Strategy
Critical Perspectives on
Business and Management
Edited by: David Faulkner
Introduced by:
David Faulkner
Whilst there are a wide number of competing definitions of strategy there is a consensus
about its importance, about its ability to determine whether a company succeeds or fails.
This is the most comprehensive collection to date on all aspects of strategy.
The collection:
explores different conceptions of strategy, from the classical, rational models of Porter,
through the empirical, emergent emphasis of Mintzberg, to the competence based models of
Grant and others
considers the relationship between strategy and other subjects including economics and
organizational studies
covers key new developments including scenario planning, networks and strategic groups and
knowledge
looks at the implications of globalization and international management
examines key strategic decisions including diversification and mergers and acquisitions
With a new introduction by the editor and an extensive index this collection will prove an
invaluable reference tool and teaching aid.
