RESUMEN

Core strategic management concepts without the excess.

Just the essentials—Strategic Management and Competitive Advantage strips out excess by only presenting material that answers the question: does this concept help readers analyze real business situations? This carefully crafted approach provides readers with all the tools necessary for strategic analysis.
Less is more. Strategic Management and Competitive Advantage has kept its streamlined look, resisting the tendency to let the text get longer with every new edition. By maintaining this approach, students develop only the most crucial decision making skills, without having to skim through pages of irrelevant bulk.

The VRIO Framework is a theory-based, multi-chapter organizing mechanism that provides a decision-making framework for students to use in analyzing business situations. VRIO integrates two existing theoretical frameworks: the positioning perspective and the resource-based view.

The fundamental concepts. Even though this text is streamlined, it still contains all the core ideas and theories essential to a strategy course. Ideas such as five forces framework, value chain analysis, generic strategies and corporate strategy are included. And because the VRIO framework provides a single integrative structure, the text addresses key issues that have been ignored elsewhere such as vertical integration, outsourcing, real options logic, mergers and acquisitions, and more.

Flexibility for students and professors. One of the great features of this text is the flexibility it allows both the student and professor. Each chapter has four short sections that present specific issues in more depth, allowing the professor and the student to adapt the text to their particular needs:

Strategy in Depth—Examines the intellectual foundations that are behind the way managers think about the practice of strategy today.
Strategy in the Emerging Enterprise—Presents examples of strategic challenges faced by new and emerging enterprises.
Ethics and Strategy—Delves into some of the ethical dilemmas that managers face as they confront strategic decisions.
Research Made Relevant—Includes recent research related to topics in the chapter.
