Understanding competitive advantage the importance of strategic congruence and integrated control

This book is about competitive advantage and how it is created at the company level.; Our theoretical starting point is that the alignment of strategies and control systems affects the firm's chances of successfully positioning itself in its chosen area of competition.; The firm is in a better position to concentrate on activities that create value for the customer if its strategies and control systems are mutually consistent and adapted to expected external demands.; This book is thus a contribution to the literature that treats competitive advantage on the basis of the match between the environment and internal resources.; Our ambition has been to provide additional knowledge in the area through a comprehensive discussion on co-ordination and integration of strategies and control systems.
