Features: This book represents a bold attempt by the author to summarize research findings on corporate strategic management from both domestic and international perspectives, focusing on the "history." The purpose of writing this book is merely to offer some assistance to strategic research in China, akin to throwing a stone into the water to test the response. It also aims to provide a comprehensive reference book for MBA and EMBA students to understand the development of strategic management thought and its latest frontiers. The book is divided into four parts: the evolution of strategic management schools, the transformation of theories on corporate growth and competition, the shift in corporate organization and leadership roles, and the academic thoughts of strategic thinkers from China and abroad. It includes fourteen chapters, such as the essence of strategy, the rise and fall of the strategic planning school, the logic of discovering strategic thought, and the origin and reality of Chinese strategic thought.
