Pragmatism is enjoying a renaissance in management studies and the
social sciences. Once written off as amoral, relativist and opposed to
the ideals of Truth, Reason and Progress, it is now regaining
influence in public policy, international relations and business
strategy. But what can pragmatism teach us about strategy? How can
pragmatic strategies help businesses to succeed? This innovative book
presents a pragmatic framework for shaping and solving strategic
problems in a practical, creative, ethical and finely balanced manner.
To achieve this, the authors draw from Confucian teaching, American
pragmatism and Aristotelian practical wisdom, as well as business
cases across industries and nations, particularly from emerging
economies. With significant theoretical depth, direct practical
implication and profound cultural sensitivity, the book is useful for
executive managers, public administrators, strategy researchers and
advanced students in the search for pragmatic strategies in an
interconnected, fast-moving world.
