I have had the pleasure of reading Strategic Management during my Executive MBA classes of Corporate Strategy by Prof. H. Volberda and R. Hollen. The book has provided me with incredible insights on the topic of strategy and business models that I was able to easily apply to my own work. Especially the topics of partner and platform ecosystems has been very insightful and relevant for my own work and industry. The book provides interesting case studies of a wide variety of global and local businesses. Thanks to the steps outlined from formulating a strategy all the way to implementing has helped me tremendously in my professional life. In the past year I was able to use a lot of the material to formulate and now implement a board-level approved introduction of a freemium business model. This book is in my opinion the holy grail of strategic management and I can recommend it to anyone interest in learning more about corporate strategy, business models and innovation. -- Bram Huis in ′t Veld * Email * Strategic Management: From Confrontation to Transformation is a highly practical guide, offering a rich toolbox for implementation. It skillfully blends established theories with fresh insights, illustrated through relevant business cases. This makes it an invaluable resource for those looking to effectively navigate the complexities of strategic management. -- Joeri van der Wees * Email * Emerging technology, Corporate Social Responsibility and sustainability focus, digital transformation, business model transformation, and shifting consumer behaviours, have been influencing how companies run and direct their strategies. This book Strategic Management: From Confrontation to Transformation is a brilliant compass for business leaders to navigate in a rapidly changing world. It breaks away from the conventional strategy textbooks as it prioritizes contemporary themes, provides diverse and in-depth business cases worldwide with new ways of learning, and discusses strategy tensions and trade-offs between options. The Confront-Sense-Choose-Transform process of strategic management presents useful theoretical perspectives, concrete tools, and new perspectives, that are highly implementable in real-life business cases. I never found such a comprehensive strategic management book that is intriguing and handy. I highly recommend this book not only to anyone who dares to formulate, pitch, and transform businesses to the next level! -- Ivana Kristanti
