Preface

Why Adopt This Text? this textbook is trusted across five continents to provide managers the latest skills and con- cepts needed to effectively formulate and efficiently implement a strategic plan—a game plan, if you will—that can lead to sustainable competitive advantage for any type of business. the association to advance collegiate Schools of Business (aacSB) international increasingly advocates a more skills-oriented, practical approach in business books, which this text provides, rather than a theory-based approach. Strategic Management Concepts and Cases: A Competitive Advantage Approach meets all aacSB international guidelines for the strategic-management course at both the graduate and undergraduate levels, and previous editions have been used at more than 500 colleges and universities globally. We believe you will find this sixteenth edition to be the best textbook available for communicating both the excitement and value of strategic management. concise and exceptionally well organized, this text is now available in english, chinese, Spanish, thai, german, Japanese, Farsi, indonesian, indian, Vietnamese, and arabic. a version in russian is being negotiated. in addition to universities, hundreds of companies, orga- nizations, and governmental bodies use this text as a management guide.

an MBa student using this text recently wrote the following:

Dear Dr. David: i am in the midst of my MBa at adams State University here in colorado. i’m 7 of 12 classes in with a 4.0 average. as a result, i’ve been through about 14 textbooks (not to mention the 60 or so i went through for my BBa at the University of california (Uc)-Berkeley. this is the first time i’ve written to the author of a textbook. Why? Because the David book is by far the best textbook i have ever used. it’s clear. it’s accurate. it’s not full of opinion masquerading as fact! You, sir, are to be commended. Usually when i spend an insane amount of money on a text, i’m broke. But your text is worth every cent, and i’ll keep it forever. Well done sir! respectively, eric Seiden, MBa Student in Littleton, colorado (august 10, 2015)

eric n. Sims, a professor who has used this text for his classes at Sonoma State University in california, says:

i have read many strategy books. i am going to use the David book. What i like—to steal a line from alabama coach nick Saban—is your book teaches “a process.” i believe at the end of your book, you can actually help a company do strategic planning. in contrast, other books teach a number of near and far concepts related to strategy.

a recent reviewer of this textbook shares his opinion:

One thing i admire most about the David text is that it follows the fundamental sequence of strategy formulation, implementation, and evaluation. there is a basic flow from vision/mission 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 their presentation, and thus confusing to the student, especially at the undergraduate level.

New to This Edition 1. this 16th edition is 40 percent new and improved from the prior edition. 2. a brand new COHESION CASE on the Hershey company (2015) is provided. Hershey

is one of the most successful, well-known, and best-managed global companies in the world. Students apply strategy concepts to Hershey at the end of each chapter through new, innovative assurance of Learning exercises.

3. Brand-new one-page MINI-CASES appear at the end of each chapter, complete with ques- tions designed to apply chapter concepts. Provided for the first time ever in this text, the mini-cases focus on the following companies: chapter 1: Kroger company chapter 2: Walt Disney company chapter 3: coach chapter 4: Buffalo Wild Wings chapter 5: Linkedin chapter 6: Starbucks chapter 7: Hilton Worldwide chapter 8: alibaba chapter 9: tJX companies chapter 10: avon Products chapter 11: Domino’s Pizza

4. Original, half-page ACADEMIC RESEARCH CAPSULES are presented in each chapter to showcase how new strategic-management research is impacting business practice. two capsules per chapter are provided—for the first time ever in this text.

5. at the end of each chapter are new sections titled IMPLICATIONS FOR STRATEGISTS and IMPLICATIONS FOR STUDENTS that highlight how companies can best gain and sustain competitive advantages.

6. Brand new EXEMPLARY COMPANY CAPSULES appear at the beginning of each chapter and showcase a company that is employing strategic management exceptionally well. the capsules focus on the following companies: chapter 1: apple chapter 2: H&r Block chapter 3: chipotle Mexican grill chapter 4: netflix chapter 5: Signet Jewelers Limited chapter 6: Smith & Wesson Holding corp. chapter 7: Papa John’s international chapter 8: Foot Locker chapter 9: nike chapter 10: chick-fil-a chapter 11: alcoa

7. chapter 2, the Business Vision and Mission, is 60 percent new, due to current research and practice that reveals the need for “these statements to be more customer-oriented.”

8. chapter 11, global and international issues, is shortened by 30 percent but provides new coverage of cultural and conceptual strategic-management differences across countries. Doing business globally has become a necessity in most industries.

9. chapter 10, Business ethics, Social responsibility, and environmental Sustainability, provides extensive new coverage of ethics, workplace romance, flirting, hiring away rival firms’ employees, wildlife welfare, and sustainability. “good ethics is good business.” Unique to strategic-management texts, the sustainability discussion is strengthened in this edition to promote and encourage firms to conduct operations with respect for the environment—an important concern for consumers, companies, society, and aacSB international.

10. Sixty-four unique ASSURANCE OF LEARNING EXERCISES appear at the end of chapters to apply chapter concepts. the exercises prepare students for strategic- management case analysis. an additional excellent exercise for each chapter is provided in the Chapter Instructor’s Resource Manual.

11. More than 200 new EXAMPLES bring the chapters to life. 12. at the end of chapters are 78 new (459 total) REVIEW QUESTIONS related to chapter

xviii PREFACE

15. an enhanced, continually updated AUTHOR WEBSITE (www.strategyclub.com) pro- vides new author videos, case and chapter updates, sample case analyses, and the popular, Free eXceL StUDent teMPLate. the template enables students to more easily develop strategic-planning matrices, tables, and analyses needed for case analysis.

New Case Features 1. all 30 cases have a 2015 time setting, offering students up-to-date issues to evaluate. 2. all 30 cases focus on exciting, well-known companies, effective for students to apply strat-

egy concepts. 3. all 30 cases are undisguised, featuring real organizations in real industries using real

names (nothing is fictitious in any case). 4. all 30 cases feature an organization and industry undergoing strategic change. 5. all 30 cases provide ample, excellent quantitative information, so students can prepare a

defensible strategic plan. 6. all 30 cases are written in a lively, concise writing style that captures the reader’s interest. 7. all 30 cases are “comprehensive,” focusing on multiple business functions, rather than a

single problem or issue. 8. all 30 cases include current financial statements for the firm, so students can show the

impact of a proposed strategic plan. 9. all 30 cases provide an organizational chart and a vision and mission statement—

important strategy concepts. 10. all 30 cases are supported by an excellent teacher’s note, provided to professors in a new

Case Instructor’s Resource Manual. 11. all 30 cases are available for inclusion in a customized tailored text to meet the special

needs of some professors. 12. all 30 cases facilitate coverage of all strategy concepts, but as revealed in the new

16. all 30 case companies have excellent websites in english that provide detailed financial information, history, sustainability statements, ethics statements, and press releases, so stu- dents can easily access current information to apply strategy concepts.

Time-Tested Features 1. this text meets all aacSB international guidelines that support a practitioner orientation

rather than a theory/research approach. it offers a skills-oriented process for developing a vision and mission statement; performing an external audit; conducting an internal assess- ment; and formulating, implementing, and evaluating strategies.

Why Is This Text Different/Better Than Other Strategic-Management Texts? Strategic Management Concepts and Cases: A Competitive Advantage Approach is by far the most practical, skills- oriented strategic management textbook on the market. this text is designed to enable students to learn “how to do strategic planning,” rather than simply memorize seminal theories in strategy. Students using this text follow an integrative model that appears in every chapter as the “process” unfolds. Students learn how to construct strategic planning matrices, such as the Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and threats (SWOt) and the Boston consulting group (Bcg) matrices. readers also learn how to perform strategic-planning analyses, such as earnings-per-share/earnings-before-interest-and-taxes (ePS/eBit) and corporate valuation. the focus throughout this text is on “learning by doing.” this overarching, differentiating aspect has been improved with every edition and has led to this text becoming perhaps the leading strategic- management text globally, now available in 10 languages. the practical, skills-oriented approach is manifested through eight specific features:

1. a cohesion case that appears after chapter 1 with 64 end-of-chapter assurance of learning exercises, many that apply concepts to the cohesion case, thus allowing students to gain practice doing strategic planning by performing analysis. no other strategic-management textbook provides a cohesion case or an array of end-of-chapter exercises.

2. a strategy formulation analytical framework in chapter 6 integrates nine widely used planning matrices (iFeM, eFeM, cPM, SWOt, Bcg, ie, SPace, granD, and QSPM) into three stages (input, Matching, and Decision), which guide the strategic-planning process in all companies. Firms gather strategic information (input), array key external with internal factors (Matching), and then make strategic decisions (Decision).

3. a far wider coverage of strategy topics than any other strategic-management textbook, for two primary reasons: (a) as firms formulate and implement strategies, a wide variety of functional business topics arise and (b) as the capstone, integrative course in nearly all Schools of Business, strategic management entails students applying functional business skills to case companies.

xx PREFACE

4. this text provides 30 comprehensive, exciting, exceptionally up-to-date cases designed to apply chapter concepts as students develop a strategic plan for the case companies. For example, every case includes (a) the company’s vision/mission statements (if the firm has one); (b) the company’s by-segment revenue breakdown (since allocating resources divi- sions is perhaps the key strategy decision made by firms); (c) the company’s organizational chart (since structure is a key strategy topic); and (d) the company’s financial statements so students can show the impact of a proposed strategic plan on a firm’s financial state- ments. thus, the cases take a total-firm, multifunctional approach, which by definition is the nature of strategic management. in addition, this text offers end-of-chapter mini-cases to further apply chapter concepts.

5. More coverage of business ethics, social responsibility, and sustainability is provided in this text than in any other strategic-management textbook, including topics such as bribery, workplace romance, devising codes of ethics, taking a position (or not) on social issues, and wildlife welfare—topics that other textbooks do not mention, even though companies continually face strategic decisions in these areas.

6. this text offers more coverage of global/international issues than any other strategic- management textbook, including topics such as how business culture and practice vary across countries, as well as how taxes, tariffs, political stability, and economic conditions vary across countries—all framed from a strategic planning perspective.

7. the conversational, concise writing style is supported by hundreds of current examples, all aimed at arousing and maintaining the reader’s interest as the “process” unfolds from start to finish. the unique writing style is in stark contrast to some strategic-management books that seem to randomly present theory and research for the sake of discussion, rather than material being presented in a logical flow that emulates the actual practice of strategic planning among companies and organizations.

8. this text is supported by outstanding ancillaries, including author-developed manuals, and an author website at www.strategyclub.com that offers practical author-developed videos, templates, sample case analyses, special resources, and even a Facebook page for the text.

the Case rationale case analysis remains the primary learning vehicle used in most strategic-management classes, for five important reasons:

1. analyzing cases gives students the opportunity to work in teams to evaluate the internal operations and external issues facing various organizations and to craft strategies that can lead these firms to success. Working in teams gives students practical experience in solving problems as part of a group. in the business world, important decisions are generally made within groups; strategic-management students learn to deal with overly aggressive group members as well as timid, noncontributing group members. this experience is valuable because strategic-management students are near graduation and soon enter the working world full time.

2. analyzing cases enables students to improve their oral and written communication skills as well as their analytical and interpersonal skills by proposing and defending particular courses of action for the case companies.

3. analyzing cases allows students to view a company, its competitors, and its industry con- currently, thus simulating the complex business world. through case analysis, students learn how to apply concepts, evaluate situations, formulate strategies, and resolve imple- mentation problems.

4. analyzing cases allows students to apply concepts learned in many business courses. Students gain experience dealing with a wide range of organizational problems that impact all the business functions.

5. analyzing cases gives students practice in applying concepts, evaluating situations, formu- lating a “game plan,” and resolving implementation problems in a variety of business and industry settings.

the Case MyLab testing Feature as revealed in the concepts by cases matrix, student learning of 30 key strategic-management concepts can easily be tested by using the 30 cases. the new case MyLab testing feature assures that the cases are excellent for testing student learning of the key strategic-management concepts, thus serving as a great mechanism for professors to achieve aacSB’s assurance of Learning Objectives. this new testing feature simplifies grading for professors in both tradi- tional and online class settings.

the case MyLab testing feature includes 25 multiple-choice questions for each case, com- prised of 10 Basic questions that simply test whether the student read the case before class, and 15 Applied questions that test the student’s ability to apply various strategic-management con- cepts. in addition, there are 2 Discussion questions per case. this testing feature enables profes- sors to determine, before class if desired, whether students (1) read the case in Basic terms, and/ or (2) are able to Apply strategy concepts to resolve issues in the case. For example, the MyLab case Basic question may be: in what country is SaBMiller headquartered? Whereas a MyLab case Applied question may be: What are three aspects of the organizational chart given in the SaBMiller case that violate strategic-management guidelines?

the New Concepts by Cases Matrix all 30 cases facilitate coverage of all strategy concepts, but as revealed by purple cells, some cases especially exemplify some key strategy concepts. the purple cells reveal which concepts are tested with multiple-choice questions in the MyLab. the concepts by cases matrix enables professors to effectively utilize different cases to assure student learning of various chapter concepts. note from the purple boxes that two, three, or four cases are used to test each strate- gic-management concept. this new, innovative ancillary promises to elevate the case learning method to new heights in teaching strategic management.
