Some fight and lose while others fight but win. The difference is small but the impact is huge. Only winners witness the difference and the rest remain in blissful oblivion.

For the first time, this book, Demystify Strategy: Text and Cases, brings strategy into the purview of Indian understanding. No book that talks only of alien companies and foreign lifestyles has been able to capture the Indian market. The Indian consumer and markets are distinct and this book brings this distinctness to life with varied examples and a unique process, breaking down strategy into anatomical basics.

Strategy is much more than a plan or a set of stipulated actions; it is a thought that runs behind the operations of the company; a philosophy that gives form to the purpose of the company’s existence. Strategy is like a long-term guide that determines the course of the company towards something far more potent than success—sustainability.

The tone of the book and the easy presentation style along with illustrative examples make the once-dreaded mysteries of strategy appear small and undaunting. Strategy, after this, would be truly demystified.
