Management Research: Strategic Management - Corporate vs Business Strategy

Hello, dear listeners,

in today's #episode, I discuss the difference between the terms "#corporate #strategy" and "#business #strategy". I also give some examples for both.

Management Research: Strategic Management - Origins of Strategy

Welcome, dear listeners!

 

In today's #episode, I am talking about the origins of #strategy. Interestingly, the strategy in #business has a lot in common with the strategy in #military. According to some scholars, business took over the ideas, structure, and work organising from those organisations we have been good at since the beginning of mankind. It seems that humankind learned to fight long before it learned to do business. Would you agree?

Management Research: Strategic Management - Strategic Moves in Chess

Welcome, dear listeners!

My students often ask me to give some #examples during our #strategic #management course. I use examples from different fields. Yet, many are now interested in #chess after the new movie “The Queen’s Gambit” (2021) or because chess is associated with #wisdom and #intelligence. At least, about half of the students from my class know how to play chess and about 5 per cent say they are good at chess. Consequently, I ask them what are examples of "strategic moves" in chess.   

In this episode, I elaborate on the example from chess to illustrate the strategic moves for your firm or for your personal career.

Management Research: Strategic Management - 3 Pillars of a Successful Strategy

Welcome, dear listeners, to the next #episode in my new mini-series dedicated to #strategicmanagement!

Today, I talk about, what I call, three pillars of a #successful #strategy. The pillars are very simple, but these are exactly the simple things that are hard to follow... In #strategic #management, the planning horizon is so big and the complexity is so high that the three pillars may require plenty of time to elaborate on them. Would you agree?

I hope you enjoy the #podcast. Feel free to #comment, #share, and #subscribe - it does matter!

Management Research: Strategic Management - Level of Abstraction

Hello and welcome to my new mini-series on Strategic Management!

Today, I have an introductory episode where I focus on two types of #thinking - a low level of #construal (#concrete) and a high level of construal (#abstract) thinking. In #strategicmanagement, you mostly need very abstract thinking as your decisions have a time horizon of 3 to 5 years! This is one of the reasons why some students are very good at #strategic management - they can easily switch to a high level of abstraction and think forward.

As promised in the episode, I provide you with a map that I used last year in my class: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/365712524_Strategic_Management_Treasure_Map

To draw this map, I used the free (basic) account of #Inkarnate (https://inkarnate.com/). You can try it out, if you want.

Management Research: Games People Play - Parallels to Identity Theory

Welcome, dear listeners,

today, I share the next episode of my #management #research #podcast. In this episode, I address one of your suggestions regarding the current topic - #psychological #games by Eric #Berne. In his suggestion, Mr @Despotovic proposed to treat three ego states as three types of identity (i.e., applying the #identitytheory). Although there are some issues with the compatibility of this view:

a. #identity types can be combined more easily

b. parent role integrated both the #roleidentity (parent) and #socialgroup belonging (parents talking to each other)

c. the theory by Berne focuses on communication only while identity theory has a broader scope

 

still the suggestion is VERY good and may indicate an interesting avenue for future research and maybe even #reconciliation of these theories.

 

Enjoy, comment, share, and send me your ideas!

Management Research: Games People Play - Collective Calls

Hello and welcome to my podcast, dear friends and guests,

Today, I continue with our mini-series on #psychological #games as postulated by Eric #Berne. In this #management #research #podcast episode, I briefly explain how to avoid psychological games, especially if there was an "official call" - the #game has been announced in front of a #team and you cannot individually avoid playing. 

I wish you all the best in your communication! Feel free to share your thoughts and ideas and let me know what you want to listen to in the next episodes!

Enjoy, share, subscribe, and comment - it does matter!

PS. I apologise for the 1-week-delay - I had a stressful week and weekend and could not upload the new episode.

Management Research: Games People Play - Postitive Games

Hello and welcome dear friends

 

In this episode, we continue talking about #psychological #games as suggested by Eric #Berne. When analysing how people interact with each other, Eric Berne discovered that some games can be positive for both parties. In this episode, I provide you with an example of such a #game. Moreover, I briefly discuss whether one should engage in playing both #positive and #negative games. 

Enjoy, share, comment, and subscribe - it does matter, at least to me personally.

Welcome, dear listeners, to the next episode of my #management #research #podcast!
