<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Using a discursive approach, the third edition provides a fresh perspective on strategy from an organizational perspective, featuring key theoretic tenets and emphasizing the practices of strategy. <br/><p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Providing a fresh perspective on strategy from an organizational perspective through a discursive approach featuring key theoretic tenets, this text is also pragmatic and emphasizes the practices of strategy to encourage the reader to be open to a wider set of ideas, with a little more relevance, and with a cooler attitude towards the affordances of the digital world and the possibilities for strategy's futures. The key areas of Strategy take a critical stance in the new edition, and also include areas less evident in conventional strategy texts such as not-for-profit organizations, process theories, globalization, organizational politics and decision-making as well as the futures of strategy.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><em>Strategy: Theory and Practice</em> speaks to me. The book offers an insightful introduction to the key theories and topics of strategic management. Unlike most other textbooks, it is written from a critical perspective, which is very much needed in today's world of grand challenges and wicked problems. <br/>--Eero Vaara<br><br><p>Once again, Clegg, Pitelis, Schweitzer and Whittle provide an exciting and accessible introduction to business strategy that will engage students and provide them with a relevant and insightful understanding of a key topic.</p> <br/>--Thomas B. Lawrence<br><br><p>This book is a detailed compendium of ideas in the field of strategy, including especially criticisms of core constructs and theoretical linkages. Full of examples, questions, and study guidance, it deals with the challenges of setting strategies for non-profit organizations and governments as well as for private-sector actors. Students and practitioners interested in the theory and practice of strategy will find this book to be a great resource.</p> <br/>--Professor Anita M. McGahan<br><br><p>This updated and extended third edition of Strategy: Theory and Practice</em> is an excellent textbook that manages to translate the latest strategy knowledge into a form and language that is accessible to students and practitioners alike. A refreshing alternative to the traditional, economics-based strategy textbook!</p> <br/>--Professor David Seidl<br><br>This book offers all the basics that business students need to know about the economic and organizational sides of strategy in an appealing easy-to-read format complete with exercises, and mini-cases while stepping outside the run of the mill by provoking critical reflection on established ideas and placing the tools and concepts in perspective. The chapters on the politics, processes and practices of strategy are particularly valuable. <br/> <br/> We need more textbooks like this to ensure that future generations of managers become informed yet reflexive consumers of strategic management knowledge and ideas. </p> <br/>--Ann Langley<br>
