Evaluating Company's Strategic Choices: Strategic Choices Set Model
The crux of strategic management is evidently about doing the right strategic choices. From a large set of different possible choices the top management team must select the one(s) that give competitive advantage for a company. However, many research results show that managers tend to select strategies they are familiar with, regardless of the strategic optimality. We construct and present a St...
متن کاملTesting Multiple Forecasters∗
We consider a cross-calibration test of predictions by multiple potential experts in a stochastic environment. This test checks whether each expert is calibrated conditional on the predictions made by other experts. We show that this test is good in the sense that a true expert—one informed of the true distribution of the process—is guaranteed to pass the test no matter what the other potential...
متن کاملForecasters ’ Objectives and Strategies ∗
This chapter develops a unified modeling framework for analyzing the strategic behavior of forecasters. The theoretical model encompasses reputational objectives, competition for the best accuracy, and bias. Also drawing from the extensive literature on analysts, we review the empirical evidence on strategic forecasting and illustrate how our model can be structurally estimated.
متن کاملNOTES AND CORRESPONDENCE Evaluating Forecasters’ Rules of Thumb: A Study of d(prog)/dt
Forecasters often develop rules of thumb for adjusting model guidance. Ideally, before use, these rules of thumb should be validated through a careful comparison of model forecasts and observations over a large sample. Practically, such evaluation studies are difficult to perform because forecast models are continually being changed, and a hypothesized rule of thumb may only be applicable to a ...
متن کاملEvaluating strategic alternatives: An analytical model
-The amount of information involved in strategic decision making and the computational limitations of human decision makers makes strategy selection a difficult task. Various approaches from sheer intuition to computerized decision systems have been proposed for strategy selection. In this paper we present an analytical model which systematically evaluates a series of strategic alternatives by ...
