| Abstract: | The question whether there is an academic field of strategy is examined, and the article concludes that despite there has been a vast expansion in the research during last twenty years, the field of strategy is still underdeveloped. The authors argue that the strategy research has not been very relevant to managers and that defining issues are not addressed. The complexity of strategic issues has made traditional social science approaches more popular in the field of strategy and this has only added the confusion among both academics and practitioners. The authors conclude how the future research in the field of strategy will be successful, as long as the theory will be better connected to practice. This way more useful results can be found and real walking sticks for strategists can be produced. |
