Understand and apply the essential concepts and techniques of strategy
Fundamentals of Strategy, 5th Edition, by Whittington, Regnér, Angwin, Johnson and Scholes is a concise and easy-to-follow overview of the fundamental issues and techniques of strategy from the author team of the market-leading Exploring Strategy. This book has been updated to include coverage of the Covid-19 crisis, and provides insights and examples from a broad range of international organisations. Each chapter is complemented by a wide range of illustrations followed by an end-of-chapter case study to consolidate understanding of how the theories apply to real-world scenarios. This book will particularly suit students on short strategy courses and courses focused on strategy analysis.
'The book is easy to follow and easy to understand. It is well structured and covers the relevant issues in strategy. A strength of the book is that it has a lot of practical examples, successfully conveying to students that strategy is of practical relevance.'
