Finance ✦ Penny’s Take
Short Introduction to Strategic Management
Torben Juul Andersen · 2013
72/100
👍 Worth It
Cambridge University Press credentialing and more than 300 citations give this text real weight, and Andersen covers the full arc from classical positioning models through dynamic capabilities and multinational strategy in a relatively compact form. It reads more like a course companion than an independent deep-dive — readers with some prior strategy exposure will get far more from it than complete beginners. Solid, authoritative, and appropriately dense for its purpose.
