Strategic Management 2e
Description
Strategic Management: Developing Sustainability in Southern Africa
second edition provides a valuable guide to the topics that are critical to managing a sustainable organisation in southern Africa. Strategic management issues such as strategic inovation, corporate social responsibility, and strategic intent are covered. This book gives students the necessary skills for competitive
advantage and has robust, excellent accompanying case studies.
Key features
- Opening and closing chapter case studies with questions for each chapter that illustrate how to apply strategic management principles to everyday situations in organisations. Each of the 4 parts of the book also has its own illusrative case study.
- Concepts are applied in a southern African setting. Case examples deal with issues facing developing countries and assist students with
problem-solving within a southern African context rather than being restricted by examples from countries which are in a different phase of economic and political development.
- The 'Practising Strategic Management' features at the end of each chapter provide activity-based questions that encourage students to consider and apply the theory covered.
- 'Strategy-in-Action' features provide a brief synopsis that reveal how top South African organisations use strategic management principles to make positive and practical changes to their enterprises.
