The companion book to COURSERA's popular massive open online course "Foundations of Business Strategy" and the recently launched five-course specialization, "Business Strategy."

Jared Harris and Michael Lenox have carefully selected 13 analytical techniques that every student and executive needs to master. Harris and Lenox begin with a brief overview of the process for integrative strategic analysis, followed by an easy-to-follow framework for understanding and using each of the 13 tools. The concluding chapter ties everything together with a four-step process for conducting an integrative strategic analysis.
