| Strategic Management and Organisational Dynamics 2nd Edition By Ralph D. Stacey, 1996 ISBN: 0-273-61375-8 520 p. $44.50 Paper As an alternative textbook on strategic management, this book attempts to compensate for the lack of a critical treatment of today's dominant conventional wisdom on the subject. It is a treatment that juxtaposes the conventional perspective of success as a state of stability with its direct opposite, success flowing from instability. This textbook therefore turns convention on its head and devotes the minor part of its contents to order, stability and lack of surprise, and the major part to the tasks of coping with and using instability and difference. |  |
