About this title

Review:

"I strongly recommend this book to all strategists--it will certainly get you thinking about strategic thinking."--Michael R./I>--Michael R. Matheny "Strategos "

"Anyone interested in strategy should read this book."--Lt. Col./I>--Lt. Col. Sean Kern "Air Force Research Institute "

"Strategic Thinking in 3D is accessible, thought provoking, and pragmatic for a wide range of individuals who may wrestle with the challenges of an uncertain and competitive environment. The value in Harrison's work is not that it provides answers but asks the questions that drive leaders and their organizations to explore factors which may have strategic effect and substantive impact--then enables the crafting of viable strategies."--Charles D. Allen, Colonel (USA Retired), Parameters--Charles D. Allen, Colonel (USA Retired) "Parameters "

"Strategic Thinking in 3D does much to expand the traditional understanding of strategic theory from a narrow subject lacking commonality between multiple fields of activity to a universal framework for achieving one's goals."--Alexander B./I>--Alexander B. Gray "Naval War College Review "

"Professor Harrison illustrates the power of lateral thinking by exploring diverse 'external' arenas where strategy is required, while also making readers aware of the vital importance of 'internal' readiness to conduct strategy. This book deserves a wide readership in the worlds of foreign policy, university teaching, professional training, and business. Harrison's framework can help would-be strategists everywhere."--Chester Crocker, James R. Schlesinger Professor of Strategic Studies at Georgetown University's Walsh School of Foreign Service and former assistant secretary of state for African affairs--Chester Crocker

"Ross Harrison's Strategic Thinking in 3D provides an incredibly practical primer on strategy that is as useful to military professionals as it is to business leaders."--Marine Corps University Journal--Marine Corps University Journal
