Is there a standard package to create a table like this?
It's possible to combine the multirow
package and tikz. I think it's more easy to place the text like Title A and B. I use tikz only for the arrows.
\documentclass[11pt]{scrartcl}
\usepackage{tikz,multirow}
\begin{document}
\begin{tabular}{ | l | l | p{5cm} |l l}
\cline{1-3}
Day & Max Temp & Summary &\multirow{2}{*}{Title A} &
\multirow{2}{*}{\tikz[remember picture,overlay] \coordinate (a);\hspace*{2ex}\textbf{Top}} \\
\cline{1-3}
Monday & 22C & A clear day with lots of sunshine. However, the strong breeze will bring down the temperatures.& & \\ \cline{1-3}
Tuesday & 19C & Cloudy with rain, across many northern regions. Clear spells across most of Scotland and Northern Ireland, but rain reaching the far northwest.& &\\
\cline{1-3}
Wednesday & 21C & Rain will still linger for the morning. Conditions will improve by early afternoon and continue throughout the evening.&
\multirow{2}{*}[1em]{Title B} & \multirow{2}{*}[-4em]{\tikz[remember picture,overlay] \coordinate (b);\hspace*{2ex}\textbf{Below}} \\
\cline{1-3}
\end{tabular} %
\tikz[remember picture,overlay] \draw[<->] (a) --(b);
\end{document}
Here's an outline answer using tabularx
and tikz
.
I apologise for (a) Not filling in all the text and (b) not tuning the horizontal fit and spacing.
\documentclass[10pt]{article}
\usepackage{tikz}
\usetikzlibrary{positioning}
\usetikzlibrary{arrows}
\usepackage{tabularx}
\newcommand{\vstrut}[1]{\rule{0pt}{#1}}
\begin{document}
\noindent\begin{tikzpicture}[>=latex]
\node [text width=7cm] (tb) {%
\begin{tabularx}{7cm}{|p{2.5cm}|X|}
\hline
Extraordinary uncertainty
& Fundamental Research\newline
Fundamental invention\\
\hline
\vstrut{2cm} & \\
\hline
\vstrut{2cm} & \\

\end{tabularx}
} ;
\node [
anchor=north west,
right=of tb.55,
text width=2cm] (br) {Basic\\Research};
\node [

\draw [<->] (x1) to (x2);
\node [right=2cm of br,text width=2cm] {\bfseries\itshape Radical\\Innovation};
\node [right=2cm of ar,text width=2cm] {\bfseries\itshape Incremental\\Innovation};
