In a very practical way, this is the book for quickly and confidently establishing the merits of ideas for the business strategy game - either to play existing games masterfully or make new rules.

The concepts provide invaluable framework for incisive questioning and decision-making at strategy meetings.

The numerous cases give more insight, are inspiring and fun to read.

This is a great book. Be forewarned, though, that it is not a quick business-book-of-the-week toss off. It is a serious, academic approach to the topic. The ideas Mr. Afuah presents are immediately usable no matter what level you are at within an organization.

I strongly recommend this book to anyone trying to understand, or improve their understanding of corporate strategy in the modern world.

This is an excellent book for how to develop and evaluate business strategy for "new game" situations that don't line up well with traditional business strategy texts.

The book has a framework that can be applied to new products and/or help with how to effectively respond to a change in technology or a competitors strategy.

The cases at the end of the book provide great examples!

Dr. Afuah's book again and again forms the basis of how many of us perceive strategic innovation in the forest carbon field. By approaching businesses from a complex systems framework, Dr. Afuah has provided us with a critical first step in how frame, implement, and actualize critical first-movers in the field of sustainable finance, forest carbon, and climate change risk management.

It is an excellent book that deserves numerous deep reads.
