It is in three sections; the first dealing with the nature of strategy, the next section concerns startegy and the organization and the third staregy and context. All are extensive and well written, spurring imagination and questions rather than merely detailing theories.

Also contained are well used and insightful case studies to develop the readers strategic perception.

Content is generally excellent - containing influencial articles from writers such as Porter, Andrews and the Harvard Business School which are all written in plain English tackling difficult subjects and are of enough interest even to those not studying strategy or business.

The one flaw of this book however is its appearance - all black and white - and no easy summaries or pointers. I also noticed many spelling errors.

Also as an introduction to the area readers would perhaps be advised to look else where first, or to build up some wide business knowledge, as this book can be heavy going in places.

All in all though a well put together book worthy of academic and personal use and reference to throughout its life.
