ESSENTIALS OF STRATEGIC MANAGEMENT, Third Edition, is a brief
version of the authors' market-leading text STRATEGIC MANAGEMENT:
AN INTEGRATED APPROACH, helping students identify and focus on core
concepts in the field in a more succinct, streamlined format. Based on real-
world practices and current thinking, the text's presentation of strategic
management features an increased emphasis on the "business model"
concept as a way of framing the issues of competitive advantage. Cutting-
edge research, new strategic management theory, and a hands-on
approach allow students to explore major topics in management, including
corporate performance, governance, strategic leadership, technology, and
business ethics. Its high-quality case program examines small, medium,
and large companies--both domestic and international--so that students
gain practice putting chapter concepts into action.
