Mastering Strategy an Answer to Textbook Selection Problem
After using a typical, traditional text for my grad class in Management and Strategy, I discovered Managing Strategy in Amazon. The book was an immediate hit with my students because of the way it distills concepts of strategy as presented in the typical textbook and relates them to the real world of organizations in a practical and readable fashion. I would highly recommend this work to students, faculty, and managers alike. The price is unbeatable and the buyer will have a source which can be used continually in the workplace. Perhaps this books sets a precedent for texts (although it is not the usual text) in other related fields. I would like to see such a format for organizational behavior and for leadership as well.L.

Strategic Process that Works
Mastering Strategy by Rigsby and Greco is a truly exceptional piece, which nicely blends academic thought with actionable lessons. The authors manage to superbly tie in insights from some of the world's greatest leaders and make it relevant to any industry or discipline. By managing to coalesce theories and strategies of the finest minds, they proffer forth an Organization Dynamic Model that organizes diverse and specialized disciplines into a workable and understandable framework. Read it, understand it, and most importantly, learn from it. A definite must read for anyone even cursorily involved in strategy formulation or strategic execution.
