The book was good and in good condition. Only thing which I did not like was that it was delivered late when I required it urgently.

Strategic Planning Textbook, 2008-05-05
Excellent book for strategic management course. Along with the workbook, this textbook is a good resource for those developing and implementing strategic plans in public service and nonprofit organizations.

Good Book but a bit dry, 2007-10-02
This is a dry but business-like book that presents all the essentials of strategic planning for public and nonprofit organizations. The book is well organized with concepts well explained. The book provides comprehensive coverage of the practical planning techniques and processes for those working for the common good. The author correctly highlights the critical importance of the link between strategic planning and leadership. John Bryson presents a useful planning process called "the Strategy Change cycle" which is a handy model successfully used in some public and nonprofit organizations.
This is a thoughtful, useful and helpful reference and guide book for those working in government, social workers or managers in non-governmental organizations. After reading the book, you will be clear about the differences between strategic planning process in the private sector and in the public and not-for-profit organizations. You will also learn how to reduce the costs of providing services whilst improving the quality of those services.
The book is well illustrated with insightful examples which will help practitioners learn about successful strategy formulation and implementation.

 dry reading material, 2007-01-07
This book, although required for the course I was enrolled in, was overall a waste of money. The reading material was very dry, making it a pain to follow. I learned more by showing up for class, taking good notes and involving myself in the group discussions, than what I learned from attempting to ingest the contents of this book.
