“Compared to other concise texts on Strategy, this text goes into more depth on important areas, explains economic underpinnings more clearly and also highlights common problems in applying models.”
Sheena Davies, University of Portsmouth
"This book has an excellent coverage of general issues of strategic management. The chapter on innovation is very welcome indeed. Highly recommended as a text for 3rd Year UG and PG students."
Jay Mitra, University of Essex
