Theoutcomes that come from analyzing an organization also determinethe extent to which the organization will strive to bean innovator as opposed to being a follower.CONTENTSPART ONE: MANAGING STRATEGICALLY Chapter 1: Strategy BasicsChapter 2: External Analysis Chapter 3: Internal Analysis PART TWO:MAKING MOVES Chapter 4: Timing and Positioning Chapter 5: Mergers,Acquisitions, and Divestitures Chapter 6: Globalization Chapter7: Innovation and Entrepreneurship PART THREE: REPOSITIONINGChapter 8: Continuous ReinventionSTRATEGY: ANALYSIS AND PRACTICEText and CasesBy Howard Thomas, John McGee and David Wilson of Universityof Warwick2005800 pagesISBN-13: 978-0-07-710705-5 / MHID: 0-07-710705-5 (Text only)1200 pagesISBN-13: 978-0-07-710706-2 / MHID: 0-07-710706-3(Text and Cases)McGraw-Hill UK TitleWebsite: www.mcgraw-hill/textbooks/mcgeethomaswilsonA hotly-anticipated new textbook brings strategy up-to-date witha fresh and vibrant approach.
