Communicating both the excitement and value of strategic management, this popular, lively and conversational text reflects the effect our rapidly changing world has on strategic management theory and practice. Designed in functional four-color, it offers a popular practitioner-oriented perspective, focuses on skill-building in all major areas of strategy formation, implementation, and evaluation, and weaves three very contemporary themes throughout each chapter - globalization, the natural environment, and e-commerce.
