No contest. The Rise & Fall of Strategic Planning .” Tom Peters, managment guru Strategy is the most prestigious but also the most confusing part of business. Managers are constantly bombarded with new jargon and the latest fads promising the magic bullet for every strategic problem. The world of strategy can seem to be an impenetrable jungle. Strategy Safari presents a powerful antidote to the dilemma of needing to know about strategy and yet not being able to find any comprehensible guidelines. This revised edition is a comprehensive, colourful and illuminating tour through the wilds of strategic management. In this provocative, jargon-free and extremely readable guide, top strategy authors Mintzberg, Ahlstrand & Lampel clearly set out and critique each of the ten major schools of strategic management thinking to help you grasp what you really need to know. Take the strategy safari – your business will thank you for it. Review: Great book to get an overview about Strategy - Certainly one of the best books I ever read about Strategic Management! Mintzberg, Ahlstrand and Lampel succeeded in providing a comprehensive overview about strategic management. Most text book on strategic management are focusing on a general introduction to Strategic Management, internal/external analysis, strategic options, strategy formation and the like. Mintzberg and colleagues turn this approach around and focus on "schools of thoughts" rather than the mentioned linear approach. This helped me to gain a much better overall understanding over the subject by seeing the different perspectives. Furthermore the authors do not only "blindly" depict the major concepts and thinkers on strategy, but give to each school of thoughts their own advantages and disadvantages. Certainly one might not always agree on their comments but it makes the reader think and form his/her own opinion. I guess this is an indented outcome by the authors. What I further liked is the detailed referencing to academic work. This gives the chance to dig even deeper into the topic if necessary respectively wished. Last but not least a word of caution: For practitioners who look for a practical guide and a quick-fix to their strategic problems might be disappointed. Review: Must read - I'm a participant of a master programme in enterprise architecture at inno.com and this book has given me a tremendous and fast insight in the evolution of strategic thinking. I consider this a must read for everyone who wants to understand how different people look at strategic thinking over time. It is not imposing anything but is excellent in helping you to get a personal view on how to see strategy. A must have & a must read ! ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #1,768,720 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #1,056 in Strategy & Competition #2,738 in Systems & Planning #8,163 in Business Management (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 out of 5 stars 135 Reviews | ## Images ![Strategy Safari: The complete guide through the wilds of strategic management (2nd Edition) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/6176RJ9srqL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great book to get an overview about Strategy *by M***D on March 17, 2011* Certainly one of the best books I ever read about Strategic Management!

It's a great book that breaks down two decades of research on strategy, categorizing them into ten schools; then gives the pros & cons of each. ## Frequently Bought Together - Strategy Safari: The complete guide through the wilds of strategic management (2nd Edition) - Blue Ocean Strategy, Expanded Edition: How to Create Uncontested Market Space and Make the Competition Irrelevant - Strategic Management: Concepts ISE --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/45880778-strategy-safari-the-complete-guide-through-the-wilds-of-strategic](https://www.desertcart.us/products/45880778-strategy-safari-the-complete-guide-through-the-wilds-of-strategic) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-06-24*
