Electrifying in its simplicity - like all great breakthroughs - COMPETITIVE STRATEGY captures the complexity of industry competition in five underlying forces. Author Michael Porter introduces one of the most powerful competitive tools yet developed: his three generic strategies - lowest cost, differentiation, and focus - which bring structure to the task of strategic positioning. He shows how competitive advantage can be defined in terms of relative cost and relative prices, thus linking it directly to profitability, and presents a whole new perspective on how profit is created and divided. More than a million managers in both large and small companies, investment analysts, consultants, students, and scholars throughout the world have internalised Porter's ideas and applied them to assess industries, understand competitors and choose competitive positions. COMPETITIVE STRATEGY has filled a void in management thinking. It provides an enduring foundation and grounding point on which all subsequent work can be built. Porter's rich frameworks and deep insights comprise a sophisticated view of competition unsurpassed in the last quarter-century.

Although this is quite an elder book, described principles and approaches can be easily applied to managerial practice. Would definitely recommend to anyone interested in management.

This book is very useful for anyone interested in organization management in our days because it shows you how to formulate a strategy that can compete.

Not many books are written on competitive advantage, and so Michael Porter's is considered to be a leading guide in such field. Would be a little intimidating to be read by the laymen. I also understand that there's a whole new branch in MBA centred on this subject alone.
