3.0 out of 5 stars
Great Nuggets of Information--Just Hard to Get To,
This review is from: Readings in the Strategy Process (3rd Edition) (Paperback)
Mintzberg is a brilliant strategist, and due to the extensive knowledge, it is hard at times to get to point of the concept. In some cases, the information is provided in almost elementary style, which is not bad, but most of the writings are very hard to digest. I did learn a great deal from this book, but I admit, I will have to reengage it again to get the full benefit.

Solid reading, but hard work,
By
This review is from: Readings in the Strategy Process (3rd Edition) (Paperback)
Don't expect a textbook on how to develop strategy (although, expect a similar result). Well thought-out and structured set of readings that provide insight into the process of developing strategy, from SWOT and Rumelt analysis (Conistency, Consonance, Feasibility, Advantage) through organizational structure and Entrepeneurship.However, I found the readings extremely hard work to read. It may be inexperience, but (especially in the early chapters), the readings simply take a LONG time to do (and I'm not a slow reader). A nice addition might be a more comprehensive summary of the readings at the start or end of each chapter. Overall, I go with a 3-star, mainly because of the reading difficulty more than the actual content.
