'There are two people, and only two, whose ideas must be taught to
every MBA in the world: Michael Porter and Henry Mintzberg.' -
Forbes Magazine The Strategy Process is a truly original and
authoritative strategy textbook. The author team of Mintzberg,
Lampel, Quinn and Ghoshal introduce a richness of theory and
practice into this text, offering an ideal introduction for those
who want to develop a deep understanding of strategy. Now into its
fifth edition, this text does not shy away from the complexity of
strategy but rather seeks to illuminate where it can and encourage
debate and reflection at every turn. It shows that strategy is
intimately connected with organizational politics and individual
management styles, and is firmly grounded in the real world rather
than pushing pure theory. As well as offering a comprehensive
overview of the huge body of academic knowledge in this area, The
Strategy Process encourages a practical perspective through 36
substantial case studies. From modern multinationals to the
battlefields of 19th century Europe, this book shows that strategy
is everywhere, and understanding it is essential.

Irish travellers live in a closed community. What we think we know
about them is based on hearsay, rumour and stereotype. But not any
more. Knuckle is the true story of James Quinn McDonagh - clan head
and champion bare-knuckle fighter. It's a journey from his
grandfather's horse-drawn caravan at the side of the road to the
country lanes of Ireland where he stood, fists bloodied and
bandaged, fighting a clan war that he never asked for. Two men, two
neutral referees, a country lane. No gloves, no biting, no rests.
The last man standing wins, takes home the money, and more
importantly, the bragging rights. Caught in a brutal cycle of
violence that has left men dead, houses burned and lives destroyed,
James tells a story that opens up a hidden world - revealing why
history repeats itself, and why he can never go home...
