Provide an accessible approach : An Organised Framework to Integrating Strategic Management Research. The first chapters of this text develop a framework (summarised in Chapter 5) that is used as an organising script for the rest of the chapters. Within this framework, each of the chapters focus on the specific strategic options that firms choose in order to gain competitive advantage--rather than base the information on the different types of competitive environments firms may face. Put it all together : Strategy Formulation and Implementation, Combined. In order to effectively evaluate the quality of a firms strategy formulation, its also vital to analyse the specific strategy that the firm is trying to implement. To help, starting in Chapter 6, this text thoroughly analyses the strategy in question, which is then followed by an outline of the actions a firm must take in order to implement the strategy effectively. Capture interest : Enduring Accessibility. The material presented in this text was carefully selected to help spark students natural curiosity and provide them with a basis to apply the concepts to.

Highlight what matters : Chapter Summary and Review Questions. Students often have a difficult time pinpointing the most important elements of the reading. The end-of-chapter summaries in this text highlight the key issues discussed in the chapter, while the review questions encourage readers to go beyond understanding the concepts and see the implications involved in managing real firms.
