In today's fast-changing business environment, those firms that want to remain competitive must also be innovative. Innovation is not simply about developing new technologies into new products or services, but in many cases, finding new models for doing business in the face of change. It often entails changing the rules of the game.

Strategic Innovation demonstrates to students how to create and appropriate value using new game strategies to gain competitive advantage. The book begins with a summary of the major strategic frameworks and showing the origins of strategic innovation. Next, Afuah gives a thorough examination of contemporary strategy from an innovation standpoint, including:

how to develop strategy in the face of change a detailed framework for assessing the profitability potential of a strategy or product consideration of how both for-profit and non-profit organizations can benefit from new game strategies.

With a wealth of quantitative examples of successful strategies, as well as descriptive cases, Strategic Innovation will complement courses in strategy, and technology and innovation.

Outstanding frameworks

This is a great book. Be forewarned, though, that it is not a quick business-book-of-the-week toss off. It is a serious, academic approach to the topic. The ideas Mr. Afuah presents are immediately usable no matter what level you are at within an organization. I strongly recommend this book to anyone trying to understand, or improve their understanding of corporate strategy in the modern world.

An excellent framework for processing business strategy ideas

In a very practical way, this is the book for quickly and confidently establishing the merits of ideas for the business strategy game - either to play existing games masterfully or make new rules. The concepts provide invaluable framework for incisive questioning and decision-making at strategy meetings. The numerous cases give more insight, are inspiring and fun to read.

Excellent book on business strategy

This is an excellent book for how to develop and evaluate business strategy for "new game" situations that don't line up well with traditional business strategy texts. The book has a framework that can be applied to new products and/or help with how to effectively respond to a change in technology or a competitors strategy. The cases at the end of the book provide great examples!
