Behavioral strategy
“Behavioral strategy” refers to an approach to studying traditional strategic management problems, that aims to draw on evidence rather than assumptions about human behavior, in its theorizing [1, 2, 3]. Behavioral Strategy thus stresses the links between strategy and social/cognitive psychology, as well as methodologies that enable these linkages to be fruitfully exploited- such as qualitative research, lab experiments and agent based modelling- in addition to conventional large sample statistics.

This wiki page curates literature on behavioral strategy organized into a matrix of Concepts X Phenomena.
The link between concepts and phenomena occurs through the assumptions being used to characterize the decision making behavior of the agent or agents that are focal to the phenomenon.
