Análisis dimensional del concepto de estrategia
Abstract
The aim of this work is to analyze the dimensional approach of different concepts of strategy formulated by authors throughout its historical evolution, which will glimpse the features of the emerging perspective that is consolidating in this field of study. The research is based on a systematic review of the literature produced around the field of strategy. The selection of definitions was made considering the most representative authors as reference according to their contributions made to the field of study of the strategy and the most cited. A qualitative comparison was done of the elements addressed in the concept with the dimensions proposed by Hax and Majluf, and the interference of schools proposed by Mintzbergen in this field. The results show the evolution of the concept of strategy, which starts from a one-dimensional vision and transitions to a combination of dimensions. This result is consistent with the current conditions that shape the environment in which organizations operate. Its understanding will allow a change of perspective in the formulation and implementation of the strategy.
