Panelists:

The panel discusses important current and future topics regarding the role of power and politics in strategy processes, such as in strategic decision-making and strategy execution. Questions that will be addressed include: How do powerful strategic leaders affect process outcomes? What makes strategic leaders powerful and how do top managers engage in political behavior? How does the composition of the top management team affect politics and strategy activities?
