Background 出身背景
The 21st century continues to witness significant shifts in the corporate world. Whereas some of the firms that have gone through these changes managed to rising to the top of their echelon, others have found their way to the bottom of the ladder. With this in mind, researchers and scholars have invested heavily in seeking to understand how businesses can develop strategies that will enable them to remain afloat and relevant in their respective fields. While this is the case, most of these proposed strategies in these researchers and scholars’ work follow the traditional approach to doing businesses and as such, they are incapable of helping businesses in the 21st century address their needs. Rumelt (2011) overcomes these limitations in his work by exploring not only the strategies that businesses can adopt in the modern corporate environment but also explores the actual processes of developing these strategies. He thus explores both the good and bad strategies as well as proposes way through which businesses can gain an edge over their competitors in the market through strategic approaches.
21世纪企业界继续发生重大变化。虽然一些经历了这些变化的公司成功地上升到了他们的梯队的顶端，但其他的公司已经找到了他们的路，走到了阶梯的底部。考虑到这一点，研究人员和学者投入巨资，试图了解企业如何制定战略，使其能够在各自的领域保持活力和相关性。尽管如此，这些研究人员和学者工作中提出的大多数战略都遵循传统的商业方法，因此，它们无法帮助21世纪的企业满足其需求。Rumelt（2011）在他的工作中克服了这些局限性，不仅探索了企业在现代企业环境中可以采用的战略，还探索了制定这些战略的实际过程。因此，他探讨了好的和坏的战略，并提出了企业通过战略方法在市场上获得竞争优势的方法。
