"Strategic Management" wurde speziell für Manager konzipiert, die bereits Gesamtverantwortung für ein Unternehmen tragen oder in Zukunft tragen werden. Die wesentliche Voraussetzung, die sie für diesen Job mitbringen müssen, ist eine gut entwickelte Fähigkeit zum strategischen Denken. Die Autoren haben hier geeignete Konzepte, Methoden und Techniken zusammengestellt, mit deren Hilfe diese Fähigkeit entsprechend geschult und weiterentwickelt werden kann. Dabei stützen sie sich auf Forschungsergebnisse verschiedener Disziplinen, die für das strategische Management von Nutzen sind. Schwerpunktmäßig greifen sie jedoch auf ihren eigenen fachlichen Hintergrund zurück - die theoretische und empirische Mikroökonomie und die Organisationstheorie. Die Autoren sind Dozenten an der Graduate School of Business der Standford Universität und unterrichten dort den Pflichtkurs 'Strategisches Management'. Das Besondere an diesem Buch ist, dass es sich didaktisch an diese Lehrveranstaltung anlehnt und genau auf die Bedürfnisse von angehenden strategischen Managern eingeht.

I have devoted myselfto studying the economic organization of industries related to food and agriculture for almost twenty-five years. It has been my good fortune to work at places that tolerated my gadfly approach to research. So long as I produced a few publications each year and wooed a few graduate students to share those interests, I was free to pursue an array of topics: why firms diversifY, the competitive role of advertising, strategies for selling in overseas markets, measuring market power, and many others. Although firmly anchored in the eclectic analytical framework of industrial economics and focused ...

Do the antitrust laws have a place in the digital economy or are they obsolete? That is the question raised by the government's legal action against Microsoft, and it is the question this volume is designed to answer. America's antitrust laws were born out of the Industrial Revolution. Opponents of the antitrust laws argue that whatever merit the antitrust laws may have had in the past they have no place in a digital economy. Rapid innovation makes the accumulation of market power practically impossible. Markets change too quickly for antitrust actions to keep up. And antitrust remedies are inevitably regulatory and hence threaten to `regulate business'. A different view - and, generally, th...
