Dr David Webb discusses the paper by Mintzberg, H. and Waters, J.A. (1985) “Of strategies, deliberate and emergent”, Strategic Management Journal, 6(3), 257-272
This video forms part of the strategy as process playlist.
Dr. David Webb has released a series of videos that cover the strategy topics you will find on many MBA and undergraduate strategy courses. Each topic is broken down into between 2 and 4 ‘short ‘lecture chunks’ and cover both the theory and practical advice on using it to generate insight. As you will see the videos draw on the series of key strategy articles and interviews that have featured on this YouTube channel. Hopefully you will find the combination of both these lecture chunks, and key strategy articles we have already covered, build into a useful resource for those studying and practicing strategy.
By taking a critical realist view of strategy, each theory, if used effectively, becomes a source of insight. Synthesis then comes in the unfolding strategy conversation within the firm – the strategy process. Here again new draw on a number of the key strategy articles covered in this channel.
