Some Thoughts on Strategy

I have just started a new half-semester class called Technology Strategy recently. As I submitted my analyses of the first 2 cases that were due yesterday, I pondered the following. Faculty members and students at management school observe, analyze, and synthesize the processes and strategies of successful or failed enterprises. Grand models were formalized to explain how the processes were observed in the business world while ground-breaking techniques were devised for achieving corporate goals. But the real managers whom we are studying may not had attended business school at all. Take for instance Bill Gates of Microsoft, he seem to have a good grasp of business. His company, Microsoft, seems to be ran in ways that support the precepts of good strategy, as it is defined in our Strategy class. Yet Gates didn't even complete college, let alone attended business school. Was he a genius or are some of the class material just plain or some derivative of common sense? In either case, I strongly believe that while we can write grandiose analyses of our cases, ultimately it is practice and our actual implementation that will get the corporation to where it wants to go.

That argument is a bit flawed: Bill Gates is known as a big follower and believer in Porter for example, having religiously read all his book. Steve Jobs is a big fan of Hamel and Prahald, and routinely quotes them in his speeches. So just because these guys didn't formally go to school doesn't mean they don't know of and follow the theories ;)
