Reviews / Votes
'Advanced Strategic Management lives up to its title and provides a comprehensive review of the many perspectives on strategic management. The theoretical coverage is unmatched by any other text and the links to practical application are serious and useful. In an overpopulated market, this text stands apart.' Pete Thomas, Lancaster University, UK 'This is an ideal book for everyone interested in Strategic Management. The authors are to be congratulated for this excellent book.' - Ioannis Thanos, University of Glasgow, UK 'Advanced Strategic Management is an ideal companion for students, scholars and practitioners alike, offering a structured and comprehensive multi-angled analysis of the strategy field.' - Uta Morgenstern, Goldsmiths, University of London, UK 'This is an excellent and insightful book. It presents several complementary theoretical perspectives bringing together world-class management scholars. This multi-perspective approach is greatly beneficial in helping students gain a more rounded understanding of strategic management beyond well established - and very often out-of-date - concepts. Each chapter also offers a very useful summary of the key points of each perspective and a rich case study from a set of international companies. Overall, this textbook is a joy to read and highly recommended for students at all levels eager to master the latest thinking in strategic management.' - Alessandro Giudici, Cass Business School, City University, UKMore details
