For my MBA study I bought four good-rated strategy books from Amazon. Luckily that book was suggested as the main text book by our course professor . As you can see, it has a limited number of reviews in Amazon, which left me really wondering. I believe this is one of the top best business strategy and business thinking books ever written. Amazingly, it suite a wide variety of audience from naive student just looking for high-level strategy understanding to really deep thinker who may question even fundamental concepts. It offers a very solid structural approach in dealing with complex subject matter of strategy. Right from beginning, the book encourage you to think and question while reading in a very smart and attractive way. It set your mindset from early chapters to realize that there is no common agreement on even the definition of strategic management and there is big question by managers about its real practical value. But do not worry, it is NOT a dry theory book, it is a real live one and offers tons and tons of structured information and perspectives. This great book is guided by looking into strategy from three parent perspective of Strategy as a Process ( the HOW), Strategy Context (WHERE: environment and circumstances) and Strategy Contents (What: the product of strategy process).
This book can safely stamped with "money-back guarantee, if not satisfied"

5.0 out of 5 stars Not a manual - a thinking catalyst

I bought this book to get started in business strategy. I stumbled upon other strategy books in the past, and I was expecting, in a way, more of the same: A step-by-step guide to formulating and implementing a business strategy (but, hopefully, one well written).

I got much more than I expected: This is a book that raises questions and gives you the tools to find your own answers. It combines short introductions into topics in strategy (for example, control vs. chaos in the organization) with key articles on these subjects. Reading each chapter makes you think about your own point of view, and lets you find your own way instead of telling you which one is the right way.

If you want to get to know most key issues in the business strategy field, and develop your own point of view about them, this is the book for you.

We used this book for our MBA class in Australia and it was probably the best textbook written in the whole course. I thoroughly enjoyed all the case studies. Would definitely keep it on my book shelf for future reference.

A mandatory textbook for strategists, it contains general information and interesting case studies. It divides the study of strategy in comprehensible elements. The proposed debates in every chapter make the reader think.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best Strategy book I am aware of
Reviewed in the United States on February 11, 2014
Nothing covers everything, but this book is getting as close as possible to covering not only the main strategic approaches but also shows an approach to approach the approaches: harvest strategies as emerging properties from paradoxes and dialogue.
For novices it is a perfect starter and for old hands who might relay a bit too much on their experience this is a book that helps to see the many "other: options that create the foundation for a dialogue.

Ich habe das Buch für mein Studium gebracht.

1. Der Preis bei amazon war viel günstiger als in unserem Book Store. Ich habe das Buch für 64 EUR bekommen, wenn es 80 EUR bei uns gekostet hat!
2. Die Lieferung war sehr schnell. Ich habe das Buch am Sonntag Abend bestellt und am Mittwoch morgen habe ich es bekommen.
3. Verpackung - ganz in Ordnung.

Das Buch selbst gefällt mir ganz gut. Es ist sehr gut geschrieben - gute wirtschaftliche Englisch, leicht zu verstehen. Viele Beispiele und Case Studies. Insgesamt sehr sehr interessant. Ich würde es nicht nur fürs Studium empfehlen.
