About this title

From the Back Cover

T​he book is easy to follow and easy to understand. It is well structured and covers the relevant issues in strategy. A strength of the book is that it has a lot of practical examples, successfully conveying to students that strategy is of practical relevance.
Ingo Kleindienst, Aarhus University

It is short and to the point

​. 

The 3 circle model and the breakdown into chapters of focus all make it more accessible and give a framework to both teaching and learning. The case studies to exemplify models are also very useful.
Mark Ellis, Sheffield Hallam

The main strengths are the concise overview given into the subject of strategic management as well as its clear structure, the interesting illustrations and case studies.
