This was my textbook for MBA course Strategic Management. I used it as a reference to help me get my A in the course.

Generally not bad as textbooks go, but the editing was astonishingly poor, particularly in the case studies at the end. It was riddled with spelling and grammatical errors, and had several facts that I think need checking. Pretty disappointing that such an expensive book has been edited so poorly.

It ain’t much. But it’s honest work.
