Exploring Corporate Strategy

Good and clean no damaged papers

Great book. It introduces the basic concepts very well.

Book was in excellent condition

They said it was in good condition and it was. Some highlighter markings in the book but i didn't mind. There was something on the cover, I don't know what it was soap or toffee, something... but I was able to get it off. I found this purchase very affordable for my pockets and the condition was as they said.i would consider purchasing from them again if need be.

Intersting Read

Great book

I came across this book while I was doing MBA at Leeds Met Univ (UK). This book is simply an great asset, interesting case studies with comments how they best perform, flaws etc. The whole book strictly focus on strategies (Strategic Position, Strategic Option and Strategy in Action). Very apt for students and young entrepreneurs.

The textbook is excellent and insightful. As someone coming to the subject of Strategy for the first time - this book is easy to read, using simple terms and interesting material, with lots of good, clear, up to date examples - I have been completely enthused by it! I have really enjoyed reading this book and found it very useful. However - the quality of the actual book received was disappointing. Some of the pages are printed skew, some of the extreme edges have even been cut off - so that some page numbers are missing or cut in half. And the quality of the print on glossy paper is not good - if you make pencil notes as I sometimes do, and then need to erase it/change it - the eraser takes the print clean off the page with the pencil scribblings. Whilst none of these things are completely insurmountable, it does irritate me - someone who is fanatical about maintaining the pristine nature of a new book. We pay a lot of money for these textbooks, we (I) intend to use them for reference for many years to come, but one wonders how well this book will in fact stand the reglar use?! Also, the publisher has used a glossy paper type which is very awkward to read at night when your eyes are tired - my desk lamp (low energy tube) creates a shine on the page that results in some interesting juggling of the book to avoid! Whilst this makes the book look "nice" I would suggest that subsequent printings use a different paper.
