[Said AlMaskery]

Strategy comes as different things, I was always under the delusion that it is about thinking. True it is, but then what is the use of it in your head?
This book is an opening towards practicing strategy with a lot of good case studies.

I recommend it for practitioners (i.e. managers and executives).
