Great, fast, affordable

I ordered this book for an accelerated MBA Class and was quite pleased with
the price and speed of shipment. I would highly recommend this seller based on this individual experience.

Nothing good to say, except

the picture on the front cover is very nice. As far as the text goes, you are better off waiting for the movie. This is three or four pages of information drug out into a full book. Yikes.

Could be Better

The text is very heavy on the theory and provides a good background in the subject matter. Less pompous writing style could make it more readable. There are numerous spelling errors and instances of the words confused (tack instead of track, stricture instead of structure). Maybe upcoming editions will be better.

Really disappointing and useless.

This book is really disappointing. When the it was delivered at home, I thought the box was empty: the book is as thin as a magazine!
The content is very theorical, completely useless for executives.
Maybe OK for students who have no clue at all about what strategy is, but definitely useless for executives.

Good Book Overall

This book paints a good landscape of the evolution of strategy management over time. Even though the book has only 6 chapters the material is somewhat dense. I found myself doing a lot of re-reading to understand the details. Its extremely comprehensive though if you have a strong background in strategy and/or are pursuing your MBA and its you last semester.
If you're the average joe blow who's trying the understand the basics of strategy management I'm sure there are easier books out there you may want to read.
