Uncommon Sense, Common Nonsense: Why Some Organisations Consistently Outperform Others

By Tony Eccles and Jules Goddard

This is for managers who know that their organizations are stuck in a mindset that thrives on fashionable business theories that are no more than folk wisdom, and whose so-called strategies are little more than banal wish lists. It puts forward the notion that the application of uncommon sense--thinking or acting differently from other organizations in a way that makes unusual sense--is the secret to competitive success. Jules Goddard is a fellow of the Centre for Management Development at London Business School. Tony Eccles is a visiting professor of strategic management at Cass Business School, City University, London.
