Mastering Strategic Management

 

Dave Ketchen and Jeremy Short


In writing Mastering Strategic Management, the authors’ goals were simple:

 

      • Help students become more seasoned and polished public speakers
      • Emphasize the importance of ethics in communication

This textbook is suitable for these courses: Strategic Management

This textbook is suitable for 2 and 4 year institutions.


PEDAGOGICAL FEATURES:

Mastering Strategic Management is designed to enhance student engagement in three innovative ways:

      • VISUAL ADAPTATIONS OF KEY CONCEPTS:

It is well documented that many of today’s students are visual learners. Therefore, this textbook contains multiple graphic concept pages in every section of every chapter of the book. Think of graphic concept pages as almost like infographics for key concepts in each section. This feature sets Mastering Strategic Management apart from any strategic management book on the market today.

      • REAL WORLD COMPANY EXAMPLES:

Utilizing well-known, currently operating corporations such as Apple helps students harness the conceptual coverage of the chapter in a relatable application for students.

      • “STRATEGY AT THE MOVIES”:

This feature, in each chapter, links course concepts with a popular motion picture. In Chapter 1, for example, the authors describe how “The Social Network” illustrates intended, emergent, and realized strategies.
