5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent all rounder, 18 Nov 2000
By A Customer
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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent, 21 May 2004
By James Naylor (Birmingham, England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent!, 5 Sep 2003
By A Customer
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!
