Contemporary Strategy Analysis endeavors to be both rigorous and relevant. While embodying the latest thinking in the strategy field, it aims to be accessible to students from different backgrounds and with varying levels of experience. I achieve this accessibility by combining clarity of exposition, concentration on the fundamentals of value creation, and an emphasis on practicality. This tenth edition maintains the book’s focus on the essential tasks of strategy: identifying the sources of superior business performance and formulating and implementing a strategy that exploits these sources of superior performance. At the same time, the content of the book has been revised to reflect recent developments in the business environment and in strategy research.

当代战略分析力求严谨、相关。在战略领域体现最新思维的同时，它的目标是让不同背景、不同经验水平的学生能够接触到。我通过将阐述的清晰性、价值创造的基本原理和强调实用性结合起来，实现了这种可访问性。第十版将本书的重点放在战略的基本任务上：确定卓越业务绩效的来源，制定和实施利用这些卓越业绩来源的战略。同时，本书的内容也作了修订，以反映商业环境和战略研究的最新进展。
