Behind the mind of the strategist

Delves into the mind of the strategic thinker. The aim of this examination is to establish the conceptual foundations for a new theory of strategic thinking that looks at this process from an individual perspective. This will be accomplished by merging two separate strains of strategy research into a single strategic thinking philosophy. The two strains of strategy research that will be utilized include cognitive simplification tools and personal cognitive style. This foundational work opens the door to a new perspective on how strategic thinking is conducted and creates avenues for future empirical investigation into the mind of the strategist.
