战略管理作为工商管理学科的重要课程，旨在培养学生站在企业高层管理者的角度，通过全面梳理和系统分析企业的目标、外部环境、内部能力等方面，鉴别出适合自身发展的方向和途径，以获取竞争优势，实现可持续卓越绩效的谋篇布局。
失败案例具学习价值，是企业管理者避免犯低级错误，提高决策成功率的重要借鉴。企业的成功基于创新，创新基于差异化，成功的创新基于符合市场真实需求的差异化。而企业的失败，殊路同归，无论企业性质、规模、业务领域，失败的逻辑具有共性。“成功的路有千百种，失败的路只有这几条。”深刻理解企业失败的逻辑和原因，可以帮助管理者根据前车之鉴，规避决策陷阱，减少决策失败的风险，对企业运营意义十分重大。
然而，失败的企业案例非常稀缺。一方面，绝大多数企业不愿公开自身错误，以免影响品牌形象。另一方面，失败企业的管理往往比较松散粗放，案例开发所需的基础材料和数据难以收集。
因此，本书开发的5个中国企业的战略决策失败案例，对在我国市场中拼杀的企业管理者具学习价值。其中，美亚汽车因企业已被母公司收购，企业不再运行，愿以其实际经历和教训为工商管理学习者提供样本。A渔业公司和A农牧公司均为我国大型农牧业集团，案例基于实际调研完成，本书中隐去企业名称和可能辨识出具体企业名称的内容。中国A乳业公司和汇源集团的案例，基于上市公司披露数据和公开材料的二手数据开发，不涉及公司内部商业机密。
以上5篇案例，均已被中国管理案例共享中心收录。
