Business and Strategy

Strategists not MBA’s
QUESTION: Prepare a critical essay of how strategists cannot be created in the classroom. Include strategy frameworks or

schools or approaches to assist your argument.

I want the essay to argue that Strategists CANNOT be created only in the classroom, but rather it is a combination of

classroom theory/learning and actual practice/experience. Use frameworks such as Porters 5 forces and Comparative Industry

Structure Analysis, and also considering various schools or approaches including Learning, Cognitive and/or Entrepreneurial

to support the argument.

There needs to be reference to specific references including the book ‘Managers not MBAs’ by Mintzberg 2004. Can you access

this?
