Strategic management is considered a pioneering field in business administration and managerial thought. It is also an evolving and renewable science that harmonizes with the pace of life, moving in continuous steps with cognitive, technical, and technological development. Many studies and research papers have been presented in this cognitive and philosophical field, diversifying ideas and proposals to encompass all the perspectives, trends, foundations, concepts, and future visions this management discipline holds, especially for business organizations.

It is no longer beneficial for organizations, with their various activities and orientations, to rely on primitive or traditional methods in managing their affairs amidst the massive and rapid development in the business world, which witnesses intense and fierce competition to secure an advanced position in the market. The hope is to obtain a market share that ensures the organization's growth and survival in the competitive arena. According to this vision, business organizations must think strategically to find advanced ways and means to advance their reality in all areas of their activity. This means there is a need for administrative leaders who possess modern visions with creative strategic thinking, capable of implementing their own experiences and field practices, supported by broad knowledge of others' experiences and trends in management thought in general, and strategic management in particular.

Giant global corporations have made great strides in the development of managerial thought, methodology, and practices. Even small companies have adopted the same approach, leading them to have unique experiences and accumulated knowledge that has become a supportive resource in competition and a feature they rely on to enhance success. Here, it is necessary to point out that our organizations, across their various activities and fields of work, are in dire need of developing their information, knowledge, and work methods, and developing their human resources to keep pace with the features of development and knowledge in today's world. They must also abandon old and confused administrative methods in favor of a comprehensive and integrated advanced strategic thought that enables them to achieve their desired goals and objectives.

Based on the above, this book comes to provide readers, researchers, students, and managers interested in this cognitive field with a roadmap, modern trends, and ways and means to rely on a strategic management capable of making the business organization continue its success, growth, and persistence in competitive markets.

Since strategic management is a modern and contemporary administration in philosophy, thought, methodology, and application, the author found it important to present other contemporary administrations, hoping to create a state of coherence, objectivity, and a kind of integration between strategic management and contemporary administrations such as empowerment management, change management, paradox management, and negotiation management. To deepen the benefit and create a sequential presentation, this book has been divided into six main parts containing eighteen chapters as follows:

• Part One: Dedicated to the basics and principles of strategic management, including three chapters.
• Part Two: Focuses on strategic formation and environmental analysis, also with three chapters.
• Part Three: Covers strategy as formulation, alternatives, and choices, with three chapters.
• Part Four: Allocated to strategic implementation and control, comprising three chapters.
• Part Five: Analyzes case studies, with two chapters.
• Part Six: Discusses contemporary administrations, featuring four chapters on empowerment, change, paradoxes, and negotiation management.
