Books by Peter Lorange

Lorange reveals how the era of virtual technology, and the shift away from conservatism in classical academic institutions, heralds the arrival of an accessible and better kind of business school. This guide to designing the business school of the future will appeal to business school deans, educators, policymakers and commentators.

As a business academic leading some of the world's key business schools, head of a shipping company and board member for several multinational companies, Peter draws on his own experiences and those of other CEOs interviewed to identify the type of organization leaders must create in order to meet the challenges they face in these turbulent times.

The shipping industry has an impact on each and every one of us every day. Ships transport the food we eat, the clothes we wear, the cars we drive, the materials used to build our homes, and the fuel that heats them. Yet traditional shipping companies - ones that combine various aspects of shipping under one organizational roof - are on the decline. They are gradually being replaced by new, more specialized companies with more strategic clarity and managerial focus. In Shipping Strategy Peter Lorange draws on his extensive experience in the shipping industry to show how companies can adapt to the fast-moving and volatile world of maritime business by devising strategies for future success, including specialization and innovation.

Many academic institutions tend to be managed on an ad hoc basis as the leadership may not be fully and formally equipped to lead, and stakeholder-mix issues often limit its ability to govern proactively. This book is meant as a guide for making strategic management a more realistic option.
