Management Between Strategy and Finance

This book analyzes two opposing currents in business thinking: the tug of war between strategic and financial considerations. It dissects their differences and develops an approach that reconciles the two conflicting schools of thought.


Companies' decision-making and planning systems find themselves in a constant tug of war between strategic and financial considerations. The authors analyze these two opposing currents in business thinking, dissecting their differences and identifying their best practices. They also develop an approach that reconciles the two conflicting schools of thought without watering down their differences. Schwenker und Spremann argue that both strategic and financial perspectives can serve as a compass in management's decision-making processes: Which perspective to choose depends on the phase of business. The authors distinguish four phases in the company lifecycle phases in which the business must find the proper position, develop, grow and, ultimately, earn. In the first two phases, strategic considerations should take priority; in the latter two phases, financial considerations rule the day.

The key advantage of this book is that it provides a solid and well-argued overview of the two schools of thought, strategic and financial thinking Indicates a path through the conflict between financial and strategic thinking Written by a top-manager and a well-known scientist Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras
