PTW/PI All-Stars Book Club – Chapter One
The PTW/PI Book Club launched its first chapter by spotlighting Michael Porter’s three seminal strategy contributions. The piece, drawn from a Harvard Business School “Celebrating Michael Porter” conference, argues Porter saved the strategy academy, bolstered the shift from planning to choice‑driven strategy, and provoked the integration of customers into strategic thinking. The author also critiques the academic dominance of the resource‑based view and notes the lingering resistance to merging strategy with marketing. Reader reactions highlight appreciation for the historical context and the relevance of Porter’s legacy to today’s practitioners.
