Strategic Management and Competitive Advantage: Concepts and Cases strips out the unnecessary, by presenting material that answers the question: does this concept help readers analyze real business situations? Each chapter has only 4 short sections that cover specific issues in depth.

In the 6th Edition, updated discussions and cases, and strategic management models that have emerged over the last few years have been added. A unique approach, along with these revisions, provide you with the tools you need for strategic analysis.
