- Synopsis
- "What I Didn't Learn in Business School" follows new consultant Justin Campbell as he joins an elite team hired by a chemical firm to assess the potential of a newly developed technology. Read along as Justin meets with a vice president, the second-in-command at the chemical firm. Throughout the interview, Justin learns that a particular mode of analysis is not applicable to every situation. Like any newcomer, he tries to match a case study to a real-world situation-but business is not a science. In the real world, it's often difficult to distinguish the wrong from the right approach. Different strategies, as Justin learns, have advantages and disadvantages in different scenarios. In this chapter, authors Jay Barney and Trish Gorman Clifford demonstrate how to develop real-world strategies for applying the Five Forces framework, and for using feedback to your advantage. This chapter was originally published as Chapter 3 of "What I Didn't Learn in Business School: How Strategy Works in the Real World."
