In Strategic Decisions, Planellas and Muni accurately and succinctly summarize thirty of the most widely used strategic models, including Porter's Five Forces, Maubourne and Kim's Blue Ocean Strategy, and Chesbrough's Open Innovation. For each model, they demonstrate the content, context, and application, using clear and eye-catching graphics.
