STRATEGY: Winning in the Marketplace is the newest offering from proven authors Thompson,
Gamble, and Strickland. As in previous works, the authors' mainstream presentation
includes the most recent research in strategy presented in a way that students can
understand and apply to business cases and problems. With fewer chapters and pages and
shorter cases than previous texts by these authors, this new first edition offers a more
concise, lively, and user-friendly presentation of strategic management. Fundamental
strengths of Thompson/Gamble/Strickland text treatments are very much evident in this
first edition-a compelling presentation of Porter's Five-Forces model and globally
competitive markets and first-rate coverage of strategy execution and the drive for
operating excellence. Another hallmark of this new product is the package of
Thompson/Gamble/Strickland cases and related teaching notes. Over the years, this author
team has developed a great network of case authors and is able to select from the cream of
the crop. Having written scores of cases themselves and having a combined experience of 70
years teaching this particular course, they are very skilled in selecting the types of
cases that will spark student interest and generate lively classroom discussions. Many of
the cases reflect high profile industries, companies, products, and people that students
will have heard of, know about from personal experience, or can easily identify with. The
new case line-up features an exciting collection of the latest and best cases flush with
valuable teaching points and lessons for students.
Features
- Thompson/Gamble/Strickland's
Strategy: Winning in the Marketplace is the perfect answer for instructors who are
desperately searching for a streamlined text for their course, something shorter that can
readily be covered in one semester and that won't overwhelm students.
- Thompson/Gamble/Strickland's
Strategy: Winning in the Marketplace provides a streamlined presentation of core concepts
and analytical techniques; students and professors alike appreciate the succinctness of
the material (9 chapters, or approximately 300 pages of chapter concepts).
- Excellent cases and superior
case notes have long been a hallmark of the Thompson/Gamble/Strickland products. This new
work is no exception to that well-established rule. In addition to all-new cases,
Strategy: Winning in the Marketplace places an emphasis on shorter cases; most are under
20 pages and many are under 15 pages.
- Chapter discussions cut
straight to the chase about what students really need to know and understand. However, the
authors have been careful to ensure that there's plenty of substance in these discussions
and ample rigor to stimulate student learning.
- This new work integrates
important material on internet business models and strategies throughout; this is because
so many companies worldwide have incorporated ebusiness technologies, blurring the
distinction between traditional companies and dot-com enterprises. However, the
distinctive elements of the strategies of dot-com enterprises are given thorough
treatment.
- Strategy: Winning inthe
Marketplace is pedagogically rich. In addition to short 'strategy-in-action' capsules
which bring examples of real-world domestic and international companies into the text
discussion, this new work features interesting end-of-chapter exercises which instructors
can use as a partial substitute for case assignments. A terrific interior design enhances
readability and comprehension and includes more figures and graphics than previous works
by these authors.
