Strategy formulation and strategy decisions are the focus of major efforts of senior executives. Interfaces plans to publish a special issue devoted to the modeling and analysis that enables and supports the critical choices behind strategy formulation and strategy decisions.
Ideal papers would employ strategy frameworks and relate to strategy concepts such as sources of sustainable competitive advantage, value chain analysis, competitor and industry analysis, critical capabilities, value creation, innovation, strategic intent and portfolio of businesses. The editors are looking for papers that use or describe modeling and analysis, broadly defined to include approaches such as decision analysis, financial valuation, game theory, influence diagramming, information theory, option valuation, risk modeling, scenario analysis, and new frameworks for analysis. Application papers, cases or business history describing success or failure, tutorials on state-of-the-art practice and methods, updates on consulting and management training, are all welcome, provided they address practice rather than promote approaches that have not been used.
Submit papers by June 30, 1997, in the Interfaces format. All papers will be peer-reviewed and the applications will be verified. Submit five copies of each paper and address inquiries to either of the special issue editors:
