meet Justin Campbell. He's a newly minted MBA who's arrived a coveted job in consulting. He's going to Chicago to provide HGS, a large consumer with an intriguing new technology its professionals haven't yet made the decision how to exploit. Constrained by a short timeline and limited information, Justin and his team use state-of-the-art strategy tools to investigate various possibilities. Justin is energized by this challenging assignment, but soon confirms the application of his strategy toolkit isn't as simple as he'd expected. The politics and organizational causes swirling within HGS complicate his analyses and test his important knowledge of important strategic concepts. Justin and his cohorts aren't "real" - What I Didn't Learn in Business University is a company novel. But they're sensible: they're exactly like us. They are really humans, not human resources, plus they each have their own personality, motives, and skills. Their storyline reveals both the advantages and the limitations of common strategy tools. And it shows strategies for navigating the messy organizational dynamics that can make or break a company's efforts to build successful strategies. This engaging audiobook uses the power of story to present potent lessons for anyone seeking to master strategy management. The action moves quickly, and at the end of each chapter, you will discover provocative questions that help you tease out vital insights that you can apply within your own work. What I Didn't Learn in Business University is a persuasive listen - whether you're a recent business school grad struggling to use your brand-new knowledge or an experienced head who already is aware that no strategy is created in vacuum pressure.
