Strategy will always include opportunity and risk

Surprisingly, many of the unknown industries will exist. 3. ...

Perhaps I missed a few classes along the way, but as a family physician, I thought I understood theory and theory development. That was until I really started thinking about it.

McGraw Hill Higher Education, 2007

Great case studies
If you have gone through business school, most of the information provided here are fairly generic. But what I love about this book is the numerous examples and case studies that it offers from Krispy Kreme to FedEx to McDonalds. Its analysis is right on the money and it teaches you how to modify your own strategies and operations.

Managerial Economics and Business Strategy

Michael R. Baye

McGraw Hill Higher Education, 2008

Very helpful
I have never been too crazy about or never been good at economics, but after reading this book, I feel I understand the real-world economics better. For a novice like me, it is relatively easy to follow the contents because it's full of examples from real business world. I assume this book will be satisfactory to more "academic" readers too because the book still doesn't fail to cover real ...

Wiley, 2006

great book
Actually, this book is used as a text book in Competitive Strategy courses at U. of Chicago. Kudos to Dr. Besanko for writing such an interesting well-grounded book. Kellogg may not appreciate his writing and use this book and his other book as textbook, however, here at U. of Chicago, we do. I have enjoyed reading this book and his other book of Economics.

I reviewed this book for the publisher (prior edition)

No cancer patient should be without this book
I so far have taken one piece of advice from this book and it has improved my quality of life so much that I can't wait to try more. I am undergoing some really rough chemo treatments. Round 1 chemo left me achy and pretty much in bed for most of a week. My doctor told me there was nothing they could do for the fatigue. I looked at Dr. Blaylock's book and he recommended a supplement called ...

Makers of Modern Strategy
"Makers of Modern Strategy" is a scholarly collection of high quality papers on strategy since Machiavelli to the present nuclear age. The beauty of the book is that one can focus on the era that one is interested in.

Avinash K. Dixit, Susan Skeath

W. W. Norton, 2004

Excellent introduction to game theory
This is a fantastic introduction to game theory. I'm in a graduate-level game theory course with a much more confusing textbook, and this one has enabled me to learn the concepts more clearly. Once I study the text and examples in Dixit & Skeath, I'm comfortable moving on to the harder problems in my other text. I definitely recommend this book to anyone interested in learning game theory -- ...

In addition to basic mental health crisis intervention, the book primarily focuses on crisis response, crisis planning, and other concepts introduced to the general public by FEMA and HRSA after the events of 9/11. I suppose if you are not familiar with the planning component, and do not ...
