Strategic Management

by Alex R. Miller

This is a paperback split of the theory portion, the first twelve chapters, of the hardcover second edition of Miller/Dess, Strategic Management. The revision of this successful text blends state-of-the-art theory with a wealth of carefully-chosen applications. Theories and concepts are brought to life via numerous current examples from a variety of organizations. This emphasis on actual business practice is further supported by such features as "Executive Interviews" (commissioned exclusively for use in this book and linked directly to chapter coverage) and "Strategic Management Applications" boxes. The second edition incorporates such cutting-edge topics as the learning organization, the balanced scorecard, and core process reengineering.

[Tania · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is a great text. It is filled with case studies, not only in that section but peppered throughout the text. Each chapter tackles a range of topics and explains things in a way that allows the reader to be able to apply the knowledge and techniques to real world situations. In the case study section, every case provided background for the company and the issues it faced. I felt the text was very comprehensive and easy to follow. A good number of questions at the end of each chapter stimulated critical thinking.

This was a good digital book with excellent matching online curriculum and assignments.

One of the worst textbooks I've ever been recommended. The structure of the cases, in particular, was incredibly difficult to follow. I gave up on reading the material.

Didn't have to read any of the cases, just the chapters.

Some good information. Mostly comprehensive of all of the books I've already kept during my undergrad work.
I sold it back.
