It discusses the emergence of new modes of thinking, new models, and new processes, and lays foundations on which strategy can build in future.

"Richard Bettis is one of the great contributors to current strategic thinking. This book highlights the key issues that are driving recent strategy research in complex and uncertain business environments. It helps us to understand why innovation, adaptation, learning and the management of intangible resources are at the heart of managerial decision-making for the 21st century." Susan Segal-Horn, The Open University
