About Strategic Management Simplified
Whether you are a manager, a founder or a strategy lead, this book gives you the methods to choose where to compete.
It covers strategy from analysis to choice to execution, one framework per chapter, each with a diagram, a worked example and a worksheet.
It follows the same method as every Business in Brief book, so each title makes the others more useful.
