This review is from: Crafting and Implementing Strategy: Text and Readings (Paperback)

Well, I had to buy this book because it was required for one of my management courses. However, since it was my one and only strategic management book, I don't have a frame of reference except with other course texts. As such, it seemingly did an adequete job in prodiving the necessary information. There were times when the professor did have to supplement the text with outside sources, but not too much. The text overall was a little dry, but not overly so- heh, not like my economics books =) (I was an economics undergrad major) If anything, I wish the book utilized more specific corporate examples in its attempt to explain concepts- And perhaps a larger review in strategic tools (such as 5 forces) would have been helpful.
