Description
Covering all the core elements that business students need to know about the economic dimension of strategy, this text offers a fresh approach by also placing strategy in its social, political, and organizational context. Students are introduced to the links between strategic management and strategizing processes on the one hand and organizational politics and power relations on the other. The book integrates concerns about ethics and globalization, and corporate social responsibility and sustainability, to provide a provocative and critically engaged approach to understanding strategy in the post-financial crisis world.
