With an emphasis on global advantage, the text offers a comprehensive examination of regional and international issues to provide a complete, accurate and up-to-date explanation of the strategic management process. New coverage on environmental concerns and emerging technologies as well as examples and cases from Australia, New Zealand and Asia-Pacific serve to engage students while updated international content demonstrates how strategic management is used in the global economy. The text takes a ‘resource-based’ approach, which requires the examining of a firm’s unique bundling of its internal resources. This text is appropriate for upper-level undergrad, usually third year; post grad in Masters courses.
