Items related to Modern Competitive Strategy
Modern Competitive Strategy, 2e, by Gordon Walker, provides concise, rigorous, and broad synthesis of the theory and empirics of the strategy field. The approach is eclectic, reflecting the diversity of the discipline, drawing on studies in industrial and institutional economics, economic and organizational sociology, mainstream strategy, and finance and marketing when appropriate. Both single business and corporate-level organizations are covered. Ideal for current and budding managers, many short cases, company examples, and practical tools are used to illustrate the concepts. The material is appropriate for either a full semester course or a single module in MBA programs, advanced undergraduate courses, EMBA and executive education classes.

From the Publisher:
A unique chapter on "Sustaining Competitive Advantages" discusses how firms sustain success over long periods of time and weather economic ups and downs.
The book's eclectic approach offers a balanced presentation of leading strategic theorists, rather than focusing on a single perspective as is often the case with competing texts.
About the Author:
The book's eclectic approach offers a balanced presentation of leading strategic theorists, rather than focusing on a single perspective as is often the case with competing texts.
The text is pedagogically sound. Each chapter includes an introduction and summary of key points. In addition, short case studies within chapters provide examples showing how concepts relate to today's businesses and business issues.
The Walker text includes a chapter on Governing the Firm (corporate governance)'a topic of particular interest given the recent problems related to corporate governance at firms such as Enron, Tyco, and others.
Walker's Modern Competitive Strategy covers both business and corporate-level strategy, making it appropriate for MBA strategy courses that cover both.
