二十世纪见证了商业组织的快速发展，它们对环境的影响越来越大。许多公司的业务遍及全球，预算超过了几个国家的国民生产总值。虽然规模通常意味着权力，但巨人笨拙、僵化和变革缓慢也是事实。因此，为了长期生存，企业组织必须不断保持警惕，监测其经营环境的变化，并调整其方向。指挥和控制这些组织是一项要求极高、极其复杂的任务。除了这一负担，政府官僚机构的影响力越来越大，几乎是对他们运作的一种反应。因此，这本书的主题是巨大的--也是更具挑战性的，因为到目前为止，还没有人公平地对待它，尽管安索夫教授的《企业战略》在60年代中期出现了一些有用的指针。有趣的是，《企业战略》的方向和需要与安索夫最初的写作有所不同，当时的主题是增长和扩张，而今天的重点是维持和生存。翻阅这本书，就像人们在购买之前在书店所做的那样，给人一种对这个相当复杂的主题进行清晰而简洁的处理的印象。然而，仔细研究一下，克林根博士使用的风格和呈现方法可能会让许多读者在读完前几章后放弃。
The twentieth century has seen the rapid growth of business organisations with their ever increasing influence on the environment. Many span the globe in their operations and have budgets greater than the GNP of several nations. While size generally means power, it is also true that the giant is cumbersome, inflexible and slow to change. For long term survival the business organisation must therefore be constantly vigilant in monitoring changes in its operating environment and adjusting its direction. Directing and controlling these organisations is an extremely demanding and highly complex task. Added to this burden, almost as a reaction to their operations, is the increasing influence of government bureaucracy. The theme of the book is thus immense-and the more challenging because no one, as yet, has done it justice, though some useful pointers emerged in the mid-sixties in Professor Ansoff's' Corporate Strategy'. It is interesting to note, that the direction and need for Corporate Strategy has changed somewhat from Ansoffs' initial writing, when the theme was then directed to growth and expansion, as against today when the emphasis is very much on maintenance and survival.On leafing through this book, as one would do in a book shop prior to purchase, it gives the impression of a clear concise treatment of this rather complex subject. However, on closer examination the style and method of presentation used by Dr Klingen would probably make many readers give up after the first few chapters.
