Dear BPS colleagues,
A few of my colleagues and I are working on a project exploring the potential science-practice gap in strategy. And, we would be grateful for your thoughts on the following two questions. We would be happy to summarize responses and email them to anyone interested.
1. Is there a gap between science and practice in the domain of stragegy-a disconnect between academic research and the practice of strategy? What empirical evidence do we have that such a gap might exist? Any references to articles quantifying this gap would be appreciated.
2. If there is a gap, is this a bad thing? If so, why? If not, why not?
Best regards, Jeff
