Abstract
How useful are the strategic tools we teach in business schools in helping practicing managers make better decisions? Using a strategy as practice perspective and theories of sensemaking and personal constructs, we develop several conceptual models of strategic tools usefulness through respondents’ own theories-in-use in applying 13 strategic tools to a listed company taught in a
capstone course. Results provide a unique contribution to the strategic tools literature by building more engaged and meaningful conceptual models from strategy-as-practice perspective. Implications to business schools and strategy tools makers are addressed in light of these
findings.
