Each chapter contains a boxed insert dealing with an issue in environmental sustainability.
Special sections on sustainability can be found in Chapters 1 & 3.
A Section on the natural environment can be found in Chapter 4.
Offshoring can be found inthe discussion on outsourcing in Chapter 8.

NEW! Timely, Well-researched, and Class-tested Cases: nineteen of the cases in this edition are either revised or completely new.

Special chapters deal with strategic issues in managing technology and innovation, entrepreneurial ventures and small businesses, and not for profit organizations. (Web Chapters A, B, and C, respectively) These issues, which are often ignored by other strategy textbooks, are available on the text’s Web site at www.prenhall.com/wheelen.

OTHER TOPICS OF DISTINCTION

The worksheet is designed to help students organize and structure daily case preparation in a brief period of time. This worksheet can also be used for checking the level of daily student case preparation—especially for open class discussions of cases.

Experiential Exercises: Help the reader apply strategic concepts to an actual scenario with the Experiential Exercises that are found in every chapter.

Strategy Implementation: Two chapters deal with issues in strategy implementation, such as organizational and job design, plus strategy-manager fit, action planning, corporate culture, and international strategic alliances. (Chapters 9 and 10)

Corporate Governance: This feature examines in terms of the roles, responsibilities, and interactions, of the top management and board of directors and includes the impact of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. (Chapter 2)

Social Responsibility and Managerial Ethics: Examine in detail the terms of how social responsibility and managerial ethics affect strategic decision making. This feature also includes the process of stakeholder analysis and the concept of social capital. (Chapter 3)
