Cases in Contemporary Strategy Analysis has been developed to accompany the best-selling strategic management text, Contemporary Strategy Analysis, Third Edition. The cases in this book are distinguished by the challenging decision issues they present, by their international scope, and by their recent vintage (most present business situations from 1997 or 1998).
I use Cases in Contemporary Strategy Analysis in my Capstone course (final course) for my MBA graduate students. It provides them with excellent insight into corporate decision making and strategic planning processes. The case studies are interesting and rich for discussion. My only criticism is the world of business is so fast paced. I would have like to see an internet site or CD ROM with more current information on the companies. Many of the organizational case studies were dated 1998. A myriad of financial, economic, marketing, and strategic changes occurred since the printing of the text. Overall, I recommend the book for textbook use.
