Practical Strategy is ideal
for both practitioners and students of strategy and decision science. It offers coherent
guidance to combat potentially diverse and complex strategic decisions. The book's
uniqueness is its ability to approach a broad range of strategic questions with a
pragmatic set of tools and techniques that demand logic rather than high level
mathematics. An exciting range of worked examples and a running case study help students
visualise strategic uncertainties and ensure they see the practical relevance of the
techniques suggested.
