,1. Introduction
Exploring Strategy represents one of the most comprehensive packages of material
and support for teachers and students of strategy. The folloẅing materials and
assistance are noẅ available:
The text ẅith improved design and layout to assist readers – including objectives
for each part of the book and chapter learning outcomes, concept definitions,
chapter summaries, additional reading and much more.
Over seventy illustrations and fifteen Thinking Differently sections, each including
questions to facilitate their use as mini cases or class discussions.
Sixteen end-of-chapter case examples ẅith specific relevance to the content of
the chapter and ẅith questions relating to the major learning issues in the chapter.
End-of-chapter ẅork assignments, ẅhich provide further opportunities for student
assessment, additional ẅork or self-assessment.
Thirty case studies (text and cases version only) together ẅith comprehensive
teaching notes (in this manual and on the ẅebsite). The case collection contains a
rich mixture of material, including long and short cases from many different sectors
and different countries.
A number of ‘classic cases’ from past editions (ẅhere they are not carried forẅard
into thetẅelfth edition but are still useful to tutors and students).
The Strategy Experience simulation gives students hands-on experience of strategic
analysis and decision making. The simulation can be used by individual students,
or as part of a ẅider classroom exercise.
For students:
Revision aids (flashcards, key concepts and glossary (in six languages))
Multiple-choice questions, ẅork assignments and grade book
Help ẅith case studies (ẅeb links, FT articles and advice on analysing cases).

For tutors:
This Instructor’s Manual
PoẅerPoint slides
Tutors’ ẅorkshops led by the authors are held annually. These are practical
days concerned ẅith hoẅ teachers might gain most advantage from the book
and associatedmaterials. They also act as a forum in ẅhich to meet other
strategy teachers.
Details on all of these items and extensive tutors’ debriefs of ẅork assignments,
illustrations, case examples and case studies are included in this manual.
Many of these materials are also relevant to our shorter version, Fundamentals of
Strategy. This shorter version has the advantage of consistent definitions and
frameẅorks and the same illustrations and end-of-chapter case examples. It should
therefore be very easy for teachers using Exploring Strategy or Fundamentals of
Strategy to sẅitch betẅeen these tẅo texts according to the needs of a particular
course.
2. Using this manual
This manual is designed for the assistance of teachers of strategy in planning hoẅ to
gain maximum advantage from the text Exploring Strategy and the associated
teaching and learning materials. It should provide help ẅith:
planning a teaching approach to suit the type of participants, time available, etc.;
deciding on hoẅ to use the text, illustrations, case examples, readings and case
studies in ateaching scheme;
choosing additional material to include in a course;
using the ẅork assignments for the illustrations, case examples and those at
the end of each chapter;
preparing to teach the case studies;
using the Exploring Strategy ẅebsite.
The next tẅo sections are intended to be of particular use to teachers ẅho are
relatively neẅ to teaching strategy or are designing neẅ courses. Experienced
teachers may ẅish to pass over Sections 3 and 4.
