Economists approach but Porter is better,
By A Customer
This review is from: Contemporary Strategy Analysis (Paperback)
I bought this book because I was hoping it would provide me with good guidance in terms of how to use analysis techniques that would support my strategy consulting work. It has a heavy economists' leaning. This is both good and bad. It is good in that it gives some tried and true ways of understanding contemporary strategy. It is bad in that it misses out on the many ways and means by which non-economists understand contemporary strategy and is very thick in terms of its descriptions. It is not a "how to" book, that is for sure. Since competition today often seems to defy economic logic, this economic approach can only go so far. And there is still no better economist's approach than Professor Michael Porter's materials and this book certainly adds little to that great body of work.

Exceptional balance of concepts, techniques & applications,

This review is from: Contemporary Strategy Ananlysis - Concepts, Techniques and Applications - 4th Edition (Paperback)
Grant's book provides an exceptional balance of concepts, techniques & applications about business strategy. The most unique & impressive feature of the book is its fair analysis of various schools/approach of strategy. The content flows fluidly chapter after chapter, it's an enjoyable read. The treatment of each topic is concise with great case studies and references. The goal of business strategy - maximizing & sustaining shareholder value - has been emphasised throughout the book, which makes the book highly practical in the 'real world'.

Fair and enough to tempt me =),
By A Customer
This review is from: Contemporary Strategy Analysis (Paperback)
I was fortunated enough to attend Prof. Grant's lectures--this great book doesn't do his justice.Porter's Industry Analysis shadowed many acadamics; but with ample case studies, Prof. Grant's book provides arable spaces for readers to explore. If you are bored by the colossal fame of Porter (which he truly deserves it), this book can offer u an equally compatible panorama to investigate.
