Strategic Management: Value Creation, Sustainability, and Performance is the fastest growing strategy textbook in the United States since 2019 and is now in use at roughly 100 colleges and universities. It is the leading strategy textbook on the world’s leading digital textbook hosting and distribution platform. Used by business schools to teach the capstone strategy course, the book “combines theory and practice in a novel integrative approach to the study of strategic management,” according to the publisher. “Emphasizing the value chain and resource-based sustainability as central integrating concepts, it also draws on the twin ‘strategic imperatives’ of value creation and opportunity recognition as recurrent themes that help to synch ideas from cover to cover. Examples from strategy development in highly competitive environments illustrate how traditional theoretical principles and analytical frameworks apply to today's dynamic business climate.”
