Strategy in Context A Multidimensional Approach to Strategic Management

Strategy in Context represents a pragmatic and novel approach to competitive strategy and strategic thinking. It makes use of numerous examples across the public and private sectors to demonstrate strategy from three dimensions–external context, internal context, and an organisation-specific context.

This exciting new textbook explores different ways of thinking about strategy, balanced and underpinned throughout using a pragmatic perspective to address real-world strategic issues. Each chapter includes real-life short cases from a variety of sectors and regions, designed to demonstrate how theoretical concepts are used to resolve practical challenges. Through this multi-dimensional approach, this book encourages managers to be more creative and ambidextrous in their strategic thinking, harnessing the power of context to leverage the best from their organisation’s resources and capabilities.

This textbook is suitable as both recommended and core reading for postgraduate, MBA, and executive students of Strategic Management. Online resources include PowerPoint slides and a test bank.
