As a blogger, I recently had the pleasure of reading the book "Understanding Strategy in a week" by John Thompson. This book is part of the Teach Yourself series, which is designed to provide readers with a crash course in a particular subject. In this case, the subject is strategy, and the book promises to help readers develop a deeper understanding of this critical business concept in just one week.

Overall, I found this book to be an excellent introduction to the world of strategy. The author does an excellent job of breaking down complex concepts into easy-to-understand language, and he provides plenty of real-world examples to illustrate his points. I particularly appreciated the section on the different types of strategies, such as cost leadership, differentiation, and focus. Thompson does an excellent job of explaining these concepts and how they can be used to gain a competitive advantage.

One thing I appreciated about this book was its brevity. At just over 100 pages, it's a quick read, and it doesn't waste any time getting to the point. This makes it an excellent resource for busy professionals who don't have a lot of time to devote to reading.

That being said, I do think that the book could have benefited from a bit more depth in certain areas. For example, the section on strategic planning felt a bit rushed, and I would have liked to see more discussion on how to implement a strategic plan. However, this is a minor quibble, and overall, I found the book to be an excellent resource for anyone looking to gain a better understanding of strategy.

In conclusion, I would highly recommend "Understanding Strategy in a week" to anyone who is looking to develop a deeper understanding of this critical business concept. The book is concise, easy to understand, and packed with valuable insights that will help readers think more strategically in their work and personal lives.
