Business and Competitive Analysis: Effective Application of New and Classic Methods

Every chapter in Business and Competitive Analysis is summarized in a slide deck. Like the 24 chapters detailing the new and classic techniques of analysis contained in the book itself, the slide decks provide a condensed view of the background of the technique, its context, advantages and disadvantages, the process for applying it, an example of its application, and its unique FAROUT profile. The slide decks are purpose-designed for individuals who are using the book to train, develop and/or coach their colleagues or students, and can be most beneficial for applications in workshop or self-learning formats.

Each slide deck below is a PDF.
