Reviews

"When the bird and the book disagree, believe the bird."

However, strategy is about action; it is about getting birds to fly, rather than simply observing them. Too often strategy texts are written by taxidermists rather than strategists. This book is not - use it.' - Pierre Berthon, Clifford F. Youse Chair of Information Design, Bentley University, USA

'Strategic Management captures the excitement of strategy-making as well as the complexities of getting the implementation right. The companies that they profile are highly-visible, multinational and play critical roles in their respective environments and the executives have stimulating jobs with tremendous impacts on society. The result is a heady mixture of necessary information and sanguine forecasts of the challenges ahead that will perpetuate students' obsession with a desire to partake in strategic management while satisfying the diverse stakeholders of the enterprise.' - Kathryn Rudie Harrigan, Professor, Columbia University, USA
