ABSTRACT
So what does our understanding of the history of strategy have to say about learning to think strategically? Interdisciplinary thinking (i.e., management, science, mathematics, education, anthropology, philosophy) offers a degree of convergence about the current direction of learning and strategy. Although learning has always been implied in the strategy literature, the human resource development literature has increasingly emphasized the role of strategy and the concept of learning as well. The pendulum appears to be moving toward a more integrated, inclusive, holistic approach to strategy as a balance to the highly analytic, rational, linear approach that has dominated the field since the modern industrial era of the early 1900s.
