ABSTRACT

In this chapter, I want to reduce the complexity that I have built up in the previous chapters in two ways. First, I will show how each school illuminates a certain aspect of the world of strategy. Second, I will look at the process of strategy formulation from the perspective of whom it serves and how. Ideally, thinking and acting strategically are interrelated, particularly if we wish to preserve a learning-oriented perspective. In other words, this book may have taught you a great deal, but will it enable you to approach strategy processes more effectively? You might like to think about this before you continue.
