Summary: Strategy is often pictured as a decision science in which the cycle goes through analysis, advocacy, decision and implementation. But this is not a single person process even without direct competition as in the public sector.
There are many other actors like politicians, other states and nations, opposition, voters and taxpayers, each one trying to maximize its point of view in a series of interactions. Therefore strategy is more like an extensive incomplete information multi-player game, rather than a single-sided rational decision process.
The research question is: what are the necessary competencies of a strategist, if strategy is an extensive, incomplete information, multi-player game?
The literature review will use not only game theory, but also, game design, role-playing, strategy as a process, and competency development. Language: Inglês Reference Number: 005 A474s 2013
