Management Research: Strategic Management - Strategic Moves

Dear friends

In my previous episode, I gave examples of strategic moves in #warinukraine. In this episode, I give a definition and provide you with some examples of #strategic moves at an individual's and a firm's level. In the end, I also share with you my vision regarding #tourism #investments in #Tyrol and #Innsbruck that I hold for wrong strategic moves, by the way. 

I am eager to hear your examples and feedback! Use the comment section below to share your thoughts and ideas.

Management Research: Strategic Management - Strategic Moves in the Ukraine War

Hello, dear listeners,

Today's episode will give examples of #strategic #moves in the #active #phase of the #warinukraine. The most active phase of the #war started in 2022, while the war has been going on since 2014. 

After February 2022, one could trace several strategic moves (it is not the whole strategy, of course), i.e. decisions that shaped the #battlefield for weeks, months, and years. Think of one of my previous episodes with the example from the #chess #game. In a war, the logic is the same, yet more #complex, more #uncertain, and #unpredictable. Tough #planning is, therefore, impossible. But a good strategic move can make your further play/war easier, providing you with more #flexibility and #decisionpower.

Management Research: Strategic Management - Strategy as Positioning vs Strategy as Direction

Welcome to my new #managementresearch #podcast episode!

Today, I discuss #strategy as #positioning and strategy as #direction. Suppose you want to be successful and have motivated personnel. In that case, you have to define your correct #corporate and #business strategy as positioning first - which industry are you competing in and how are you competing right now? Yet, it is not sufficient as people need a goal. So, you need to add your personnel a feeling of perspective - where you want to be in a few years and how you want to compete by then. This is called "strategy as direction". 

In this episode, I elaborate on this topic and give imaginary and real examples from the #mci strategy.

Enjoy and share your ideas. By the way, how do you see our strategy? How do you see the strategy of your firm?

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?

 

Enjoy, #comment, #share, and #subscribe - it does matter. Not because of #monetisation (I don't have any) but because I want to know how many of you listen to the episodes and read the description ;)

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!
