Here is what people are saying about the On Competition, Updated and Expanded Edition (Upd Exp Edition)
5 Star Rating  "A Must Read"2009-10-28
- Reviewed By Tom from Bristow, VA USA
I read Porter's major books: Competitive Strategy: Techniques for Analyzing Industries and Competitors, Competitive Advantage: Creating and Sustaining Superior Performance and Competitive Advantage of Nations when they were first published. When I saw this was available, I had to read it to see how he had updated the material and if his perspective was as compelling today as it was almost 30 yeas ago.

The updates, while not qualifying as a total re-write, definitely freshened and extended the material in important ways. Chapters 7 (Clusters and Competition: New Agendas for Companies, Government, and Institutions) and 8 (Competing Across Locations: Enhancing Competitive Advantage Through a Global Strategy) were especially good in their explication of the implications of clusters and their impact on competitive advantage.

The material in Parts III (Competitive Solutions to Social Problems) and IV (Strategy, Philanthropy, and Corporate Social Responsibility) was new to me and I found it to be extremely worthwhile. These chapters reflect what I think of as essential Porter, which is applying his deep understanding of competition rooted in economics to complex problems and coming up with innovative solutions.

In summary, whether you have read Michael Porter's earlier books or not, you should read this book. Michael Porter's writing is, to use Deming's term, "profound knowledge" on competition that everyone should be familiar with.
 
5 Star Rating  "Porter at its best"2009-09-19
- Reviewed By Dr. S. Johnson from Sydney, AUS
This is a classic, a must own for every business student! The quality is great and if you take the paper cover off it still looks very nice. I am very impressed with this book and it impresses others on my shelves aswell.
 
5 Star Rating  "Read Everything Mr. Porter Writes"2009-08-12
- Reviewed By Author from ClassicValueInvestors . com
Mr. Porter is an expert on competition. As a professional investor, I evaluate competitive strengths and weaknesses of companies on everyday basis. I cannot overemphasize how important Mr. Porter's writings are to my ability to pick investments that perform well. In my opinion, the first chapter is the most important one. Mr. Porter writes about five forces:

* Threat of new entrants
* Intensity of rivalry among existing competitors
* Pressure from substitute products
* Bargaining power of buyers
* Bargaining power of suppliers

These five forces can be a roadmap to determining the competitiveness of individual companies. Mr. Porter's books are long, but I highly recommend this book or any other book written by the author.

5 Star Rating  "On the Social Science of Business"2009-06-18
- Reviewed By R. Keeler Cox from Warren, OH USA
This is a big ol' book - not just by volume, but by scope - and somewhere between Parts I (on developing strategy at the individual business level) and II (on the competitiveness of locations) it dawned on me that On Competition bears similarities to On Liberty, On Democracy in America, and On Human Nature*.

Like those classic tomes, this, too, cuts across disciplinary lines, tackles big subjects, and offers powerful insights into a wide variety of social problems.

Mr. Porter's been called "the world's most important business thinker" but, as I kept learning while reading Parts III and IV, his work touches on more than just business. His own big subjects are value creation and competition; the frameworks he's developed over the years have practical implications for organizations of all kinds. (think of government and non-government organizations)

You don't need to be a social scientist to understand the work. You *do* need to have a taste for academic-style writing and argument - and it no doubt helps if you enjoy diagrams, activity maps, data tables, matrices, and other sorts of inserts. You should also have more than a passing interest in the interplay between business and society. If that's 'you', you'll find the articles in On Competition richly rewarding.

Maybe now more than ever. I think the book's most important message is that competition has the "staggering power to make things better - both for companies and for society." What better time than the midst of an economic crisis to learn that?


*by John Stuart Mill, Alexis de Tocqueville, and E.O. Wilson, respectively

Very good book. Use it in my teaching work. I just updated to the latest edition
 
5 Star Rating  "Long-term value versus short-term wealth creation"2009-04-27
- Reviewed By An Amazon User
This is an excellent book on strategy and value creation. Porter echoes my feelings on the tension between value creation and investor appeasement, "Imagine the improvement in company performance - and in the economy as a whole - if all the energy expended in "pleasing the Street" were directed toward the factors that create true economic value." If more managers would take the value-creation route over the easier and less fruitful grow-the-share-price one, North American industry would become a force to be reckoned with once again.
