Publisher's Synopsis
NAVIGATING HIGH-STAKES COMPETITION By Dr. Salim Al Harthy
In highly regulated industries, strategy isn't just about winning, it's about surviving, adapting, and thriving in the face of volatility, strict oversight, and razor-thin margins.
In Navigating High-Stakes Competition, Dr. Salim Al Harthy, a seasoned CEO and academic, pulls back the curtain on one of the world's most complex and competitive industries. Blending 25 years of executive leadership with groundbreaking doctoral research, he offers readers a front-row seat into the invisible forces that shape business decisions in high-pressure, highly regulated environments.
This isn't your typical strategy book. Through real-world case studies and exclusive interviews with 14+ industry CEOs, Al Harthy explores how competitive aggressiveness plays out behind closed doors, where trust, timing, and subtle moves often matter more than bold declarations.
Discover:
- Why traditional strategy models fail in regulated sectors
- How firms compete through quiet dominance, regulatory foresight, and hidden tactics
- The powerful AMC-NDCA Framework for navigating strategic constraints
- What not to do when aggressive moves backfire
A practical guide for leaders operating in energy, defense, aviation, pharmaceuticals, infrastructure, and more. Whether you're a CEO, a leader, a strategy consultant, a procurement lead, a policy advisor, or a rising talent, this book delivers rare insight into the real nature of competition when the rules are rigid, the stakes are high, and reputations are everything.
This is strategy in the real world, messy, nuanced, and mission-critical.
