Strategic Management at all levels. Also courses in strategic marketing, organization theory, decision theory, public administration, and political science departments. Breaking away from the traditional formulation, - implementation approach that dominates strategy textbooks, this text sees strategy analysis as taking place in a wider organizational and managerial context. This Global edition retains the basic readings and cases approach of the US and European editions and now introduces a truly international perspective to present an up-to-date look at how actual companies act strategically and the research driving them.
