Your market-leading BPP books, course materials and e-learning materials do not write and update themselves. People write them: on their own behalf or as employees of an organisation that invests in this activity. Copyright law protects their livelihoods. It does so by creating rights over the use of the content. Breach of copyright is a form of theft – as well as being a criminal offence in some jurisdictions, it is potentially a serious breach of professional ethics. With current technology, things might seem a bit hazy but, basically, without the express permission of BPP Learning Media: Photocopying our materials is a breach of copyright Scanning, ripcasting or conversion of our digital materials into different file formats, uploading them to facebook or emailing them to your friends is a breach of copyright You can, of course, sell your books, in the form in which you have bought them – once you have finished with them. (Is this fair to your fellow students? We update for a reason.) Please note the e-products are sold on a single user licence basis: we do not supply 'unlock' codes to people who have bought them second-hand. And what about outside the UK? BPP Learning Media strives to make our materials available at prices students can afford by local printing arrangements, pricing policies and partnerships which are clearly listed on our website. A tiny minority ignore this and indulge in criminal activity by illegally photocopying our material or supporting organisations that do. If they act illegally and unethically in one area, can you really trust them? iii Contents Page Introduction How our Study Text can help you pass iv Features in our Study Text v Streamlined studying vi Syllabus and learning outcomes vii Studying E3 xiii Assessment xix Part A Interacting with the organisation's environment 1 Fundamentals of strategic management 3 2 Corporate objectives and stakeholders 41 3 The environment and uncertainty 95 Part B Strategic position and strategic options 4 Resources and capabilities 141 5 Identifying and evaluating strategic options 197 6 Information systems and strategy 279 7 Business applications of information and information technology 313 8 Customers and marketing 365 Part C Leading change 9 Understanding organisational change 421 10 Leading and managing change 493 Part D Implementing strategy 11 Strategic performance management 539 12 Performance measurement 591 Practice question bank 647 Practice answer bank 677 Index 731 Review form
