This book was a necessary evil for a capstone MBA class.
It contains information that could be useful to someone that hasn't looked at MBA texts before, but in my case I feel like "well duh! I already know this!"

To make things worse, there are factual errors in the book that make it frustrating to read.
Furthermore (having read all of the book) the writing and grammar is awful! Didn't anyone proof read this book?

Overall, I would say that this is an OK book so far as theory is concerned - but it was rushed to go into production which brings its redeeming qualities down.

If you are looking for a graduate level introduction and explanation of strategic management concepts, this is a solid choice. If you expect nice illustrations for texts at this price point - and a readable font for those of us who can't handle small print - look elsewhere. Graduate textbook are expensive because we are a captive audience, and this book is lacking some of the nicer mechanical tools that other graduate texts have at its price range.
The material is laid out well, there aren't superfluous stories, and the progression is logical. I am likely to keep this book after the class is finished.

Even though the shipment shows that it is coming from RI the vendor had that it will take up to 3 weeks before I receive my book. I sent 5 NOTICES to the vendor without any response. I never did receive the book or notice from the vendor. I am now having to file a claim with Amazon. !!!DO NOT BUY FROM THIS VENDOR!!

I received my item on time and in the described condition. Everything smooth with my purchase.

First time to order used text books on-line. No troubles, and received within 5 days.

Item was in excellent condition, as described. Also arrived quickly - quicker than many domestic orders! Will definitely use this site again. Thankyou.

the condition is so good but it takes quite long to be in my hand
