Reviews

D.E. Hussey This is the first volume of a second series of The Best of Long Range Planning (the first ran to 12 volumes). There is a real improvement in format...the publishers are using a book-sized format which offers more utility to the reader. They fit easily into a bookshelf, and this volume contains an index to the selection from the back issues of the journal... For those who do not regularly read the journal, the book offers high quality, fairly recent articles, written by high-calibre authors, that they might otherwise never have seen and which should provoke thought about the management of strategy and change.
