Understanding Strategic Management
Anthony Henry · 2021
78/100
👍 Worth It
A well-structured, readable introduction to strategic management that earns its place on undergraduate syllabi worldwide. The contemporary case studies — including AI business situations — keep the material from feeling stale, and the accessible prose makes dense theory approachable for first-time strategy students. Practitioners looking for deep specialization may want to supplement, but as a course text it delivers exactly what it promises.
