Product Description

Product Description
Text and Cases edition.

Strategic Management at all levels both in UK and Europe. Europe's most successful strategy textbook with combined total sales of more than 500,000 covers all the underlying concepts, analytical methods and processes of development, selection, formulation and implementation of strategy.   Thoroughly revised, this 6th edition promises to be the best yet.  For the first time ever the authors introduce the concept of viewing strategy through three separate lenses: 1) the tradition design view of strategy, 2) the notion that strategy can arise from experience and culture; and 3) the notion that strategy can be a product of emergent ideas.

From the Back Cover
 Exploring Corporate Strategyis Europe s leading strategy textbook with sales of over 500,000 copies worldwide. This new edition builds on the established strengths of previous editions, whilst substantially updating and re-orientating material to meet the needs of contemporary students and lecturers. Classic features
    • Combines analytic and process views of strategy.
    • Heavily informed by research in the field.
    • Links theory and practice through over 80 one-page illustrations, 11 chapter end case examples and over 30 case studies.
    • Many globally known organisations (e.g. AOL/Time Warner, Honda, Virgin, Madonna, British Airways, BBC, News Corporation, Xerox, BMW, KPMG, Amazon, Glaxo/Smithcline Beecham, Marks and Spencer, Formula One, W.H.Smith).
    • Cases and examples from many different sectors and geographical locations including UK, US, Scandinavia, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Holland, Croatia.
    • Impressive additional support for tutors and students including: teacher s manual (course design, work assignment de-briefs, case study teaching notes), CD of text exhibits, companion website (including updates, links and multiple choice questions), videos and the Exploring Strategic Management series of books on: techniques, strategic change, finance and public sector strategy.
     New features:
      • Throughout the text, strategy is seen through three complementary 'lenses': 'design' (an analytical approach); 'experience' (builds on cultural, institutional and cognitive schools of thought); 'ideas' (builds on evolutionary and complexity theories).
      • Critical commentaries
      • at the end of each part of the book encourage students to engage critically with the material, exploring links between chapter topics and developing a more holistic view of strategic issues as viewed through these three lenses.
      • Strategies for a fast changing world including hypercompetitive and game theoretic strategies.
      • An increased emphasis on knowledge as a basis of competitive advantage.
      • A new framework for corporate level strategies.
      • A new more integrated approach to issues of structuring: structures, processes, boundaries and relationships.
      • A complete chapter on the links between overall strategy and strategies for separate resource areas, people, information, finance and technology.
      • Many examples of new economy issues: IT, de-regulation, globalisation and flexible structuring.

      5.0 out of 5 stars If you want to learn about strategy, read this book., 26 Feb 2002
      By J. A. B. DIAZ (Medellin Colombia) - See all my reviews
      (REAL NAME)   
      The authors will guide you through a clear, concrete and concise strategic model,and by the time you finish reading it, you will understand everything you need to know about strategy.
      If you are interested in the subject I would say is a 'must-read'.

      5.0 out of 5 stars An immensely practical guide to strategic planning., 6 Jun 2001
      By David N. Watts "Dave" - See all my reviews
      (REAL NAME)   
      In many books written about business by academics there is a huge gap between the theory propounded and the practical implementation within an organisation. This book neatly bridges that gap and lays out a process that can be applied to any for profit industry. It also offers a set of analytical tools that won't scare all those anti-academic senior managers. Essential for my MBA I use the book regularly in my work place.

      5.0 out of 5 stars Exploring Corporate Strategy, 24 April 2003
      By A Customer
      An excellent strategy book, well written and easy to follow. It covers most of the major aspects of strategy, though at time it does focus too much on change management. Brilliant none the less and a very good reference tool both practically and academically.
