Many important strategic decisions are low-frequency and high-impact, such as decisions about radical innovations, business models, M&A, capital structure, hiring of CEO or key employees. Clearly, they cannot be made using past data or clear analogies.
A growing perspective in strategy advocates that, in these contexts, the ability to conceive novel representations of realities, and formulate and test theories about the implications of alternative strategies can support a competitive advantage.
Register here for our PDW @AOM on Saturday 5 Aug at 1pm, (https://bocconi.eu.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_bHrKEyCp9EQg570) when we will discuss about these topics with a panel of scholars who are expert in this area and we will introduce a series of adaptable games that can be used to teach students and managers about decision making as well as for collecting research data.
