'This is a cleverly crafted book, combining strategic management essentials with contemporary insights and examples. The authors' emphasis on the centrality of leadership and the importance of process is especially welcome. Leavy and McKiernan have succeeded in writing a lively and valuable text that will resonate particularly well with MBA and executive audiences' -Thomas Lawton, Professor of Strategic Management, Cranfield UniversityMore details
