. part 1 focuses on the strategic plan, as master plan of the enterprise
. part 2 covers the management functions whose able execution makes the difference between success and failure: forecasting, planning, organizing, staffing, directing, and controlling
. part 3 demonstrates that modern accounting rules, promoted by IFRS and US GAAP, not only assist in strategic financial planning but also provide a solid basis for management supervision and control
. part 4 brings your attention the fact that costs matter. Strategic business plans that pay little or no attention to cost factors are doomed
part 5 addresses the issues associated with strategic products and markets. These range from research and development to market research, product planning, the able management of marketing functions, and sales effectiveness
. part 6 concludes the book with an emphasis on mergers, acquisitions, and consolidations and the risks associated with an MA policy
