The Strategist's Toolkit
"As managers have realized the importance of strategic analyses, we have seen a proliferation of tools and frameworks. Although each has its insight, there is little appreciation for the motivation, uses, and limitations of these tools and frameworks. By providing this appreciation, the Strategist's Toolkit better aids students and managers at reaching informed strategic choices rather than blindly following a given tool." --Myles Shaver, Professor and Pond Family Chair, Carlson School of Management, University of Minnesota"By illuminating the strengths and limitations of different strategy frameworks, the Strategist's Toolkit provides a roadmap for students seeking to understand which tools are appropriate for which tasks, and for managers seeking to translate textbook theory into real-world practice." --Bennet Zelner, Associate Professor, Smith School of Business, University of Maryland
