Best Book which combines Economics and Strategy July 15, 2004
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
Truely outstanding book. Comprehensive coverage of the economic reasoning behind strategic decisions. Shame most consulting firms may have never heard of this. If there is only one book in your life you want to read about strategy and economics then this is it.
Sadly, a "6 stars" rating isn't available... July 11, 2003
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
Well, I have read many books on strategy and organization but none has been so thorough, exciting and intuitive as this! Insisting on "the need for economic principles", the authors explore a considerable number of topics in industry evolution and firm dynamics in a very consistent, analytic and understandable manner. In contrast to most books adopting a purely qualitative analysis that disorients most serious strategy readers, this book provides a thorough quantitative arsenal for analyzing effectively and consistently almost every possible business situation... In brief: If you think business is a game, then this book is definitely its Manual.
THE MBA book on "economical" Strategy January 30, 2000
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
Excellent book! The book covers (all) the aspects of Microeconomics/Strategy in a fantastic and very readable manner. Ok, there's quantitative stuff, but kept down to a minimum. Personally, one of the view "must buy" text books in strategic management.
A complete and diversified analysis of strategic issues... March 1, 1999
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
Covers the main issues of Strategy that corporations and individuals must analyse before making a new investment. Gives lots of examples and simple, but very comprehensive, theoretical and mathematical applications. The use of industrial economics and microeconomics models are very soft and fitted with the subject covered. Above all, it's a strategy book that covers the main issues and theories with a educational sense of organisation and sequence.
Fantastic! March 16, 1998

Well beyond the touchy-feely strategy approach, this book explores the details behind the economic reasoning of strategic decisions of the firm. Many examples, and theory that really forms the backbone of strategy. Excelent chapters on dinamics of pricing rivalry, isolating mechanisms of competitive advantage, vertical and horizontal integration, strategic positioning and more. Cover the basics and the advaced strategy knowledge in a well written manner. Very good MBA textbook.
