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.

Dan Levinthal Mental representations and the Carnegie perspective
