Strategic Management Dynamics is a development of Kim Warren’s successful ‘Competitive Strategy Dynamics’ – winner of the 2005 Jay Wright Forrester Award for contributions to System Dynamics.  This new book is more than a ‘second edition’, it is substantially extended to increase its usefulness to teachers and students of Strategy and other management topics.  Strategic Management Dynamics provides a complete framework in the field of Strategic Management. It combines theory with clearly illustrated examples to examine the concept of financial performance and the tools that can be used to improve it. The book goes on to highlight the importance of other factors that affect performance including staff turnover, competition, and so on.
