Fundamentals of Strategy, 5th Edition, by Whittington, Regnér, Angwin, Johnson and Scholes is a concise and easy-to-follow overview of the fundamental issues and techniques of strategy from the author team of the market-leading Exploring Strategy. This book has been updated to include coverage of the Covid-19 crisis, and provides insights and examples from a broad range of international organisations.
