Synopsis

The Oxford Handbook of Strategy is a two-volume set on the key subject areas and issues currently under discussion in the field of strategy. It unites an international team of contributors who are all recognised authorities on the topic of their chapter. The Handbook will be of considerable value to researchers, graduate students, and teachers whose interest in the subject area has advanced beyond that of the traditional textbooks, and to managers and consultants who seek an authoritative, accessible, and up-to-date discussion of the fundamentals of strategy.

Volume Two looks at the challenges and choices for the corporation under four main headings: Corporate Strategy (Diversification, The Role of the Centre, Mergers and Acquisitions, Strategic Alliances and Networks); International Strategy; Strategies of Organizational Change (Managing Change, Turnarounds, Organizational Structure, Organizational Renewal); and Strategic Flexibility and Uncertainty (Game Theory, A Real Options Framework, Strategic Flexibility). It concerns itself primarily with the multi-business unit corporation, how it decides which businesses to be in, and how to run them.
