Book Reviews of Strategy Safari ("Financial Times" Series)

Book Review: Good overview
Summary: 5 Stars

This book gives you a good overview of the different strategic approaches developed in the past decades. Mintzberg et al. divided the well known strategic theories in ten themes. Though Mintzberg is rather sceptical about certain themes, all pros and cons of the themes are put in a nice and structured overview. (The one thing they could improve is treat Resource Based View as a seperate theme.)
This is the best book you can read to understand strategic management themes. It digs one level deeper than the standard introductory books and tells you about the scholars and the articles they initially wrote. Since it's nice and readable too, it's a must for students of strategic management and anyone else interested in the evolution of strategy as a field of study.
