Strategic Management and Cases to Accompany Strategic Management

Author: Jeffrey S Harrison

Strategic Management of Resources and Relationships provides a realistic, balanced view of the field. It draws heavily from the resource-based perspective that firms can develop competitive advantages through the acquisition, development and management of resources. It also uses stakeholder theory to help explain when firms should form partnerships, the form they should take and how to manage them. Finally, this book contains the most relevant theory and models from the traditional approach to strategic management. Consequently, combining the resource-based view and the stakeholder view with traditional theory and models provides a very complete, comprehensive and managerially useful perspective of strategic management.
