Inherent Strategies in Library Management describes general and specific strategies for libraries based on core library values, and does so through concrete research. Many strategic management books for libraries introduce concepts of business management to the library world, but often neglect traditional library culture and core values. This book reexamines management through the lens of libraries themselves, rather than relying on strategies borrowed from the business world, in an attempt to bring to light the factors and decision-making processes behind how librarians have run their libraries over the past fifty decades. In other words, their decisions can be regarded as inherent management, born naturally from the core foundations, considerations, and operations of libraries. In addition, this book investigates the broad influences of business management theories on libraries, including a discussion on the advantages and disadvantages of their use. - Presents management strategies for libraries based on core library values - Provides detailed analysis on the effects of business management theories on libraries - Lays down the fundamental rules for managing libraries - Explains various management analysis methods - Bridges the gap between library core values and business efficiency
Outside In, Inside Out
The business world continues to be fraught with immense risk, uncertainty, and complexity. Post-COVID, we’ve seen the impacts of the war in Ukraine, an increasingly bellicose China, supply chain disruptions worldwide, change caused by artificial intelligence, an ongoing banking crisis in the West, and now the war in the Middle East. Today’s business leaders must be exceptionally resilient, flexible, and agile, and never has it been more critical to create a robust strategic plan than it is today. Using a novel yet simple framework consisting of both the “outside-in” factors (an external environment including customer needs, competition, market dynamics, and trends) as well as the “inside-out” factors (the operating environment within an organization, such as enterprise risks, portfolio analysis, and business performance) that, when understood together, the book will give leaders the tools to make critical strategic choices to propel forward an organization. Outside In, Inside Out is an integrated, easy-to-digest how-to guide that will challenge assumptions and offer tips and tricks of what to do — and, equally importantly, what not to do — to ensure any business develops a competitive edge and achieves success in today’s complex world. Featuring various outside-in and inside-out public examples from the likes of Coca-Cola, Spotify, GM, Airbnb, Microsoft, Nike, Snapchat, Starbucks, IKEA, Intel, Samsung, and more; furthermore, the author takes readers on a journey inside the many organizations for which he has acted as an adviser and brings to the book a practitioner’s in-depth perspective, drawing on nearly three decades of strategic work with more than 80 companies in 11 countries.
