CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Oct. 9, 2015 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Many discussions of strategy revolve around companies. But what about the people who develop corporate strategies?

In an interview published today in MIT Sloan Management Review, Michael Cusumano, a professor at MIT Sloan School of Management and David Yoffie, a Harvard University professor, speak candidly about these topics and more through the lens of their book, Strategy Rules: Five Timeless Lessons From Bill Gates, Andy Grove, and Steve Jobs (HarperCollins, 2015), with editorial director Martha Mangelsdorf.

The authors of the bestselling book, Competing on Internet Time, Cusumano and Yoffie have worked with and studied these three individuals and their companies for the past 30 years, while teaching business and innovation at MIT Sloan and Harvard. Strategy Rules, and the subsequent interview in MIT Sloan Management Review, examines what these CEOs had in common, and – through examples of their successes and failures – what it tkes to master strategy and execution, become a great entrepreneur, and transition from an entrepreneur to a successful CEO of a global enterprise.
