Book was listed as 'very good' condition, but when it arrived the cover had stains, creases and folds, and a small tear on one edge. It was packaged ok and the packaging was not damaged, so this was not something that happened during shipping. I messaged them and they replied quickly and instructed me to initiate a return through eBay. I was refunded the full price in less than an hour. Great customer service!

  • Good and useful

    The book had good content and it was easy to read. It didn't come with a code in the back that allows access to the online supplements. The accompanying online powerpoint presentations are laborious in nature and a little hokie with excessive use of clip art.

  • Crafting and Executing Strategy, 16th International Ed

    I purchased this text for an exit course at the University of South Florida. It was a required purchase of the new edition for the university. This text is an excellent means of learning corporate strategy and how it is formed. The Case Studies at the end of the text are quite inclusive and informative. They allow the user to apply the concepts and ideas in a practical manner. There are literally hundreds of books on strategy, but this text utilizes current companies and topics. You can purchase access to online quizzes and case analyses, but my class did not do this. I think the add-ons would be a useful addition to the text.

  • generally a good book to read

    I'm going for an MBA, this book was requested only two weeks before the course started! the local bookshopes didn't have it in stock so I ordered it on ebay. the books topics are organizted in an easy to follow way, presented in a neat and tidy way with all the referals needed. at first I thought the price was exaggurated but honestly it was worth it!

  • International Student Edition

    This book is exactly like the hardback US edition, but it was a fraction of the cost. The only difference was the book had a softcover and a different picture. Everything else was exactly the same. Great buy for the bargain shopper!!

  • Just a good text book

    soft cover for a decent price, same as hard cover US edition. Book is all right, i don't care for content, but I have to take the course to graduate.
