J. for International Business and Entrepreneurship Development (JIBED), Vol. 4, No. 3, 2009

Abstract: This study tests for differences in strategic philosophy among graduating business and engineering students in Turkey. Students were assessed along the dimensions of strategic philosophy – strategy as an art or a science, strategic emphasis on flexibility or consistency, and a top-down or a bottom-up approach to strategy – via survey. Results suggested that field of study did not significantly influence strategic philosophy proclivities among future managers and engineers. Hence, other factors are suggested as more influential. Implications and future research are discussed.
