Whole Business Thinking: Executive Management

Whole Business Thinking addresses the needs of corporate decision makers, executives, managers, entrepreneurs, and business owners who seek to understand and improve their company’s financial performance, and for business students. WBT introduces powerful concepts to help businesspeople understand the past, identify and analyze alternatives, plan the future, execute their plans, and evaluate performance. WBT demystifies complex financial concepts by explaining them in plain, easy-to-understand language. Readers will learn how to link past financial performance to future financial goals; how to connect decisions and actions, called strategies (performance indicators), to their financial consequences; and how to link the language of finance with the language of operations. WBT provides insight to help management analyze the details, synthesize the whole, make better business decisions, and manage more efficiently and effectively. In this profoundly important book, Robert Block has taken the focus of management to an entirely new level.
