Synopsis:

Strategic Management 5e combines theory and practice into an effective new approach to the study of strategic management. Emphasizing strategy development in highly competitive environments, it applies traditional theoretical principles and analytical frameworks to today's dynamic business climate. It uses value creation and resource-based sustainability as central concepts to integrate ideas from cover to cover. This enables a broad discussion of stakeholders and organizational goals, in-depth exploration of the foundation of superior long term performance, and shows how strategy decision domains are all centrally related. Grounded in contemporary strategic management theory, the book also exhibits a very practical approach. Chapters provide guidance on actually putting strategy frameworks to use (e.g., steps to conduct an industry analysis, how to do a resource analysis, how to conduct a value chain analysis) along with examples of how to do so. Classroom-tested and peer-reviewed, the author employs an engaging writing style that appeals to students and instructors alike.
