A fantastic business strategy book. I enjoyed the detail and the background information on the various frameworks and theories that are commonly applied in strategic planning. The case studies were brief and of a good variety. The outside-in, inside-out approach was accessible and relatable to many industries, including on a personal level. After reading, I put to use a number of the methods right away. It was a great way to focus at the beginning of the year.
An in-depth look at what is needed for businesses to get a competitive advantage in a post-COVID world. I read this book as a novice and found that a lot of it didn't apply to me but found myself taking notes about parts that interested me. Dr Mortlock has developed a thorough manual that businesses should take note of.
If you are looking for a book that comprehensively reviews and presents various aspects of strategic management, “Outside In, Inside Out” will excellently fulfills your expectations.
If you are looking for a breakthrough in strategic thinking, you will be disappointed.
However, I would own this book and keep it as an excellent reference.
