Econ Talk's next podcast will be Monday, January 7, 2008. Our topic for today is Strategic Intuition. Strategy as taught in business schools is not exactly the same as strategic thinking. We'd love to hear from you.
William Duggan, professor of management at Columbia Business School at Columbia University, talks about his latest book, Strategic Intuition. Duggan critiques traditional methods of strategy and planning and suggests that the opportunism and adaptability are more productive detailed plans. He also discusses the nature of intuition and creativity along with insights into how the brain works to better understand problem-solving.
