    5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Book Mar 3 2004
    By A Customer
    Format:Hardcover
    I was fortunate enough to be a student of Linda Swaynes @ UNC Charlotte. We were the first class to use this book. Not only was Ms. Swayne excellent at what she taught but the book was a tool that explained the theories in nice detail. I continue to use the book as a resource. I am currently a hospital CEO.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Both conceptual and practical tools April 11 2007
    By Thomas H. Pike - Published on Amazon.com
    Format:Hardcover
    This is an outstanding book. While naturally oriented to strategic management of health care it is also a comprehensive framework to strategic management in general. The book's layout is that of a university textbook but it is also written in an enjoyable style. I read this book as a practitioner and not a formal student and found it extremely readable and helpful. The authors present both conceptual and practical tools for strategic management.
