But none of the changes have altered the fundamental character that has driven the text's success over the years. The chapter content continues to be solidly mainstream and balanced, mirroring both the best academic thinking and the pragmatism of real-world strategic management. This paperback version of the text does not contain any cases, but it does include 21 readings from noted business writers that support the concepts in the main text portion.

  • buyer beware: two versions, same edition

    Turns out there are two versions of this book, both called Crafting and executing strategy, 15th edition. There are: "Text and Readings" "Concepts and Cases" Make sure you buy the right one, I am currently scrambling to find the correct one because I have an essay due monday which I hoped to work on this weekend. Today is friday, and yes McGraw Hill screwed me over.

  • Efficient Supplier

    Needed it for class, liked it because I could buy a cheap international version that is the same as the regular version!
