The Joy Killers - A business murder Mystery.6 Jul 2021

1. How Tech will revolutionize Retail, Why so many strategies fail. CEOs with unusual names pursue unusual strategies

This week we will look at an article from McKinsey & Co and two articles from the latest edition of the Harvard Business Review

Firstly the article from McKinsey

How Tech will revolutionize retail. McKinsey & Company. John Straw, a senior advisor to McKinsey based in London, a serial entrepreneur and technology expert.

In this McKinsey article John Straw is focused on larger corporations but there is much in what he says that is applicable to entrepreneurs and not only in the retail sector.

For our next topic we turn to the Harvard Business Review and an article from their latest magazine Why Do So Many Strategies Fail? By David J Collins an adjunct professor of business administration at Harvard Business School.

This is an excellent article that looks at strategy from both the perspective of the disruptor start up and also the incumbent needing to defend its business as it faces new competitors.

Finally an interesting topic, again from the latest edition of the Harvard Business Review

CEOs with unusual names pursue unusual strategies by Amy Meeker HBR.

Can it be true that your name can influence the strategies you implement as CEO? Professor David Zhu of Arizona State University thinks so, and he has the research to back up his claims.
