Behavioral strategy continues to attract increasing research
interest within the broader field of strategic management. Research
in behavioral strategy has clear scope for development in tandem
with such traditional streams of strategy research that involve
economics, markets, resources, and technology. The key roles of
psychology, organizational behavior, and behavioral decision making
in the theory and practice of strategy have yet to be
comprehensively grasped. Given that strategic thinking and
strategic decision making are importantly concerned with human
cognition, human decisions, and human behavior, it makes eminent
sense to bring some balance in the strategy field by complementing
the extant emphasis on the "objective" economics-based view with
substantive attention to the "subjective" individual-oriented
perspective. This calls for more focused inquiries into the role
and nature of the individual strategy actors, and their cognitions
and behaviors, in the strategy research enterprise. For the
purposes of this book series, behavioral strategy would be broadly
construed as covering all aspects of the role of the strategy maker
in the entire strategy field. The scholarship relating to
behavioral strategy is widely believed to be dispersed in diverse
literatures. These existing contributions that relate to behavioral
strategy within the overall field of strategy has been known and
perhaps valued by most scholars all along, but were not adequately
appreciated or brought together as a coherent sub-field or as a
distinct perspective of strategy. This book series on Research in
Behavioral Strategy will cover the essential progress made thus far
in this admittedly fragmented literature and elaborate upon
fruitful streams of scholarship. More importantly, the book series
will focus on providing a robust and comprehensive forum for the
growing scholarship in behavioral strategy. In particular, the
volumes in the series will cover new views of interdisciplinary
theoretical frameworks and models (dealing with all behavioral
aspects), significant practical problems of strategy formulation,
implementation, and evaluation, and emerging areas of inquiry. The
series will also include comprehensive empirical studies of
selected segments of business, economic, industrial, government,
and non-profit activities with potential for wider application of
behavioral strategy. Through the ongoing release of focused topical
titles, this book series will seek to disseminate theoretical
insights and practical management information that will enable
interested professionals to gain a rigorous and comprehensive
understanding of the subject of behavioral strategy. Innovation and
Behavioral Strategy contains contributions by leading scholars in

The field of strategy science has grown in both the diversity of
issues it addresses and the increasingly interdisciplinary
approaches it adopts in understanding the nature and significance
of problems that are continuously emerging in the world of human
endeavor. These newer kinds of challenges and opportunities arise
in all forms of organizations, encompassing private and public
enterprises, and with strategies that experiment with breaking the
traditional molds and contours. The field of strategy science is
also, perhaps inevitably, being impacted by the proliferation of
hybrid organizations such as strategic alliances, the upsurge of
approaches that go beyond the customary emphasis on competitiveness
and profit making, and the intermixing of time-honored categories
of activities such as business, industry, commerce, trade,
government, the professions, and so on. The blurring of the
boundaries between various areas and types of human activities
points to a need for academic research to address the consequential
developments in strategic issues. Hence, research and thinking
about the nature of issues to be tackled by strategy science should
also cultivate requisite variety in issues recognized for research
inquiry, including the conceptual foundations of strategy and
strategy making, and the examination of the critical roles of
strategy makers, strategic thinking, time and temporalities,
business and other goal choices, diversity in organizing modes for
strategy implementation, and the complexities of managing strategy,
to name a few. This book series on Research in Strategy Science
aims to provide an outlet for ideas and issues that publications in
the field do not provide, either expressly or adequately,
especially as regards the comprehensive coverage deserved by
certain emerging areas of interest. The topics of the volumes in

areas and theoretical approaches routinely found in strategy
science, the better to permit expanded and expansive treatments of
promising issues that may not sufficiently align with the usual
research coverage of publications in the field. Time Issues in

This book proposes a conception of the corporate strategy making
process that recognizes the individual strategy maker as a
center-stage corporate actor. This individual-centered view of the
stategy making process is needed in order to better understand the
interplay between objective factors and the subjective perceptions
and values of strategy makers. Using a large sample of executives
working in two of the ten largest U.S. commercial banks, Das
examines empirically the dynamics of two critical aspects of the
role of individual strategy makers: future orientation and
perceptions of the strategic planning milieu. He discusses the
various implications of his findings for further research into the
strategy making process. The author demonstrates the utility of
individual future orientation in understanding how strategy makers
influence the character of the eventual corporate strategy. The
results of Das' study help to explain why long-range planning is
really more short-range than anyone cares to admit.
A volume in Research in Behavioral Strategy Series Editor T. K.
Das, City University of New York Behavioral strategy continues to
attract increasing research interest within the broader field of
strategic management. Research in behavioral strategy has clear
scope for development in tandem with such traditional streams of
strategy research that involve economics, markets, resources, and
technology. The key roles of psychology, organizational behavior,
and behavioral decision making in the theory and practice of
strategy have yet to be comprehensively grasped. Given that
strategic thinking and strategic decision making are importantly
concerned with human cognition, human decisions, and human
behavior, it makes eminent sense to bring some balance in the
strategy field by complementing the extant emphasis on the
"objective' economics-based view with substantive attention to the
"subjective" individual-oriented perspective. This calls for more
focused inquiries into the role and nature of the individual
strategy actors, and their cognitions and behaviors, in the
strategy research enterprise. For the purposes of this book series,
behavioral strategy would be broadly construed as covering all
aspects of the role of the strategy maker in the entire strategy
field. The scholarship relating to behavioral strategy is widely
believed to be dispersed in diverse literatures. These existing
contributions that relate to behavioral strategy within the overall
field of strategy has been known and perhaps valued by most
scholars all along, but were not adequately appreciated or brought
together as a coherent sub-field or as a distinct perspective of
strategy. This book series on Research in Behavioral Strategy will
cover the essential progress made thus far in this admittedly
fragmented literature and elaborate upon fruitful streams of
scholarship. More importantly, the book series will focus on
providing a robust and comprehensive forum for the growing
scholarship in behavioral strategy. In particular, the volumes in
the series will cover new views of interdisciplinary theoretical
frameworks and models (dealing with all behavioral aspects),
significant practical problems of strategy formulation,
implementation, and evaluation, and emerging areas of inquiry. The
series will also include comprehensive empirical studies of
selected segments of business, economic, industrial, government,
and non-profit activities with potential for wider application of
behavioral strategy. Through the ongoing release of focused topical
titles, this book series will seek to disseminate theoretical
insights and practical management information that will enable
interested professionals to gain a rigorous and comprehensive
understanding of the subject of behavioral strategy. Behavioral
Strategy: Emerging Perspectives contains contributions by leading
scholars in the field of strategic alliance research. The 9
chapters in this volume cover a number of significant topics that
speak to the emerging perspectives in the area of behavioral
strategy. The chapter topics cover both the broader issues, such as
cooperative behavior in strategic decision making, cognitive
orientation and biases of executives, dynamics capabilities in
organizational change, and the development of metamanagement
practices, and the more focused discussions on a behavioral view of
business modeling, the tenets of agency theory and Austrian
economics, and the temporal dimensions of strategic risk behavior.
The chapters include empirical as well as conceptual treatments of
the selected topics, and collectively present a wide-ranging review
of the noteworthy research perspectives on behavioral strategy.
Managing Alliance Portfolios and Networks is a volume in the book
series Research in Strategic Alliances that focuses on providing a
robust and comprehensive forum for new scholarship in the field of
strategic alliances. In particular, the books in the series cover
new views of interdisciplinary theoretical frameworks and models,
significant practical problems of alliance organization and
management, and emerging areas of inquiry. The series also includes
comprehensive empirical studies of selected segments of business,
economic, industrial, government, and non-profit activities with
wide prevalence of strategic alliances. Through the ongoing release
of focused topical titles, this book series seeks to disseminate
theoretical insights and practical management information that
should enable interested professionals to gain a rigorous and
comprehensive understanding of the field of strategic alliances.
Managing Alliance Portfolios and Networks contains contributions by
