Crafting And Executing Strategy by A. J. Strickland, A.J. Strickland III, Arthur Thompson, John E. Gamble (2006)

I am still using this book in class and find it to be very well written. The topics are relevant to today's business issues and the book is readable and understandable from a common sense perspective. The case studies in the back half of the book are well selected and cover a variety of strategic management issues that all senior managers need to take into consideration in today's business environment.

Sender shipped item 4 days after purchase. Not only that but sender also shipped ground when i paid for expedited!!! I don't recomment at all

The book was in little more bad shape as told. I was disappointed on seeing the book but overall i took that by my stride

The Crafting and Executing Strategy book was in great condition. It was sent right on time and the book is perfect. It was surprising it was paperback but that works out even better. Was very impressed.

I like this text because even though it is the international version it is exactly the same as the U.S. version. It is thicker than the hardback version and as a result I think it makes it equally as heavy in weight. I bought this version for school by accident thinking I was getting the U.S. version but am pleased that there is no difference in the text.

I bought this book for school. It's got good information in it, but it's not a book to read for enjoyment. It's got two parts to it, the information part and the application part. In the application part of the book, it shows how long ago it was written. Some of the studies are dated.

Great service and speed of delivery. Book was exactly as described and arrived within a few days of order. Would order again from seller. Great transaction.

emailed me before shipping to verify that the text would be correct considering it was an int'l edition. very happy with this transaction.

I couldn't be happier. Book came in great condition as a matter of fact.. it was brand new and it was delievered within less than a week!!!!

This is a great seller. i got the book I orderd quickly and it is the correct book. Will buy from in the future.

Book was in superb condition. Brand spanking new. Would have been nice to know it was International Edition.

Received the book in good time. It is the international edition but other than being softcover , there is no difference in the content. Saved myself a lot of money. Thanks

This is ths same book that is currently in use at The University of Akron. Dr. Hallam, reviewed this version of the book and said it is the same as the hard cover edition. I beat the book store again. Everything is the same, chapters, diagrams, cases, and assignments. Thank you.

The book is easy to follow. It is written clearly. The book is understandable. The side notes are useful.

I purchased this book for a class. It is an easy read, well laid out book. However, the publishers were clearly in arush to get this volume out, and should have hit the button title "spellcheck"!

Great job! The book was sent out very fast, and the book was the same status as descripted on the website. Thanks a lot. I would choose to buy items from the same seller next time if possible.

Small prints must be large enough to read

I believe that your posting requirement should be improved; especially the small print must be readable.
In early April, I wanted to buy a book called Crafting and Executing Strategy, The Quest for Competitive Advantage: Concepts and Cases, 15th Edition. In the beginning, I checked carefully the book in several sellers; it seemed that the book they carried were the same. Later, I found a seller had better price, less total cost; this seller posted the book that looked the same that I wanted to buy because the image posted looks the same as others and they was vague and very difficult to identify the small printing words. Thus, I bought the book.
However, when I compared my book with my classmates about two weeks later, because homework was given, I found the book was different from the book for the class. The book I got was: Crafting and Executing Strategy, The Quest for Competitive Advantage: Text and Reading, 15th Edition. The one that the class required was “Concepts and Cases.” Therefore, I had to buy the book again. I did not ask for return because I was over two weeks already. The problem was not only the money that doubled my payment but also the time that I spent more on it and I had to find extra time to scan the material to catch up the class.
Now, the class is over, and I have the time to talk to you about this. Thanks for future improvement.

Best wishes,

Got exactly what I asked for in a shorter amount of time than what was listed. I'm happy I used this seller.

It is really fast for me to get the book! I did not realize that. And I know the cover of the book is a little bit different. But the main thing is the content! Thanks very much for your quick shipping~

I'm perfectly satisfied with the book because it fulfills my requirements as using it as a college textbook. However, I hardley read the book or use it because I feel it's awfully redundant and too drawn out. Certainly, the ideas within the book are very valid and founded theories with excellent correlation to real-world cases, but the chapters seem as if they could be condensed. One thing I find very positive in the book is the online tools available. The online quizzes, key points, and core concepts all seem to be the best way for me to make sure I'm retaining the material.

It is my textbook. Very good book. Includes all current and interesting cases. Very inforamtive contents are there.

I bought it to satisfy the requirements of a class as a senior in college.

Software that accompanies it is fascinating and I am learning a lot, as an online course, too.

The text is quite deep and goes beyond a 4th year college senior, I believe. Perhaps more in line with graduate students.

The book I purchased was for my son who is attending a local college. Since I am the one who supports his attendance, finding books at prices far below the school's book store is a perk that I appreciate. This is especially true when the book is in excellent shape and arrives prior to the start of the school year.

I bought this book because I needed it for my class and was really impressed with the price and also the condition of the book. It arrived in a timely matter as predicted.
Thanks
