What Is Strategy- (HBR OnPoint Enhanced Edition) - 5 stars (The Single Best Article on Strategy
What Is Strategy? (HBR OnPoint Enhanced Edition) review:5 stars (The Single Best Article on Strategy: Must-read for Business Professionals) - If you are interested in strategy, you must read this article. It is the best article exploring strategy available. The title is somewhat misleading, as Porter does not simply "define" what strategy is. He also teaches the core elements to you.
This article does not introduce all strategy frameworks; ie, there is no mention of the "Five Forces," "SWOT" analysis, or what have you. Instead, Porter focuses on the breakthrough approach used by modern companies such as SW Airlines, FedEx, and Wal-Mart: limiting the offer and focusing the value chain around a component that is truly unique from, and difficult to replicate by, existing competitors.
Having studied the entire range of "business school strategies" within the context of an MBA program, I can assure you that what Porter illustrates within this article is truly the most important, cutting-edge material.
If you read and absorb this article your knowledge of strategy will at least be equal to that of the typical MBA student, as this article is not required reading in most MBA programs.3 stars (Don't buy from audible) - Don't buy the audio version from audible.com .Their programming skills are terrible. I could not download some of the books I bought, could not burn into cd the ones I could download, and forget about making it work with an mp3 player, unless you're lucky.I know about 5 people who bought stuff from there and only one had the luck of downloading a working file and burning it successfully to a cd. The quality of the narrations is awful, at least in the books I managed to hear (only on windows media player, nothing else worked). If you're used to books on cd or tape, you're up for a big disappointment buying from audible.On top of all that, they have the worst customer service I have ever witnessed. The site was not working right when I tried to purchase there for the first time. I sent them a message with no answer. In a second attempt, I bought the stuff and some files never downloaded (which means they just stole my money and I don't know what I can do since I don't live in USA). I sent another message with no answer again. Then their weird program, which turns Windows Media Player automatically on instead of working alone, showed no compatibility to Itunes and no possibility of burning cds or dreaming about hearing books on Ipod. I sent them a third message and nothing. A fourth and guess what? Nothing again.So I am at least trying to warn other people here to avoid being caught by such scheme. I hope Amazon gets rid of audible as soon as possible. I always got great service from Amazon and the affiliated bookstores, or even other stores selling electronics, health products and others, but audible is just the worst company I ever wasted my money with. Too bad we cannot give notes to them like with the affiliated booksellers.Sorry by the poor text, I am just mad with them.1 stars (Don't waste your money!!!) - I am very disappointed after paying $7.00 and getting a PowerPoint presentation on their thoughts! Where does it explain their reasoning and justification on each point? Don't waste your money. Shame on Amazon for not explaining the product thoroughly.
