Exploring Strategy

• Cases and examples: A wide range of fresh and extensively revised Case Examples, Illustrations, and long Case Studies (in the Text and Cases version) engage with student interests and day-to-day experience.
• Fully updated material: we have fully revised all chapters, incorporated new research and updated references so your students can easily access the latest developments in the field.
• Practical guidance and new material: New Chapter 2 introduces students to the fundamental tools of strategic thinking, explains the use of frameworks in strategy, and guides students in case study analysis and presentations.
  
• A strong focus on non-profits, sustainability, and digital transformation: this edition features three cross-cutting themes reflecting contemporary strategic issues increasingly important and attractive to students.
• An increased appreciation of "non-Western" approaches to strategic issues: we introduce readers to concepts coming from outside the mainstream strategic thinking, such as the Jugaard innovation, ubuntu view on stakeholders, hoshin kanri, and indigenous leadership theories.
