Ten Schools of Thought on Strategic Management
This is a 38-slide PowerPoint.
The Ten Schools of Thought model from Henry Mintzberg is a framework that can be used to categorize the field of Strategic Management. It describes each school in context and provides a critique. Thus, it acts as a very good overview to the entire field of Strategic Management.
While academics and consultants keep focusing on these narrow perspectives, business managers will be better served if they strive to see the wider picture. Some of strategic management's greatest failings, in fact, occurred when one of these concepts was taken too seriously.
These 10 Schools of Thought are as follows:
*The Design School
*The Planning School
*The Positioning School
*The Entrepreneurial School
*The Cognitive School
*The Learning School
*The Power School
*The Cultural School
*The Environmental School
*The Configuration School
This document explains each School, its origins, benefit and limitations, related analyses/frameworks, and other attributes. Also includes PowerPoint templates for illustrating this model in your presentation.
