Strategic Management and Determinism
Abstract
Contingency theories of management and economic theories of industrial organization both contribute to a mechanistic view of the strategic manager as “analyst.” In this view, the secret to managerial effectiveness is through the application of scientific laws or principles, be they “laws of organization” or “laws of the marketplace.” This paper argues for a view of strategic management as a creative activity and suggests a dialectic between free will and determinism in conceptualizations of strategic behavior.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
