Review # 1 was written on 2010-07-07 00:00:00 Curtis Bailey An excellent read for getting one's thought-juices flowing. Pearce & Robinson put forward a very comprehensive model and theories to back it up. There are also the ubiquitous case studies, which of course prove that the model is accurate. However... for a book with a very good index, as well as a name index, where are the citations? Yes, they cite a few articles for their case studies and occasionally provide a cite for another book, there are no real footnotes and no citation index at the back of the book. For a "venerated 10th edition" textbook this omission is quite telling. What is that old snark... "The French follow no one, and no one follows the French!"

Review # 2 was written on 2016-09-05 00:00:00 Joseph Kim Strategy is everything. Finance, organisation, marketing etc. is just means. Everyone interested in management should start with strategy to gain an understanding of how everything fits together. This book is a great starting point.
