Quelques extraits choisis:
- Strategic management is a mean of modern management, focused on changes and amendments to be made in the organization and within its interactions with the environment in which it operates, in order to avoid situations in which goods and services provided by the organization, their production and sale, entire activity become outdated, inconsistent in relation with produced changes

Il est vrai que dans la vision du Strategic management qui nous est présentée, l'information n'est pas au centre de l'attention. Mais à part cela, les différences semblent minimes. Notons aussi le regard des auteurs sur:
- les limites du strategic management
- quelques guidelines pour une pratique effective du strategic management
