- Description
- The dynamic business landscape demands agile strategists, yet gaps remain between theory and practice. This study delves into five key areas for navigating the strategic maze: Tools are needed to translate theoretical frameworks into actionable strategies for diverse contexts. Factors enabling or hindering successful implementation across organizations, as explored by Haghighi et al. (2019), require a deeper understanding. Embracing Emerging Trends: Disruptive technologies like Eissas (2018) smart grid program necessitate strategic adaptation and exploration of their potential. Humanizing Strategy: Insights from behavioral economics and cognitive psychology can guide us in understanding the human factors influence on strategic decision-making. Context-Specific Strategies: Tailoring strategies to unique challenges and opportunities faced by different sectors and regions is key to sustainable success. By addressing these gaps, the study empowers organizations to navigate the strategic landscape with greater agility and effectiveness. This journey requires embracing a human-centered approach, fostering continuous learning, and bridging the theory-practice divide. Ultimately, equipping organizations with these tools will pave the way for a more resilient and sustainable future. 2026 by Apple Academic Press, Inc.
