By far the best book in the field I have ever read! It makes the study of Strategy interesting! [The authors] relate theory to real-life examples which are up to date with current business news. I would most certainly recommend this book to anyone! The on-line features are excellent as well.

I found this book to be invaluable during [my] Strategic Management module. During my written assignment (which I passed easily) I drew heavily on the concepts and ideas introduced in this publication.
