Strategy Bites Back (0273693468)

Invites you to encounter a diverse and unlikely set of voices with something sharp to say about strategy,  from Michael Porter and Peter Drucker to Coco Chanel’s "little black dress". Taken together these perspectives will provide you with new and dramatically different angles from which to attack the world of strategy.

 

Strategy Safari(027656368) sets out to provide an answer. In this colourful primer, Henry Mintzberg, Bruce Ahlstrand and Joseph Lampel draw together diverse strands of strategic thought into ten distinct schools.  In a final chapter they seek to blend the schools together; pointing out however that a truly unified theory may not be possible or desirable.
