According to Henry Mintzberg, managers are craftsmen and strategy is their clay. He doesn’t say that they cannot be formulated but formulated strategies can lead to unrealized strategies – bad or good.
- There is no such thing as a solely emergent or planned strategy – all strategy walks on two feed one emergent one deliberate
- An innovation of market imperatives can cause submerged strategies in the org to come to the surface
- Managing strategy is not so much promoting change but knowing when to do it
- Knowledge is to intellectual or analytical or from abstracted facts its more to do with wisdom.
