Business Policy and Strategy: An Action Guide, by Robert Murdick, R. Carl Moor and Richard H. Eckhouse, attempts to tie together the broad policies and interrelationships that exist among the many functional areas which undergraduate students typically study.  The authors intend the text to supplement the typical case book and/or computer simulations used in teaching business strategy (ix).  Situational analysis is presented, as is a structure for developing strategy.  Practicality and real world experience is combined with educational theory to provide as complete a picture as possible of strategy in business.
          The authors have divided the text into 15 chapters with no further subdivisions. It is possible, however, to group the chapters into specific areas of study.

The text concludes with an appendix of symbols used by those who evaluate reports and a general index to topics within the book.
The authors make good and frequent use of charts, graphs, forms and other graphic techniques to illustrate their points.  Each chapter concludes with a selected bibliography that the student may use for additional research.  The book is printed entirely in black ink; the use of color for key concepts would have enhanced the book'...
