Collectively, the strategy area is a global thought leader in the multi-disciplinary study of factors contributing to the superior long term performance of organizations. We construe performance in the broadest sense covering economic, social, and human dimensions. Our thought leadership is manifest in research and teaching that changes the way of thinking and doing of both the academic and practitioner communities. We accomplish this through a combination of diversity -- in approach, methodology, theoretical orientation, geographical location, personal background, and ideology -- and of unity -- in scientific and ethical norms.
