توضیحاتی در مورد کتاب تجزیه و تحلیل تجاری و رقابتی: استفاده موثر از روشهای جدید و کلاسیک (شومیز)

"من معتقدم که این کتاب نیاز زیادی را هم برای متخصصان هوش رقابتی تمام وقت و هم برای کسانی که به دنبال اضافه کردن مهارت های تحلیلی به مجموعه ابزار مدیریتی خود هستند، برطرف می کند." تصمیم گیرندگان تجاری باید از فلیشر و بنسوسان سپاسگزار باشند که به آنها نشان می دهند چگونه کار تجزیه و تحلیل آنها می تواند دقیق تر شود و رویکرد آنها کمتر معمولی باشد. تقلید را قبول نکنید این مقاله واقعی است.» --شیلا رایت، مدیر ابتکار آموزش و تحقیق رابط هوش رقابتی-بازاریابی (CIMITRI) در مدرسه بازرگانی لستر، دانشگاه دی مونتفورت. سوالاتی که مدیران می پرسند - "چی؟" "پس چی؟" و "حالا چی؟" 24 تکنیک ارزشمند امروز: نحوه انتخاب آنها، نحوه استفاده از آنها برای همه کسانی که تجزیه و تحلیل انجام می دهند: مدیران، مشاوران، متخصصان عملکردی و استراتژیست ها کتاب کاملاً جدیدی از نویسندگان کتاب محبوب تجزیه و تحلیل استراتژیک و رقابتی موفقیت تجاری با وضوح عمیق آغاز می شود. در مورد رقابت و محیط کسب و کار شما اما، حتی با پیشرفت چشمگیری در جمع‌آوری داده‌ها، تعداد کمی از متخصصان کسب‌وکار تکنیک‌های پیشرفته را برای تجزیه و تحلیل داده‌های خود می‌دانند. اکنون یک راهنمای جامع و بسیار کاربردی برای بهترین ابزارها و تکنیک های امروزی برای پاسخ دادن به سوالات سخت و ارائه توصیه های عملی وجود دارد. تجزیه و تحلیل تجاری و رقابتی با راهنمایی پایان به انتها در مورد فرآیند تجزیه و تحلیل، از جمله تعریف مشکلات، اجتناب از دام های تحلیلی، انتخاب ابزار، و ارتباط نتایج آغاز می شود. در مرحله بعد، نویسندگان راهنماهای مفصلی را در مورد 24 مدل از ارزشمندترین مدل های تحلیل امروزی ارائه می دهند: تکنیک هایی که قبلاً هرگز در یک کتاب گرد هم نیامده اند. آنها راهنمایی های عمیق و گام به گام برای استفاده از هر تکنیک - همراه با ارزیابی های واقع بینانه ارائه می کنند. نقاط قوت، ضعف، امکان سنجی و ارزش تجاری. شما پر از داده ها هستید. این کتاب به شما کمک می‌کند این داده‌ها را به بینش‌ها و توصیه‌هایی عملی تبدیل کنید که تصمیم‌گیرندگان سازمانی نمی‌توانند و نخواهند آن را نادیده بگیرند. Craig S. Fleisher و Babette E. Bensoussan با یک آغازگر عملی در مورد فرآیند و زمینه تحلیل تجاری و رقابتی شروع می کنند: چگونه کار می کند، چگونه از دام ها جلوگیری کنیم، و چگونه نتایج را منتقل کنیم. سپس روش منحصر به فرد FAROUT خود را برای انتخاب ابزار مناسب برای هر تکلیف معرفی می کنند. سپس نویسندگان 24 روش از ارزشمندترین روش های تحلیل امروزی را ارائه می دهند. آنها تکنیک های "کلاسیک" مانند مک کینزی 7S و تجزیه و تحلیل صنعت، و همچنین تکنیک های نوظهور از چندین رشته: اقتصاد، امور مالی شرکت، جامعه شناسی، انسان شناسی، و هوش و آینده پژوهی را پوشش می دهند. جوامع برای هر یک، آنها توضیحات واضح، زمینه زمینه، دلایل استراتژیک، نقاط قوت، ضعف، دستورالعمل های گام به گام و مراجع را ارائه می دهند. نتیجه کتابی است که می توانید برای مقابله با هر چالش تحلیلی، مهم نیست که چقدر پیچیده یا بدیع، به آن تکیه کنید. مبانی تجزیه و تحلیل تجاری و رقابتی اهداف، فرآیندها، دام‌ها، تحویل‌ها و مزایا تکنیک‌های تحلیل رقابتی نه نیرو، موقعیت‌یابی رقابتی، مدل کسب‌وکار، SERVO و تجزیه و تحلیل زنجیره تامین تکنیک‌های تحلیل سازمانی معیارسنجی، مک‌کینزی 7S، سایه‌زنی، خط تولید، و WinzesLo تکنیک های تجزیه و تحلیل محیطی روابط استراتژیک، شهرت شرکت، عوامل موفقیت حیاتی، نیروهای محرک، و تجزیه و تحلیل ریسک کشور تکنیک های تحلیل تکاملی پیش بینی فناوری، بازی جنگ، رویداد/خط زمانی، نشانه ها و تجزیه و تحلیل های هشدار، و بیشتر تکنیک های مالی، احتمالاتی، تجربیات کم و محاسباتی ، تجزیه و تحلیل فرضیه رقابتی (ACH) و تحلیل های Linchpin فهرست مطالب: پیشگفتار 1. تجزیه و تحلیل تجاری و رقابتی: تعریف، زمینه و مزایا 2. انجام فرآیند تجزیه و تحلیل 3. اجتناب از دام های تجزیه و تحلیل 4. برقراری ارتباط مجدد تجزیه و تحلیل5. روش FAROUT 6. تجزیه و تحلیل صنعت (نه نیرو) 7. تجزیه و تحلیل موقعیت یابی رقابتی 8. تجزیه و تحلیل مدل کسب و کار 9. تجزیه و تحلیل SERVO 10. تجزیه و تحلیل مدیریت زنجیره تامین (SCM) 11. تجزیه و تحلیل محک 12. مک کینزی 7S تجزیه و تحلیل Shadowing1. تجزیه و تحلیل 15. تجزیه و تحلیل برد / باخت 16. تجزیه و تحلیل روابط استراتژیک 17. تجزیه و تحلیل شهرت شرکت 18. تجزیه و تحلیل عوامل موفقیت بحرانی 19. تجزیه و تحلیل ریسک کشور  20. تجزیه و تحلیل نیروهای محرک 21. تحلیل رویداد و جدول زمانی. و تحلیل هشدار 25. تحلیل تاریخی 26. تفسیر تحلیل آماری 27. تحلیل جریان نقدی رقیب 28. تجزیه و تحلیل فرضیه رقابتی 29. شاخص تحلیل پین


توضیحاتی درمورد کتاب به خارجی

“I believe that this book will fill a great need for both full-time competitive intelligence practitioners, and those looking to add analytical skills to their managerial tool kit.”--Bill Fiora, Partner and Founder, Outward Insights    “All practicing managers and business decision makers should be grateful to Fleisher and Bensoussan for showing them how their analysis work can become more rigorous and their approach less casual. Accept no imitations. This is the genuine article.” --Sheila Wright, Director of the Competitive Intelligence-Marketing Interface Teaching and Research Initiative (CIMITRI) at Leicester Business School, De Montfort University   The Definitive How-To Guide for Business and Competitive Analysis Transform raw data into compelling, actionable business recommendations Answer the questions executives ask–“What?” “So What?” and “Now What?” Today’s 24 most valuable techniques: how to choose them, how to use them For everyone who performs analysis: managers, consultants, functional specialists, and strategists A completely new book by the authors of the popular Strategic and Competitive Analysis Business success begins with deep clarity about your competition and your business environment. But, even as data gathering has improved dramatically, few business professionals know the state-of-the-art techniques for analyzing their data. Now there’s a comprehensive, immensely practical guide to today’s best tools and techniques for answering tough questions and making actionable recommendations. Business and Competitive Analysis begins with end-to-end guidance on the analysis process, including defining problems, avoiding analytical pitfalls, choosing tools, and communicating results. Next, the authors offer detailed guides on 24 of today’s most valuable analysis models: techniques that have never been brought together in one book before.They offer in-depth, step-by-step guidance for using every technique–along with realistic assessments of strengths, weaknesses, feasibility, and business value.   You are flooded with data. This book will help you transform that data into actionable insights and recommendations that enterprise decision makers cannot and will not ignore. Craig S. Fleisher and Babette E. Bensoussan begin with a practical primer on the process and context of business and competitive analysis: how it works, how to avoid pitfalls, and how to communicate results. Next, they introduce their unique FAROUT method for choosing the right tools for each assignment. The authors then present 24 of today’s most valuable analysis methods.They cover “classic” techniques, such as McKinsey 7S and industry analysis, as well as emerging techniques from multiple disciplines:economics,corporate finance, sociology, anthropology, and the intelligence and futurist communities. For each, they present clear descriptions, background context, strategic rationales, strengths, weaknesses, step-by-step instructions, and references. The result is a book you can rely on to meet any analysis challenge, no matter how complex or novel.
