"What are some of the features in Strategic Management that reinforce the three Rs? First, it is built in rigor by drawing on the latest research by management scholars and insights from management consultants to offer a current and comprehensive view of strategic issues. We reinforce this rigor with our Issues for Debate and Reflecting on Career Implications that require students to develop insights on how to address complex issues and understand how strategy concepts can enhance their career success. Second, to enhance relevance, we provide numerous examples from management practice in the text and Strategy Spotlights (sidebars). We also increase relevance by relating course topic and examples to current business and societal themes, including environmental sustainability, ethics, globalization, entrepreneurship, and data analytics. Third, we stress readability through an engaging writing style with minimal jargon to ensure an effective learning experience.
