Explains key ideas.......2004-08-04

With globalisation being an increasing fact of life in many economies, people studying management issues may want to check out this text. A very up to date analysis of how to compete in a global marketplace. From deciding strategic issues like whether to outsource a corporate function, or perform it inhouse. And, if outsourcing, on what basis to decide on picking such a supplier.

The issues raised in the book are not easy to deal with. It does not make light of the complexity of succeeding. Hitt does a good job of explaining the key ideas.

Comprehensive and Insightful.......2007-10-18

This is a comprehensive book on strategic management with a focus on competitiveness and globalisation. The authors clearly, thoroughly and methodically discuss the strategic management theory and concepts and provide interesting insights, concepts, tools and perspectives for effective strategy formulation and implementation.

The book is well written, well presented and has several useful and helpful case studies that reinforces the concepts and ideas presented in the book. It is very practical and with many good examples. I would recommend strategy consultants and senior business executives to read this informative, practical and insightful book on strategic management. The book is also useful and handy for students doing an MBA or other postgraduate studies in business.

Not up to par.......2002-06-11

The textbook was used for a capstone Strategic Management course. The textbook was not written at a upperclassmen level. More like sophomore, maybe junior level at best.

More than I expected.......2002-06-05

Recevied the book within a week and was in better shape than I expected.

Perfect for insomniacs.......2001-10-30

Instead of providing information in a clear and interesting way, the authors decided to bore the readers out of their minds. The layout is poor and the sentence structure is complex and longwinded. All in all, the material is presented in a very poor fashion. Don't buy it unless the sleeping pills aren't working.

Strategic Management : Competitiveness and Globalization.......2000-09-06

I need this text for my Senior Management class. Compared to other text that I have used, I think this text has a nice look. therefor i gave it 3 stars since it meets the requirement for the class.

Book Description

Filling a void for a balanced approach to spreadsheet based decision modeling, this volume builds on the traditions and strengths of Render and Stair's Quantitative Methods for Management, a recognized and proven leader in teaching decision modeling. In addition to using spreadsheets as a tool to quickly set up and solve decision models, the authors teach how and why the methods work and combine the user's power to logically model and analyze diverse decision-making scenarios with software-based solutions. The book discusses the fundamental concepts, assumptions and limitations behind each decision modeling technique, shows how each decision model works and illustrates the real-world usefulness of each technique with many applications from both profit and nonprofit organizations. The authors provide an introduction to managerial decision modeling, linear programming models, modeling applications and sensitivity analysis, transportation, assignment, and network models, integer, goal, and nonlinear programming models, project management, decision theory, queuing models, simulation modeling, forecasting models and inventory control models. For anyone looking for a balanced approach to spreadsheet based decision modeling.

Book Description

In 1850 St. Louis was the commercial capital of the West. By 1860, however, Chicago had supplanted St. Louis and became the great metropolis of the region. This book explains the rapid ascent and the abrupt collapse of the Missouri city. It devotes particular attention to the ways in which northeastern merchants fueled the rise of St. Louis. But unlike most studies of nineteenth-century cities, the book analyzes the influence of national politics on urbanization. It examines the process through which the sectional crisis transformed the role of Yankee merchants in St. Louis's development and thus triggered the fall of the first great city of the trans-Mississippi West.

Very Valuable.......2003-06-19

A professor of mine required this text for class, and I loved it! It is simply a collection of articles published throughout the year on the subject of marketing. These are topics and views that you don't see in any marketing textbook! I plan on buying every new addition even though I have graduated because they are so relecant and it will certainly impress collegues when you can reference articles from such various publications.

What better way to avoid holiday crowds than shopping on the Web? But with so many choices out there, how do you know if you're buying from a reputable dealer or some fly-by-night operation that'll make off with your credit card number and never be heard from again? The Official Best of the Web Shopping Guide 2001 aims to put your mind at rest with its thorough rating system and practical suggestions for how to find your best online shopping experience.

Each of the 16 chapters discuses a separate type of item; from auctions and apparel to videos and vitamins, you'll find everything covered thoroughly. Between five and 15 sellers are rated under every category, with overall scores tied to customer service, return policy, ease of use, variety offered, and price in relation to value. Simple shaded score charts in each chapter provide the seller's overall score, and the page number where you'll find a lengthier review that discusses each site's strengths and weaknesses. To help you decide which of the sites is best for you, each chapter also provides a list of questions to ask yourself in order to determine what type of experience you require. If you're a regular buyer who likes personal assistance, one site may be better for your shopping than the impersonal giant that happens to offer better prices. On the other hand, if price is your top concern, better avoid the pricier boutiques, even if they offer free gift wrap.

What you won't find here are special or unique sites you've never heard of. From Toys R Us to Charles Schwab (and, of course, Amazon.com), the sites listed here tend to be biggies that have been around for a few years, with established reputations and familiar products or services. If you're hunting for a helpful guide to reputable online retailers, this is an excellent choice. --Jill Lightner

Good stuff.......2000-10-12

I wish I'd thought of it! A book that shows you which are the best Web sites -- I always thought it would be great to flip through paper pages to research online sites. After a couple of days with this, I already feel like an e-commerce expert.

Great Reference Guide.......2000-10-12

I found this book easy to use (especially for an Internet beginner like me). I bought it last week and am using it as a reference guide (not sure it would be much fun as a straight read) to start my holiday shopping online. It's fun to be part of my children's generation using this technology (and they can't believe how much I know now because of the help this book provides :)

Gomez provides a level of confidence for online consumers.......2000-10-10

Gomez has always provided a wealth of information online about e-commerce, and the quality of their sites. Here they provide a more indepth look at these sites for those who still like their information printed on paper.

I found the book provided me with easy access to information about where to invest, bank, and buy online. As we try to wade through the overwhelming number of consumer sites online this is a must have.

I found this book extremely helpful.......2000-10-10

I picked up a copy because I loved the job Gomez.com does rating web sites. I am a relative newcomer to the internet (about 6 months) and this book does a good job giving a general overview of different types of sites and some really helpful tips on how to shop and invest online. I highly recommend it.

Gomez Best Web Guide 2001.......2000-10-09

Gomez Best web has done all the work for me. It is easy to read and look up information that I do not have time to do myself. Gomez has taken selected industries and focused on them. They are providing the essential information important to consumers. Thanks!
