• 7 New chapters on topics such as Chief Executive Officers, Middle Managers, Strategic Alignment and Strategic Ambidexterity in line with developments in the field
• New case studies throughout including Narayana health, the turnaround of Reliant group and relocating a business school
• Tutor and student access to online resources inlcude additional readings, an Instructor′s Manual, PowerPoint slides, author podcasts and videos.

Aimed at undergraduate and postgraduate students taking advanced strategy modules and practitioners alike.
