In this work, designed for researchers, MBA students and final year business undergraduates, the authors set out to identify, consider and compare some of these differing theories. From economic, psychological and sociological perspectives the book shows how strategy is replete with a rich and diverse range of viewpoints that should lead to a better understanding of the field itself. In order to help the reader navigate through the book, each chapter follows a consistent, coherent structure and, with the use of mini case studies, helps bridge the link between theory and practice.
