Test bank for Strategic Management and Case Analysis (2025)

Abstract

The Strategic Management and Case Analysis test bank includes 803 peer-reviewed, multiple-choice questions which correspond to topics taught in the business open textbook, Strategic Management and Case Analysis (2025) by Anderson, Buengel and Simpson, freely available under (CC BY-NC-SA 4.0). Between 20-100 applied and conceptual multiple-choice items are available for each chapter and cover topics from the book. Question items are also identified by subsection (e.g. 1.1, 1.2, etc.) of Strategic Management and Case Analysis. NOTE: This is NOT the test bank for Kennedy's Strategic Management (2020). Click here for the instructor-only test bank aligned to Kennedy's 2020 text. While this test bank has substantive overlap it contains additional topics and organization out of scope for the Kennedy text. Further, questions are aligned to match chapter numbers, with test items removed and others added to fit Anderson's content. Questions copied verbatim from the 2020 test bank retain the same QID number within the test bank. PLEASE READ: INSTRUCTIONS FOR TEST BANK ACCESS Please complete steps 1-3 below.
