Smith, President, University of Pittsburgh at Greensburg, USA'This pathbreaking book studies the concept of strategy, surveying its development from ancient times to the present and showing how it is basic to both economic growth and the quality of life. Strategists, Kvint explains, work to find new perspectives and to project new scenarios into the future. This original, deep and practical book is a must-read for all of us who want to understand modern economies.' - Edmund Phelps, the 2006 Nobel Laureate in Economics and Director, Center on Capitalism and Society, Columbia University, USA'Kvint does a superb job of clearly explaining business strategy and the global market environment.

Strategy practitioners and their firms will gain tremendous insights from this excellent explanation of the concepts.' - Y.
