This collection of readings, representing the historical evolution of the subject of strategic management, covers two volumes. The first provides an introduction to the roots of modern thought and proceeds to dissect more recent contributions into four schools. The discussion on the first two of these, the Planning and Practice school and the Learning school, are contained in volume one. Discussions on the latter two, the Positioning school and the Resource-Based school, are featured in volume two. It is essential that the two volumes are read in conjunction as the study is continuous and the dissection made for purely printing purposes.
