Dump this one!
We still use this book in Knoxville, TN, but not because of popular demand. Not updated in over a decade; old examples, old theories and unrefined concepts; excessively wordy without imparting much knowledge. Need I say more?! What are the choices? In Knoxville, not many, as Alex Miller teaches in the Executive MBA program, but elsewhere -- how about Hill or Wheelen/Hunger or Prahalad?

Stop insisting on book
Miller should stop insisting that participants in the University of Tennesee's Executive MBA programs use this outdated and wordy book with decade-old examples.

Abandoning this book
When Miller wrote this book over a decade ago, the world had still to experience the Internet boom and collapse, the Asian financial crisis, the fall of the yuppies. I used this book in introductory strategic management classes but have now abandoned it as most of my students were in primary school when it was written. This book has limited applicability and the theory needs to be polished tremendously. I understand they still use this book in Executive MBA programs at Miller's school, the University of Tennessee, though. Go figure! Similar Products
