Professor Jorge Sá (PhD Columbia University; MBA Drucker University; Jean Monnet Chair; Peter Drucker speaker) is an international speaker and author, having published several books on business and economics topics, translated into twelve languages.
Together with our office, Professor Jorge Sá also produced small booklets on business administration and economics, namely the booklet:
“The Pizza Hut Case: the 14 Strategic Moves”
This booklet presents the basic fourteen strategic moves any company can follow, and exemplifies them with the example of the pizza industry.
As explained and exemplified in the booklet, competitive success is a consequence of knowing the: 1) what (the 14 strategic alternatives); 2) when (to perform each move); 3) how (to implement the 14 moves); and 4) with whom (alone or in alliance and which type).
And the management of these 1) what; 2) when; 3) how; and 4) with whom, should be done under four major guidelines:
- 1 – Nothing is written;
- 2 – These strategic rules are timeless;
- 3 – Because “business is uncertain – just like war” (Carl von Clausewitz) – luck plays a significant part;
- 4 – These rules are of utmost importance since in business there are no armistices – the struggle is continuous, permanent. Day after day (cover and back cover of the booklet below).
