Product Description
Miller clearly takes a stand. The text emphasizes developing a competitive advantage for the purpose of achieving superior financial performance. This central focus forms an integrating theme demonstrated from the start by the, "Architecture of Strategy" framework. The nautre of strategic management is changing in such a way that all managers, regardless of organizational level or functional speciality, are becoming move involved in helping formulate and implement strategies for the entire businss. Every Case was selected because it illustrated this concept in practice.

Too Academic
16 Feb 2001
Format:Hardcover
The book looks nice and reads easy.
But the author obviously has little or no management experience at all. Reads like a mangement text book written by an outdated, behind-the-desk university professor.
Recommended for folks who are keen on the history of strategic management!

Simplistic
10 Jan 2002
Format:Hardcover
I teach strategic management in the MBA program and do not recommend that this book be used. The cases are very dated and industry restructuring, as well as poor coverage of new technologies (such as the Internet), make this book tedious reading. Miller also fails to include several theories and frameworks (such as Porter's industry analysis) which gives spotty coverage to some areas. The international dimension is also very poor -- the assumption is that international environments are similar to domestic environments and a pursuit of profits (Miller's definition of success) is all that is needed in both for companies. Simplistic!

Poor textbook
13 Jan 2002
Format:Hardcover
This book was published in 1997 and written probably two years earlier. It misses out on all the developments that have shaken and rebuilt industries in the last 7 or 8 years. It also has very poor coverage of both classic and more modern theories. Yes, Miller takes a stand: but he does not give credit for his ideas (none of which are original) or cover theories that contradict his stand. This is not a good textbook for any level -- but worst for more advanced levels.
