'I love this book...it is novel, punchy and extremely well written. It takes the pomposity out of strategic management, showing that strategy is everywhere and can really help with the complicated jargon. A great read, buy it!' -

good for incorporating different studying strategies when planning for teching a course but not a book for the students in this area.
brilliant summary of the the topic
As the title sugust a short book which is simply a condensed on strategy managment. It does little to inform about any practical approaches to applying strategy. The book will be of use to college students looking for a concise overview of theory. at the end I would like conclud to that it's a nice book . It covers most of the points of Strategic management.
However, the language is bit hard to read by a non English-speaker.
A very good book which provides a brief account of the main schools in strategic management and its historic development.
A very nice book that offers a brief overview of the main schools of thought in strategic management and its historical development.
Although an introduction, useful as students at degree level have an opportunity to start with this, and build up to applied case studies.
