Exploring Strategic Groups

This is an important book that explores the theme of cognitive strategic groups and draws conclusions on the basis of solid empirical research. Its findings cut across a convenient academic concept and, in so doing, provide an insightful diagnosis of the realities of managerial cognition and strategic management. The book develops a model of integration in strategic decision-making that manifests the context in which the practice of strategic management takes place. Now revised and updated this 2nd edition develops a model of integration in strategic decision-making that manifests the cognitive context in wich the practice of strategic management takes place, rather than relying on the assumption of homogeneity between managers perceptions of strategic dimensions. It will be of interest to all students of strategic management and economics and business, and practitioners concerned with the problems of industry analysis and its links with strategic decision-making.
