This title includes coverage of key topic areas in this fast-moving discipline such as internationalization, mergers, innovation and entrepreneurship, and corporate strategy and diversification. It is written for students of strategic management at all levels.

Brings together the underlying concepts, analytical methods, processes of development and problems of corporate strategy, enabling readers to understand the role of corporate strategy within a variety of organizations and providing guidance in the formulation and implementation of strategy.

In his introduction to this book on corporate strategy, Richard Whittington makes the point that the great number of published books on strategic management all cover much the same ground and present similar recipes for success, and few indulge in self-questioning. If it was really as easy as that, managers would only need to read a few books in order to ensure they never make mistakes. Reality, however, is that in the world of business many of the most well-accepted models of strategic action have met with spectacular failure.

Focusing on strategic thinking, this text delves into critical issues related to organizational operation, growth, and innovation. The inclusion of longer case studies in the Text & Cases edition enhances students' understanding of managerial perspectives, providing them with valuable insights into real-world applications of strategic concepts.
