    About this ebook

    How to make managing strategy easy and exciting

    Learn to understand some of the more complex aspects of strategic management in a simpler context.

    If you are interested in understanding strategic management in greater detail, but you are just not in the mood for those stale academic written, hard to understand, boring textbooks, then this book is just for you.

    If you are simply looking for additional information and wish to supplement your existing knowledge in strategic management, well then this book is for you.

    For the sake of covering both angles, this book includes the academic writing, as well as simpler written interpretations of the same information. The non-academic people amongst us, or simply those who will benefit from a simpler side of things can benefit none the less.

    With a pinch of salt, a dash of garnish, this book will help you understand some of the in-depth parts of the strategic management paradigm.

    You may at some parts feel that you have completely lost your way, but fear not. As I have, and many before us, you will survive the journeys into the paradigms of the business management empire.

      Why I Wrote This Book

      I wrote this book because, I felt that in so many cases where people do research studies and/or research papers in general, either for self-enrichment or as part of a study purpose towards a certified outcome, these research papers seem to get lost in the cracks. During my studies I came across a philosophy that stated that; A scholar during their undergraduate degree, merely summarizes and compares the knowledge from the greater pool of knowledge, whereas a scholar studying towards a master degree, searches and tests these collections of knowledge and verifies the information in the greater pool of knowledge, whereas, the Ph.D. scholar is the one that contributes and grows the pool of knowledge.

      For many years I believed this philosophy, however, as time passed I realized that even the least expectant individual can significantly contribute to the knowledge pool and feed the inquisitiveness of the information hungry souls. Thus I have decided it a fitting choice to publish the research that I had done for the various business projects during my studies. I can only hope that you would not only find this information useful but that you find the book enjoyable.

      Why You Should Read This Book

      If you are interested in understanding corporate strategy and strategic management, but you are just not in the mood for those stale academic written, hard to understand, boring textbooks, then this book is just for you.

      If you are simply looking for additional information and wish to supplement your existing knowledge of strategic management, well then this book is for you.

      For the sake of covering both angles, this book includes the academic writing, as well as simpler written interpretations of the same information. The non-academic people amongst us or simply those who will benefit from a simpler side of things can benefit none the less.

      With a pinch of salt, a dash of garnish, this book will help you understand some of the in-depth parts of strategic management paradigm.

      You may at some parts feel that you have completely lost your way, but fear not. As I have, and many before us, you will survive the journeys into the paradigms of the business management empire.

      Understanding the Book

      The standard text such as this will contain academic style writing with citations and arguments. This is where the facts are defined in great detail. If you prefer to read the fact in their original context, I have included a bibliography at the end of this book for your perusal.

      The highlighted text such as this is aimed at the audience that wishes to have a simpler understanding of the topic, and in a way that can simply be retold or re-quoted easily.

      Strategic Management Concepts and Principles
