Thread about Rumelt's Good Strategy, Bad Strategy, which I find helpful but others including @ejames_c don't. Criticism tends to be that it's not practical enough, or maybe lacks intellectual rigour.

IMO It’s helpful to recognize that the book is a reaction to fluffy, vague, and undifferentiated “corporate strategy” (see: Lords of Strategy by Kiechel). I go to Rumelt when I’m trying to steer folks out of that place and into something useful/actionable; not so much otherwise.
