This book provides a concrete guide on how to execute strategic pricing to excel in an increasingly dynamic and digitised business environment, while developing and deepening relations with contract partners. The secret lies in crafting innovative price models that reward joint value creation in accordance with the business model, rather than engaging in confrontative zero-sum pricing reasoning. Strategic and Innovative Pricing: Price Models for a Digital Economy provides hands-on tools that are applied on three interconnected levels of analysis. It illustrates how to explore the business ecology to understand its dynamics and how digitisation enables it to prosper and demonstrates how to construct a viable business model that enables an organisation to navigate in its vibrant ecology. Finally, and most importantly, it shows how to use innovative price models to realize and monetise the business model and its value offering, making the organisation and its partnerships sustainable. Models pertaining to the three levels of analyses are applied in rich case studies and examples from different countries, and the book includes guidelines on how to use them. Special attention is paid to digitisation as an underlying theme, making this book of interest to researchers, academics, and students in the fields of strategic management and technology & innovation management.

A Practical Guide to Using the Balanced Scorecard performance drivers Nils-Goran Olve, Jan Roy and Magnus Wetter Since the groundbreaking work of Robert S. Kaplan and David P. Norton, the concept of the Balanced Scorecard has achieved increasing popularity in the business world. Previously, many organizations had built their business objectives around financial targets and goals that bore little relation to a long-term strategic vision. Typically, this leaves a gap between the development of a company's strategy and its implementation. The business scorecard, however, provides a more 'balanced view' by looking at not just-financial concerns, but also customers, internal business processes, and learning and growth. But it is not just a system of performance measurement - by focusing on future potential success it can be used as a dynamic management system that reinforces, implements and drives corporate strategy forward. In this book, the authors draw on their extensive experience with scorecard projects to provide a step-by-step method for introducing the Balanced Scorecard into an organization. This is done through the use of some of the most important practical examples in existence, with case studies from ABB, Coca Cola, Electrolux, British Telecom, Nat West, Skandia and Volvo. The desired strategic control system using scorecards that is presented focuses on creating and communicating a total comprehensive picture to all members of the organization from the top down, a long-term view of what the company's strategic objectives really are, how to make use of knowledge gained through experience and the required flexibility of such a system to cope with the fast-changing business environment. This book will provide senior and operational managers, consultants and business academics with a comprehensive view of emerging Balanced Scorecard practice supported by both business advice and a theoretical foundation. Reflections on the relations between the Balanced Scorecard and other areas, such as TQM, information systems and intellectual capital and knowledge management are also made. Business Strategy

Vi lever i organisationer. Från förskola via skola till jobb i företag eller offentlig förvaltning, som medlem eller förtroendevald i föreningar, patient i vården eller boende på ett seniorhem. Alla dessa organisationer använder resurser för att klara sina uppdrag, ge resultat och skapa nytta. Ekonomistyrning är en förutsättning för att de ska lyckas. Som anställda, kunder och medborgare behöver vi därför förstå hur ekonomistyrningen kan utformas och användas.Tekniker som budget och internpriser har beskrivits i många böcker. I den här boken vidgas perspektivet till att även tala om ansvar, hur organisationer utformas och hur värderingar styr. Är krav och mål förenliga med varandra och med det professionella ansvar medarbetarna känner?Ekonomistyrning handlar om hur vi använder och inriktar våra resurser för att nå mål. Även i välskötta företag kan styrningen oftast förbättras. Debatten om kvalitet i vården eller resultat i skolan gäller också hur vi styr: vem som bör avgöra vad, och vad medarbetarna uppmuntras att göra. Det här är något som vi alla möter dagligen. Det här är ekonomistyrning.
