SUGGESTIONS FOR ADDITIONAL READINGS I have listed a number of additional readings below which complement the course.

I intentionally made sure that most of the articles should be available for free through the library. There is a vast amount of strategy related articles out there and the Strategy course is a core introduction Strategy course. But hopefully some of the readings below will help you explore some more advanced issues on your own. If none of the articles relate to topics you have a further interest in, you can always search some of the mentioned publication outlets for additional or more specific articles. Finally, some articles are not very recent, nevertheless, I think they are still relevant. A. EXTERNAL ENVIRONMENT McGahan, A. 2004. How Industries Change. Harvard Business Review.
