"Practicing Strategy" is a groundbreaking new textbook focusing on the strategy-as-practice approach, which considers strategy not only as something an organisation has but something which its members do. Key features: the first textbook to use the insights from the research from a strategy as practice perspective to start informing managerial practice; packed with case studies; and learning features include chapter summaries and discussion questions. By bringing together a number of distinctive investigations of strategy practice, this book will enrich our understanding of the dynamic process through which organizational strategies are created and executed. Practicing strategy will be an invaluable text for postgraduate students of strategy, strategic management and related modules. A companion website with additional resources for students and lecturers is available for this text. (Amazon website).
