"Approach" is the right word

I used this book in my Business Strategy class this semester. I think that this book only begins to approach the material it covers. I am sure that the authors could have gone into far more detail when writing the book, but I don't think that was the purpose of the book. I think that it is intended to be an introduction to strategic management, and it does a great job of doing that. It provides an easy to read format and attractive tables and diagrams. The strategy in action, opening, and closing cases provide a helpful real-world application of the material. I think that this is a great way to provide students with an overview of the material. I learned alot from the book and the class it was used for.
