Strategy as Action: From Porter to Anti-Porter

چکیده

In the post-crisis era new concepts are emerging, while some old and dysfunctional ones are being discarded. Strategy is about making series of decisions that drive corporate action under specific coupling with company’s environment and context.

The role of customers is crucial: the customer shapes strategy and triggers corporate action. Without respecting the customer there is no viable strategy. This is why we label the action-based strategic thinking as „Anti-Porter“: consumers do not want tradeoffs and so truly effective strategy cannot be rooted in Porter’s tradeoffs.
