These principles traverse a wide range of scenarios, such as strategic changes implemented by companies, resource allocation decisions--especially towards building durable assets--and resource acquisition through inorganic means. The book adopts a reader-friendly approach by teasing out the lessons to be found in detailed cases studies from interesting companies. The writing minimizes jargon while maintaining rigor, especially with regard to the applicability and relevance of the strategic principles to different business contexts"--Provided by publisher UR - https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/book/10.1002/9781119199281 ER -
