Kenichi Ohmae, a renowned Japanese consultant and author, examines the "mind of the strategist" in the business world, particularly within the context of Japanese companies. Ohmae argues that successful strategies focus more on the substance of strategic planning than on its form, emphasizing the generation of a real competitive edge rather than just covering the formalities of strategy exercises. He explores various strategic approaches, including focusing on key factors for success, pursuing aggressive initiatives, and exploiting strategic degrees of freedom. The author further analyzes the changing business environment and the impact of globalization, highlighting the importance of adapting to a new economic order and adopting a more human-centric approach to corporate management.
