This is a fantastically well written text which incorporates the latest thinking on strategic management. Striking a balance between theory and application, it is extremely readable and loaded with a wide range of case studies. An essential source for undergraduate, postgraduate and professional courses on strategic managementDr Tahir RashidLecturer in Strategy and Marketing, Salford Business School. University of Salford
The authors presents just key issues of strategic management. This book is good for the basic course of management.
Very good book. Extremely useful boom for the students - with the sections broken down clearly.
The book is good but Fred R david book establish a better book structure
A well written text which augments established and contemporary thinking on strategy. Straightforward way of applying models to practice. Great Stuff!
There are a few areas of this book that can be used within the Unit and it will definitely be used as a point of reference. It is however much more suited to other units that are being taught at the college and will be passed on to tutors who can make better use of it next term.
This book provides novel and interesting perspectives on a subject for which the body of literature is saturated. It will be particularly useful for students who wish to stretch their strategic management learning beyond standard curriculum topics.
This book is an excellent piece on strategic management, its step-by-step approach makes it easily assimilated.
Well structured book with useful case studies
Interesting book about the essentials of strategic managment. The contents are very clear and give to the students the knowledge required to understand the concepts of strategy necessary for the management of firms in the competitive environment of our days.
Usefull for all students studying strategic managment as a stand alone module.
Excellent detail. More applicable for final year undergraduates.
Book written not based on real-business-life but philosophical contemplations, authors clearly have no understanding of the reality of strategy implementation, nor seem to have looked into the state-of-the-art research. Outlining challenges in strategic management but without really addressing them. Same old stuff, what's already in many other (old) books.
A consice Overview for Understanding Strategic Thinking
This will be a good supplement to the core texts we are already using in Strategic Management module.
Not apprpriate for the course I teach which is specifically on Education
Awaiting changes in our course structure. Shifting professors around.
Did not find the textbook an improvement over my present textbook.
The current text provided a greater range of course options
A positively different structure and text in comparison to other books. It presents extended theoretical frameworks and adopts a more modern approach with reference to strategy. Good, too, are the case studies presented. However, it does not go far enough. It still respects too old theory, like Porter, becoming increasingly irrelevant. Unfortunately nothing is said, e.g., about ecosystems, keystone and dominator strategies. Nevertheless within available textbooks this book is recommended and adopted.
