STRATEGIC MANAGEMENT explores how firms build, extend, organize, and sustain a competitive advantage, focusing on five key themes: distinctive competence, quality, globalization, change, and ethics. This text takes an applications-oriented approach in which a company's strategic position or dilemma is dissected and analyzed in such a way that all key concepts and ideas are brought to light. Filled with current real-world applications, this book also includes mini-cases within each chapter.
