Concepts in Strategic Management and Business Policy, 15e, has continued to develop around three key themes—globalization, innovation, and sustainability— which was introduced in the previous edition. In the current order of things around the world, these three strategic issues comprise the cornerstone all organizations must build upon to push their businesses forward. In addition to this, the authors have taken a class-tested approach to strategy with new focus on environmental sustainability.
