The article identifies strategizing as a core process of strategic management. It contends that strategizing should be more than strategic planning and therefore needs strategic thinking which is systems thinking foremost. Four streams of influence on strategic thinking are discussed based on insights from strategy research. Furthermore, the article concentrates on two aspects of strategizing: ...

Nowadays, as a result of increased terrorist and bomb attacks throughout the globe in the vicinity of strategic buildings, designing these structures against impact loads, particularly the blast-related ones, has been taken into more consideration. The current procedure for designing the structure against an explosion is a design against the local failure of the current elements in the first st...

We study indirect reciprocity and strategic reputation building in an experimental helping game. At any time only half of the subjects can build a reputation. This allows us to study both pure indirect reciprocity that is not contaminated by strategic reputation building and the impact of incentives for strategic reputation building on the helping rate. We find that pure indirect reciprocity ex...

This paper reports on the use of a quantitative system dynamics simulation model building process that followed on from a ‘soft OR’ strategy making intervention with a top management team. The work was carried out for the Chief Constable and top team of a UK police force. The output of the ‘soft OR’ strategy making process provided the reason for, and so focus of, the simulation model. The focu...

Strategic supplier collaborations in inter-organizational environments have shown increasingly important. When building a strategic collaboration, such as It-implementations, difficult issues come to surface e.g. human and technical difficulties. The focus of this article is a game developed to visualize these human factors to students with a theoretical and practical background, and by this th...
