  • Fresh, up-to-date content:
    Strategic Management 8e has the freshest content of any strategy text, updated through 2023 and into 2024. Students will appreciate its currency.

  • Continuity across chapters
    Strategic Management 8e provides two ways to sync your strategy course from start to finish. For students it draws on the twin strategic imperatives of "value creation" and "opportunity recognition," which is referenced in every chapter. For instructors it draws on the theoretical frameworks of value chain and resource-based advantage to tie together content across chapters and the course. 

  • Practical Application
    Strategic Management 8e moves theory to practice by providing practical guidance to use key frameworks: steps in conducting an industry analysis, how to calculate industry concentration, how to conduct a value chain analysis, how to conduct a resource analysis, and more.

  • Simulation Alignment
    Strategic Management 8e aligns with key simulation dimensions, making the transition into the simulation more seamless:

    • Strategy process: analysis, formulation, implementation, evaluation
    • Industry analysis: five forces, key success factors, strategic groups
    • Value chain coordination
    • Business level strategy
    • Performance objectives
    • Performance monitoring: balanced scorecard

Instructor Resources

Strategic Management 8e offers a suite of resources to streamline your instruction and elevate the student learning experience.

Instructional Guide

The instructional guide translates the textbook content to the simulation, bridging the gap between theory and practice.

Chapter PowerPoint Slides

Powerpoint slide decks are available for each chapter of the text to reinforce key concepts. Each chapter's slide deck roughly follows the outline of the chapter itself, providing complete coverage for chapter content.

Chapter Notes

Notes provide a useful way for students to maintain a written outline of chapter content. Students have found these notes very useful as a means for reviewing important ideas from each chapter, and in studying for examinations.

Strategy Case Map

This case map was developed out of two national surveys of strategy faculty, to identify the most popular cases they used for their Strategic Management courses.

Test Bank

Instructors receive access to an extensive question bank and other testing materials that enable the effective assessment of students’ acquisition of knowledge.
