Tim O'Shannassy, RMIT University, Melbourne, Australia
‘FitzRoy, Hulbert, and Ghobadian have written a superbly comprehensive and up-to-date book, reflecting the latest scholarly insights and practical wisdom about strategy. This extremely readable and engaging book is loaded with examples from a wide array of industries and regions. If you want to become a more thoughtful and successful strategist, you should read this book.’
Donald C. Hambrick, The Pennsylvania State University, USA
‘Writing a great Strategy text is like cooking a five-star meal – and just as difficult. Many authors take similar ingredients and produce bland, insipid offerings: as the glazed look and mimetic thinking of legions of business students will attest. In contrast, Fitzroy, Hulbert and Ghobadian are master-chefs taking classic ingredients and adding new and unexpected ideas to produce an invigorating feast. Strategic Management: The Challenge of Creating Value is more than food for thought, it offers a rare prize: differentiated thinking.’
Dr. Pierre Berthon, Bentley University, USA
'The three Professors of Strategic Management have combined to write a comprehensive and accessible guide to their field. The text is always to the point. It follows the subject through in a clear and helpful way. It brings it to life with a number of well chosen and sometimes challenging examples... It offers a savvy combination of professional solid analysis and realistic accounts of how problems can blow up in the most strategic of companies. You will find there the usual ways of valuing, analysing and making judgements, but you will also find a healthy scepticism about individual techniques.'
John Redwood, Conservative Member of Parliament for Wokingham, UK
