3.0 out of 5 stars Beware this is not the Full Book, October 24, 2007

This review is from: Strategic Management: Concepts (Paperback)

The book in itself is very good, however if you are buying it for a class beware that it does not contain any of the Case Studies that will probably be required by the instructor. Be sure and understand what your requirements are ahead of time as many of the resellers try to pass this version off for the Hardcover with the case studies.
