Strategy

One Big Outline and Two Small Derivations

Over the last few days, I have successfully created a 30-page, single-spaced LaTex document describing the core problems in strategic theory that computational modeling would address. This is an enormous breakthrough and achievement for me (a broken record…

Programming vs. Understanding

In the US we can see two broad approaches to strategic thought after World War II.

First, the notion of strategy as a form of programming. This form of strategic thought deliberately blurred the lines between human and machine, simulation and reality…

A Compressed Representation of Computational Strategy and its Problems

Now, I compress all of the former entries into this more basic summary of the problem I am tackling and the theoretical and methodological issues involved. If you want to see the entries that led up to this…

Roadblocks to Computational Modeling and Theory Development in Strategy II: Situating the Strategic Subject

As noted before, my intent in writing this blog series was to rapidly iterate through the various literature and questions I am exploring until I…

Roadblocks to Computational Modeling and Theory Development in Strategy — and a Potential Way Forward

So, readers that have been following my work consistently have noticed that I often describe my work as “computational modeling of strategy” or…
