Finance ✦ Penny’s Take
Business Strategy
Patrick J. Stroh · 2014
68/100
👎 Skip It
Stroh's pop-culture analogies are a genuine attempt to make strategy frameworks stick in busy executives' minds, and his Fortune 20 background means the examples aren't just theoretical. But the analogies may come across as gimmicky to experienced strategists, and the book occupies a narrow sweet spot that limits its audience. Solid but not essential — better for business students than seasoned C-suite readers.
