Yet not all organisational accomplishment can be explained with recourse to deliberate choice and purposeful design on the part of strategic actors. This book shows why. Using examples from the world of business, economics, military strategy, politics and philosophy, it argues that collective success may inadvertently emerge as a result of the everyday coping actions of a multitude of individuals, none of whom intended to contribute to any preconceived plan. A consequence of this claim is that a paradox exists in strategic interventions, one that no strategist can afford to ignore. The more directly and deliberately a strategic goal is single-mindedly sought, the more likely it is that such calculated instrumental action eventually works to undermine its own initial success"--Provided by publisher. 000428684 650_0 $$aStrategic planning$$xSocial aspects. 000428684 650_0 $$aPlanning$$xSocial aspects. 000428684 650_0 $$aStrategy (Philosophy) 000428684 655_0 $$aElectronic books. 000428684 7001_ $$aHolt, Robin,$$d1966- 000428684 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aChia, Robert C.
