1. Corporate headquarters in the twenty-first century : an organization design perspective
abstractThe corporate headquarters (CHQ) of the multi-business enterprise, which emerged as the dominant organizational form for the conduct of business in the twentieth century, has attracted considerable scholarly attention. As the business environment undergoes a fundamental transition in the twenty-first century, we believe that understanding the evolving role of the CHQ from an organization design perspective will offer unique insights into the nature of business activity in the future. The purpose of this article, in keeping with the theme of the Journal of Organization Design Special Collection, is thus to invigorate research into the CHQ. We begin by explicating four canonical questions related to the design of the CHQ. We then survey fundamental changes in the business environment occurring in the twenty-first century, and discuss their potential implications for CHQ design. When suitable here we also refer to the contributions published in our Special Collection. Finally, we put forward recommendations for advancements and new directions for future research to foster a deeper and broader understanding of the topic. We believe that we are on the cusp of a change in the CHQ as radical as that which saw its initial emergence in the late nineteenth/early twentieth century. Exactly what form that change will take remains for practitioners and researchers to inform.

3. Why has strategy become irrelevant? : understanding the complete strategy landscape
abstractDeveloping the firm's strategy was once seen as the most important task facing a CEO. Yet in the last twenty years, the practice of strategy has been relegated to a routinized function – part of the annual planning process, like performance management and succession planning reviews – necessary and useful, but neither vitally important nor the focus of CEO attention. Why has strategy lost its primacy and relevance? And can it recover its exalted position in C-suite discussions?

4. The value potential of new business models
abstractOne attempt to regain the ground that strategy has recently lost, which was described in the first article, has been the introduction of “business models” as the precursor to competitive positioning within an industry. Understanding a business model provides a shorthand description of how value is created - although the business model, by itself, does not determine how profitable it will be for any firm: for that we need to examine the complete strategy landscape

5. The strategic management of execution
abstract“Tell me David, is it better to have a great strategy poorly executed, or a so-so strategy really well executed?” The age-old question suggests there is a fundamental tradeoff between strategy and execution. The tone in which it is asked typically flags that the questioner already knows the answer - the superiority of execution over strategy. But is this really true? Does, to borrow a phrase, execution eat strategy for lunch?
