Anthropology of Strategy

The Anthropology of Strategy explores how cultural and social factors influence the way organizations and individuals develop and implement strategies. It examines how traditions, beliefs, power dynamics, and social relationships shape decision-making processes, often revealing hidden assumptions and practices. By applying anthropological methods, such as ethnography and fieldwork, this approach provides deeper insight into organizational behavior, helping to explain why strategies succeed or fail in specific cultural contexts. Ultimately, it highlights that strategies are not purely rational or technical but are deeply embedded in social and cultural environments.
