This text really is a capstone for the various branches of management. It succinctly pulls together information and solid examples to highlight various strategies and facts about the complex and daunting world of strategic management. Most students cringe at the idea of purchasing a textbook that potentially holds redundant information or outdated facts, but this book managed to avoid the majority of useless repetitions as well as obscure or outdated statistics. It was actually helpful and decently interesting at times.

Overall: Stop cringing. This book is actually worth most of the money you're paying for it if you give it the chance. Also, try renting from Chegg instead of buying it. That helps.
