       introduction to the analysis process; then they walk you 
       through ten core sets of analysis techniques that every 
       manager can use effectively. You'll master classic 
       techniques like SWOT analysis and Porter's Five Forces, in
       addition to the latest approaches to competitor, financial,

       political, and macroenvironmental challenges that will 
       increasingly shape the future of your business. For each 
       tool, the authors present clear descriptions, context, 
       rationales, strengths, weaknesses, step-by-step 
       instructions, and case study examples. The result: a book
