Description
Summary:In this essay, the author analyses, or more precisely “deconstructs” the essence of thinking about “strategy” and the overall governance of “US type” organizations/dominant neoliberal economic thinking, predominating the current both academic management and applied economics scene. By drawing on a simultaneously historical, heuristic, epistemological, and methodological reading of the dominant work and system on this subject, which he refers to as “Porterism”, the author presents a resolutely critical review of the full range theories of managerial “strategy” as well as those of the most notable author in the field, namely, Michael Porter.
