Effectively communicating an organization's strategy is at the heart of achieving high performance.

This book explores each of these processes and provides case studies in the ways in which excellent organizations perform in each of these contexts. The essays focus on the what, when, where, and how aspects of excellence in communicating organizational strategy and explore effective practices in large organizations like Microsoft, medium-sized organizations like E-land, and small firms within the pharmaceutical industry.
