PROMINENT PERSON ’S WORDS REFLECT ON STRATEGIC MANAGEMENT



Saya membongkar lemari buku dan menemukan sebuah buku lama, Strategic Market Management, Edisi 5 karangan David Aaker. Sepengetahuan saya buku ini sudah di edisi ke-7 pada tahun 2004.

Saya membaca sekilas table of content dan scanning bab demi bab. Hal yang menarik saya - tentu saja selain mengingatkan pengetahuan saya, buku ini dilengkapi dengan kutipan kalimat dari orang-orang terkenal pada awal setiap babnya. Kutipan kalimat tersebut merefleksikan isi dari bab tersebut.

Pak David ini adalah Professor Emeritus di Haas School of Business, University of California, Barkeley. Gelar PhD dan Masternya diraih dari Stanford University.

Saya tidak membahas isi dari buku ini, silakan membaca bukunya, bahkan kalau tidak keberatan, siapapun anda saya ingin dipinjami dan ingin membaca edisi yang terbarunya

Silakan Anda merenungi, merefleksikan dalam pekerjaan dan kehidupan professional Anda.
