Seven Volumes of Strategic Correspondence
A selective index of past issues. Complete archival access is extended to subscribers of record; the following is a representative listing.
The Concentration Issue
On customer concentration, supplier concentration, and the concentration of authority in closely-held firms. Six features, two archival reprints, and a long correspondence on the ethics of disclosure.
192 pp.Working Capital, Reconsidered
A double issue on the arithmetic that quietly separates durable mid-market firms from their peers. Features from three operators and an unusually candid exchange between a lender and a borrower.
224 pp.On Successors
The transition issue. Four case studies, a theoretical piece on governance continuity, and an archival reprint of a 1974 lecture on the duties of the outgoing chief executive.
168 pp.The Plan That Survives Contact
An inquiry into why most annual plans fail in the first quarter, and what the surviving ones have in common. The opening feature of our most-requested issue.
176 pp.Doctrine & Discretion
On the relationship between written investment policy and managerial judgment. Contributions from five operating partners and a notable dissent in the correspondence.
184 pp.The Middle Market
Who we mean when we say it, why it is underserved by the strategic literature, and what the next decade is likely to require of the firms within it.
160 pp.Prior volumes (I–V) are maintained in the subscriber archive. Requests for specific issues are considered through existing subscriber relationships.
