Textbook Bundle
Give students the #1 strategy text, and the arena to use it.
Pair Dr. Page West's Strategic Management, the best-selling strategy textbook on VitalSource, with Capsim's CapsimCore, Capstone, and CapsimGlobal simulations. Students learn the framework in the text, then make the calls that put it to work, for only $40 more.
The strategy text professors are switching to.
Strategic Management has led the digital strategy market for six years running, on the strength of content that's current, genuinely integrative, and the most affordable in the field.

One strategic process. Taught, then practiced.
West organizes the entire text around the strategic-management process. Capstone is where students run that exact loop, round after round, and live with what happens next.
Analyze
Read the industry, the competition, and the company's own capabilities.
Formulate
Choose a strategy: where to compete, how to win, what to prioritize.
Implement
Coordinate the decisions across R&D, marketing, production, and finance.
Evaluate
Read the results on the scorecard, then adjust for the next round.
The same four moves students study in the text, they make every round in the simulation.
Why professors choose West's text.
It was built to connect theory to practice, the same job the bundle finishes.
Integrative by design
Value-chain and resource-based theory run through every chapter, so concepts connect instead of sitting in silos.
Built to be applied
Step-by-step guidance for the same tools students use in the sim: industry analysis, value-chain analysis, financial analysis, and resource analysis.
The most current text
Contemporary company examples, updated through 2026, so the cases feel like the world students are about to enter.
Aligned to the simulation
Strategy process, five forces, value-chain coordination, business-level strategy, and balanced-scorecard performance all map cleanly to CapsimCore, Capstone, and CapsimGlobal.
