" The New Strategist not only provides the concepts and tools required for effective strategy making but also details the contexts, actors and competencies that animate the process. In this uniquely authoritative book, Müller-Stewens translates over 40 years of experience into an indispensable resource for anyone who aspires to become a true strategy professional." Steven Floyd, Isenberg Professor of Innovation and Entrepreneurship, Isenberg School of Management, University of Massachusetts, USA
"An insightful and pragmatic guide to all strategic decision makers - a must-read for any entrepreneurial and hands-on strategist." Dr Max Kownatzki, Senior Vice President Network & Partnership Management Hub Airlines, Deutsche Lufthansa AG, Germany
"This book is a rousing call to professionalism in strategy work. Müller-Stewens shows how a combination of analytical craftsmanship and moral sensibility will be crucial to strategy professionals as they lead their organizations into this challenging future." Richard Wittington, Professor of Strategic Management, Saïd Business School, UK
"Businesses now operate in a distinctively new competitive landscape that is rapidly changing and unpredictable due partly to disruptive technologies and chaotic political forces. Because of this unique context, the role of strategists has dramatically changed, making this highly insightful book both timely and critically important. It is a must read for all strategic leaders and strategic management scholars alike." Michael Hitt, University Distinguished Professor Emeritus, Texas A&M University
" Müller-Stewens sees the strategist as leading more than the core strategy development and execution processes. Instead, the strategist should be a member of a company's leadership team which starts from deriving the purpose. This is the fundamental rule upon which the work of strategists needs to be built and animated by the strategic leader." Dr. Andreas Gocke, Managing Director and Senior Partner, The Boston Consulting Group
