Even though everyone is talking about it, there is no concept in business today more muddled than 'strategy'. Richard Rumelt, described by McKinsey Quarterly as 'a giant in the field of strategy' and 'strategy's strategist', tackles this problem head-on in a jargon-free explanation of how to develop and take action on strategy, in business, politics and beyond.Rumelt dispels popular misconceptions about strategy - such as confusing it with ambitions, visions or financial goals - by very practically showing that a good strategy focuses on the challenges a business faces, and providing an insightful new approach for overcoming them. His sharp analysis and his brilliant, bold style make his book stand out from its competitors (something that Rumelt himself says is crucial).Rumelt has always challenged dominant thinking, ever since, in 1972, he was the first person to uncover a statistical link between corporate strategy and profitability - and this is his long-awaited tour de force.
A commercial Real-Time Strategy (RTS) game requires an artificial intelligence component, simply called an "AI", capable of providing a human player with a challenging opponent. These AIs must simulate the play style of a competent human player. The AIs of current RTS games can play with multiple levels of skill. However, their simulation of a competent human player is incomplete because they cannot change their tactics to adapt to a human player.

For English speakers learning Arabic as a foreign language (L2), lexical acquisition is a major challenge. It is argued that to facilitate L2 Arabic lexical acquisition, teachers should explicitly teach learners to use the root and patterns word formation system unique to Arabic and other Semitic languages. This should raise learners' morphological awareness, which should in turn facilitate word acquisition. However, this claim has not been subjected to empirical research. The central research question of this study is: Does morphological awareness of the main word formation process of root and patterns in L2 Arabic facilitate learners' ability to infer meanings of unknown words, coin new words, and retain words?
