If intended strategies are often not realized, why should top managers invest time and energy into strategic management? Should steps in the strategic management process be completed sequentially? Should strategic managers adopt a scientific or artistic perspective on strategy? Explain. Which of the three major theoretical influences--industrial organization (10) theory, resource-based theory, and contingency theory--provides the most accurate perspective on firm performance.
