And create Power it must, for without it your business is at risk. He explains why invention always comes first and then develops the Power Progression to enable you to target when your Power must be established: in the origination, take-off or stability phases of your business. Every business faces a do-or-die strategy moment: a crux directional choice made amidst swirling uncertainty. To get this right you need at your fingertips a real-time strategy compass to discern your true north. 7 Powers is that compass. Review: Porters Friend - While at times arcane and pedantic, this book provides a master class in strategic analysis. It impressively ties together so many threads of historical insights as to provides a new template for all business assessment. Review: Best strategy book since Sun Tzu (seriously) - This book isn't particularly polished compared to most hardcover business books. It looks like the author basically took the lecture notes from his course and published them as a book. And what a book it is! The content is pure gold. Unlike the "fad of the month" or "if it worked for me it'll work for you" or just plain "gee whiz" of many books on business strategy, the concepts and method set out in this book are highly skeptical and therefore thoroughly rigorous. The ideas feel like they've been tested in the most challenging competitive environments (the author refers to his work at the most senior levels of Netflix). The book is not always easy to absorb, and tying everything back to an equation of economic value may be more interesting in theory than in practice (the author assigns great value to this Theory of Everything integration), but the book is worth a dozen of the books churned out by business strategy consultants. If you're interested in or must understand business strategy, this lesser-known book is a must-read. It has earned a place in my permanent collection, next to Sun Tzu. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #9,288 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #8 in Strategic Business Planning #11 in Systems & Planning #17 in Strategy & Competition | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 1,219 Reviews | ## Images ![7 Powers: The Foundations of Business Strategy - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61ZScoZzPLL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Media Language, Media Format** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Porters Friend *by P***A on July 25, 2026* While at times arcane and pedantic, this book provides a master class in strategic analysis. It impressively ties together so many threads of historical insights as to provides a new template for all business assessment. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best strategy book since Sun Tzu (seriously) *by E***T on June 30, 2025* This book isn't particularly polished compared to most hardcover business books.

The main issue I have is exemplified by the Intel example. I worked at Intel in the 80s and 90s and I believe that the book missed the central role that Intel culture played in the company’s ability to execute and outperform AMD and Motorola. Otherwise great book and 20 years later still relevant ## Frequently Bought Together - 7 Powers: The Foundations of Business Strategy - Understanding Michael Porter: The Essential Guide to Competition and Strategy - Good Strategy Bad Strategy: The Difference and Why It Matters --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.be/products/60620381-7-powers-the-foundations-of-business-strategy](https://www.desertcart.be/products/60620381-7-powers-the-foundations-of-business-strategy) --- *Product available on Desertcart Belgium* *Store origin: BE* *Last updated: 2026-09-12*
