Strategic Management 8e provides two ways to sync your strategy course from start to finish.

Practical Application
Strategic Management 8e moves theory to practice by providing practical guidance to use key frameworks: steps in conducting an industry analysis, how to calculate industry concentration, how to conduct a value chain analysis, how to conduct a resource analysis, and more.
Simulation Alignment
Strategic Management 8e aligns with key simulation dimensions, making the transition into the simulation more seamless:
- Strategy process: analysis, formulation, implementation, evaluation
- Industry analysis: five forces, key success factors, strategic groups
- Value chain coordination
- Business level strategy
