Product Description

Review

"Discusses a wide range of current research in the strategy area, and is well illustrated with examples from various industries and national settings. I believe it to be the best text on the market in both respects." Anne Huff, University of Illinois at Urbana–Champaign

Product Description

Considered by many to be the best textbook on Strategy, Contemporary Strategy Analysis 7th edition builds on the strengths of previous editions by introducing students to the core concepts and principles of strategy. Rob Grant eloquently combines theory with current real world examples and practice using a clearly written, logical and comprehensive approach.

Updates for the 7th Edition:

Format:Paperback
I studied this book as part of the Strategy module for my MBA and found it comprehensive, thorough and relatively easy to read and digest.

There are many good strategy books that provide excellent insight into key parts of strategy, this one gives a solid grounding across all the disciplines (including work by Porter, Ansoff, Hamel & Prahalad, Ohmae, Chandler, BCG, McKinsey etc.).

Highly recommended for strategy students and executives looking to build a thorough and credible knowledge of the subject.

I don't write alot of reviews but this one compelled me to share my thougths becuase it was so good. Recently completing my MBA, I read a few strategy books but put them all down after I bought this one. This is a clearly written, well-crafted book that elequently combines theory with real-world examples in an easy to understand and compelling way. Really good!

Excellent 21 May 2004
Format:Paperback
I am an undergraduate degree level student (Business Studies).

"Contemporary Strategy Analysis: Concepts, Techniques, Applications" is an excellent book. I used it both in my first and final year. I really gets to grips with the key issues and provides a lot of depth. Not too difficult to read and if this is in a list of books for you to get, and you have to choose one, I definately recommend this one.
