Very comprehensive overview of all different schools of thought and paradoxes in the strategy field. A must read for (aspiring) managers.

This was truly a textbook in every sense of the word. Packed full of information, but maddeningly boring. The latest edition was re-organized to better exemplify the contents. I found the readings in the back to be unnecessary. The short case studies throughout the chapters were much more effective in demonstrating the content.

I like how the author compiled the strategies and organized them to make sense of how the strategies relate and contradict with each other, rather than finding the best of all strategy, now I am more able to discern the strategy as tool to match or solve certain condition, forfeiting to find the single most excellent strategy, cause there is none
