Description
How can an organization use strategy to achieve a competitive advantage over its rivals? This book addresses this fundamental issue in strategic planning with a selection of exceptional articles covering two complementary areas: techniques for developing competitive strategies, and case histories, showing how these techniques have been applied to particular situations. The authors pinpoint the crucial factors which help companies, whether smaller firms or multinationals, successfully build sustainable and profitable competitive advantage at the strategic business unit and corporate level.
