This extremely readable and engaging book is loaded with examples from a wide array of industries and regions. Read this book if you want to become a more thoughtful and successful strategist.' - Donald C. Hambrick, The Pennsylvania State University, USA"When the bird and the book disagree, believe the bird."However, strategy is about action; it is about getting birds to fly, rather than simply observing them. Too often strategy texts are written by taxidermists rather than strategists. This book is not – use it.' - Pierre Berthon, Clifford F. Youse Chair of Information Design, Bentley University, USA'Strategic Management captures the excitement of strategy-making as well as the complexities of getting the implementation right. The companies that they profile are highly-visible, multinational and play critical roles in their respective environments and the executives have stimulating jobs with tremendous impacts on society. The result is a heady mixture of necessary information and sanguine forecasts of the challenges ahead that will perpetuate students' obsession with a desire to partake in strategic management while satisfying the diverse stakeholders of the enterprise.' - Kathryn Rudie Harrigan, Professor, Columbia University, USA Informationen zum Autor The late Peter Fitzroy was Emeritus Professor of Strategy at Monash University, Australia. James M. Hubert is R.C. Kopf Professor of International Marketing at Columbia University, USA. Timothy O'Shannassy is Senior Lecturer at RMIT University, Australia.
