1. Introduction Exploring Strategy represents one of the most comprehensive packages of material and support for teachers and students of strategy. The following materials and assistance are now available: •
The text with improved design and layout to assist readers – including objectives for each part of the book and chapter learning outcomes, concept definitions, chapter summaries, additional reading and much more.
•
Over seventy illustrations and fifteen Thinking Differently sections, each including questions to facilitate their use as mini cases or class discussions.
•
Sixteen end-of-chapter case examples with specific relevance to the content of the chapter and with questions relating to the major learning issues in the chapter.
•
End-of-chapter work assignments, which provide further opportunities for student assessment, additional work or self-assessment.
•
Thirty case studies (text and cases version only) together with comprehensive teaching notes (in this manual and on the website). The case collection contains a rich mixture of material, including long and short cases from many different sectors and different countries.
•
A number of ‘classic cases’ from past editions (where they are not carried forward into the twelfth edition but are still useful to tutors and students).
•
The Strategy Experience simulation gives students hands-on experience of strategic analysis and decision making. The simulation can be used by individual students, or as part of a wider classroom exercise.
For students: •
Revision aids (flashcards, key concepts and glossary (in six languages))
•
Multiple-choice questions, work assignments and grade book
•
Help with case studies (web links, FT articles and advice on analysing cases).
