Excellent book for overview and most important literature
Mintzbergs Strategy Safari is an excellent book for getting an overview on current schools of strategic management and for getting the ability to distinguish between them in reading about strategic management. Schools are portrayed with their most important premises and authors together with critical opinion at the end of each chapter. Great book!

A must read if you're a student of strategic management.
If you're tired of approaching the topic of strategy piecemeal, seminar by seminar, bouncing from concept to concept, read this book. You might read this book after sifting through the assumed absolutes of decades old strategic planning procedures, in an effort to retrofit and contextualize early schools of thought. Or you may read it as a preface to understanding the fashionable strategic development theories emanating from today's academic and consulting leaders. Whatever the motivation, if you are a student of strategic management, read this book. The authors paint the clearest picture of the strategic landscape you will find in print. They've done a tremendous job of describing, comparing, contrasting and critiquing the premises and accomplishments of ten prominent schools of thought on strategic development. The book's final chapter provides an excellent summary and an overview framework for engaging in, observing or studying the strategy development process in organizations.
