More About the Author
Product Description
Product Description
For a first-year MBA strategy course grounded in business strategy.
Pankaj Ghemawat, respected and renowned Harvard Business School professor, has designed and written a business strategy text designed to help students master a body of analytical tools and develop an integrative point of view when making strategic choices.
From the Back Cover
Strategy and the Business Landscape: Core Concepts offers a contemporary yet historically grounded perspective on the field of strategy. Pankaj Ghemawat in association with David. J. Collins, Jan W. Rivkin, and Gary P. Pisano, provides firm-centered and value-based logic to bridge some of the great debates about strategy today. Always practical, while still rigorous, key concepts are laid out succinctly and illustrated with rich examples, often drawn from the author team's rich professional experience.
This text represents the core concepts of Harvard's required Competition and Strategy course offered at the Harvard Business School.

Format:Paperback
Very well written and comprehensive book. Ghemawat provides an overview of the main ideas in competitive strategy, from industry analysis to competitive advantage to game theory, all in a dynamic perspective. The last chapters are about corporate strategy and global strategy. I really enjoyed this book.

Could be Better
22 Jun 2007
Format:Paperback
The text is very heavy on the theory and provides a good background in the subject matter. Less pompous writing style could make it more readable. There are numerous spelling errors and instances of the words confused (tack instead of track, stricture instead of structure). Maybe upcoming editions will be better.

Nothing good to say, except
14 July 2008
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
the picture on the front cover is very nice. As far as the text goes, you are better off waiting for the movie. This is three or four pages of information drug out into a full book. Yikes.

Really disappointing and useless.
2 Oct 2005
Format:Paperback
This book is really disappointing. When the it was delivered at home, I thought the box was empty: the book is as thin as a magazine!
The content is very theorical, completely useless for executives.
Maybe OK for students who have no clue at all about what strategy is, but definitely useless for executives.
