South-Western College Publishing has just published our text, "Strategize!
Experiential Exercises in Strategic Management". It is a text consisting
of 17 Strategy Sessions that give students practice in applying models and
concepts from the strategic management course. Each Strategy Session opens
with a precisely stated learning objective, followed by a short reading
that frames the theory or concept, and then features the exercise. Some of
the Strategy Sessions require teams, whereas others may be completed on an
individual or team basis, depending on instructor preference.
The Strategy Sessions are content oriented, and may be used as breaks away
from straight lectures, as segues to case discussions, as homework, as
collaborative assignments, as lecture launchers, or as preclass case
preparation. The text also features an industry analysis of the mature
lodging industry and the rapidly changing information systems industry.
These industry profiles are used as background information for several
Strategy Sessions, and they also serve as examples of industry overviews
for case and project assignments.
The instructor's manual for this text is an important resource. It
includes detailed guidelines for active intervention by the instructor,
additional material for instructor's use in class, and suggested
assessment instruments for each Strategy Session to be administered after
each exercise, if so desired.
Please contact the South - Western representative for your area to order a
review copy of the text. Please feel free to contact us with
questions or comments.
