PrefaceWhy the Need for This New Edition?The global economic recession has created a business world today that is quite differentand more complex than it was just two years ago when the previous edition of this textwas published. Thousands of businesses have vanished, and consumers have becomeextremely price sensitive and oftentimes reluctant purchasers of products and services.Very tight credit markets, high unemployment, and millions of new entrepreneurs havealso changed the business landscape. Business firms that have survived the last threeyears of global economic turmoil are today leaner and meaner than ever before.Gaining and sustaining competitive advantage is harder than ever. Social networkingand e-commerce have altered marketing to its core since the prior edition. This new edition reveals how to conduct effective strategic planning in this new world order.Since the prior edition, thousands of liquidations, bankruptcies, divestitures, mergers, alliances, and partnerships captured the news. Corporate scandals highlighted theneed for improved business ethics and corporate disclosure of financial transactions.Downsizing, rightsizing, and reengineering contributed to a permanently altered corporate landscape. Thousands of firms began doing business globally, and thousands moreclosed their global operations. Thousands prospered, and yet thousands failed in the lasttwo years as the global recession spared few. Long-held competitive advantages haveeroded as new ones formed. This new edition captures the complexity of this world business environment.Both the challenges and opportunities facing organizations of all sizes today aregreater than ever. There is less room than ever for error in the formulation and implementation of a strategic plan. This new edition provides a systematic effective approachfor developing a clear strategic plan, even in the worst of times. Changes made in thisedition are aimed squarely at illustrating the effect of new business concepts and techniques on strategic-management theory and practice.Due to the magnitude of recent changes affecting companies, cultures, and countries,every page of this edition has been updated. The first edition of this text was published in1986. Since then, this textbook has grown to be one of the most widely read strategicmanagement books, perhaps the most widely read, in the world. This text is now publishedin nine languages.What Is New in This Edition?This edition includes exciting new features, changes, and content designed to position thistext as the clear leader and best choice for teaching strategic management. Here is a summary of what is new in this edition: A new Chapter 10, “Business Ethics/Social Responsibility/EnvironmentalSustainability”; there is extensive new coverage of ethics and sustainability because thistext emphasizes that “good ethics is good business.” Unique to strategic-managementtexts, the natural environment discussion is strengthened in this edition to promote andencourage firms to conduct operations in an environmentally sound manner. Respect forthe natural environment has become an important concern for consumers, companies,society, and AACSB-International. A new Chapter 11, “Global/International Issues”; there is extensive new coverageof cultural and conceptual strategic-management differences across countries.Doing business globally has become a necessity, rather than a luxury in mostindustries because nearly all strategic decisions today are affected by global

xviiiPREFACE issues and concerns. Every case company in this edition does business globally,providing students ample opportunity to evaluate and consider internationalaspects of doing business.A new boxed insert at the beginning of each chapter showcases a company that hasdone exceptionally well in the 2008–2010 global economic recession and reveals theirstrategy.Hundreds of new examples abound in every chapter.A new cohesion case on McDonald’s Corporation (2010); this is one of the mostsuccessful, well-known, and best managed global companies in the world; studentsapply strategy concepts to McDonald’s at the end of each chapter through newAssurance of Learning Exercises.Thirty-two new tables in the chapters to better capture key strategic-managementconcepts.A revised comprehensive strategic management model to reflect the new chapters.Extensive new narrative on strategic management theory and concepts in everychapter to illustrate the new business world order.On average, 15 new review questions at the end of each chapter.Forty-eight new Assurance of Learning Exercises at the end of chapters that applychapter concepts; the exercises prepare students for strategic-management caseanalysis.Twenty-four new color photographs bring the edition to life and illustratecompanies/concepts.All new current readings at the end of each chapter; new research and theories ofseminal thinkers in strategy development, such as Ansoff, Chandler, Porter,Hamel, Prahalad, Mintzberg, and Barney are provided in the chapters; practicalaspects of strategic management, however, are still center stage and the trademarkof this text below.Twenty-nine new cases—grouped by industry; great mix of profit/nonprofit,large/small, and manufacturing/service organizations; all the cases have a2009–2010 time setting; all the cases are “comprehensive” in the sense that eachfocuses on multiple business functions, rather than addressing one particular business problem or issue; all the cases are undisguised and feature real organizationsin real industries using real names and real places (nothing is fictitious in anycase); all the cases feature an organization “undergoing strategic change,” thusoffering students up-to-date issues to evaluate and consider; all the cases arewritten in a lively, concise writing style that captures the reader’s interest andestablishes a time setting, usually in the opening paragraph; all the cases provideexcellent quantitative information such as numbers, ratios, percentages, dollar values, graphs, statistics, and maps so students can prepare a more specific, rational,and defensible strategic plan for the organization; all the cases provide excellentinformation about the industry and competitors.This edition continues to offer many special time-tested features and content that havemade this text so successful for over 20 years. Historical trademarks of this text that arestrengthened in this edition are described below.Chapters: Time-Tested Features This text meets AACSB-International guidelines that support a practitioner orientation rather than a theory/research approach. It offers a skills-oriented approachto developing a vision and mission statement; performing an external audit; conducting an internal assessment; and formulating, implementing, and evaluatingstrategies. The author’s writing style is concise, conversational, interesting, logical, lively, andsupported by numerous current examples throughout.

PREFACE A simple, integrative strategic-management model appears in all chapters and on theinside front cover of the text. This model is widely used for strategic planningamong consultants and companies worldwide. One reviewer said, “One thing I haveadmired about David’s text is that he follows the fundamental sequence of strategyformulation, implementation, and evaluation. There is a basic flow frommission/purposes to internal/external environmental scanning to strategy development, selection, implementation, and evaluation. This has been, and continues to be,a hallmark of the David text. Many other strategy texts are more disjointed in theirpresentation, and thus confusing to the student, especially at the undergraduatelevel.” A Cohesion Case follows Chapter 1 and is revisited at the end of each chapter. ThisCohesion Case allows students to apply strategic-management concepts and techniques to a real organization as chapter material is covered, which readies studentsfor case analysis in the course. End-of-chapter Assurance of Learning Exercises effectively apply conceptsand techniques in a challenging, meaningful, and enjoyable manner. Eighteenexercises apply text material to the Cohesion Case; 10 apply textual material toa college or university; another 10 exercises send students into the business worldto explore important strategy topics. The exercises are relevant, interesting, andcontemporary. There is excellent pedagogy in this text, including notable quotes and objectives toopen each chapter, and key terms, current readings, discussion questions, and experiential exercises to close each chapter. There is excellent coverage of strategy formulation issues, such as business ethi
