PreFace

Consistent with our mission to provide students with the most current and up-to-date account of the changes taking place in the world of strategy and management, there have been some significant changes in the 12th edition of Strategic Management: An Integrated Approach.

First, our new co-author, Melissa Schilling has taken on a major role in this edition. Melissa is a Professor of Management and Organization at the Leonard Stern School of Busi- ness at New York University, where she teaches courses on strategic management, corporate strategy, and technology and innovation management. She has published extensively in top-tier academic journals and is recognized as one of the leading experts on innovation and strategy in high-technology industries. We are very pleased to again have Melissa on the book team. Melissa made substantial contributions to the prior edition, and that continues with this edi- tion. She has revised several chapters and written seven high-caliber case studies. We believe her input has significantly strengthened the book.
