Michael E. Porter  has transformed how business executives and strategic planning professionals think about strategy.  We suggest using, for corporate strategy development in 2008: Michael Porter's books and the Global Industry Dashboard [TM] for objective external information on approximately 10,000 strategically relevant industries covering 95% of the world economy.

• Porter, Michael E., ed., Competition in Global Industries, Boston, Mass.: Harvard Business School Press, 1986.
• Porter, Michael E., Competitive Advantage: Creating and Sustaining Superior Performance, New York: The Free Press, 1985. [This is the best one.]

"In 1986, after reading Porter's book, Competitive Advantage, I changed careers."

In summary I believe that Michael Porter is, by far, the most brilliant business strategic planner ever.
