    Working Paper Series 2016/47/TOM/EFE Fairness in Strategy: A Fair Process Evaluation of Strategy Schools Koen Tackx Vlerick Business School, [email protected] Corresponding author Ludo Van der Heyden INSEAD, [email protected] Paul Verdin Solvay Brussels School of Economics and Management, [email protected] June 2016 The ‘strategy creation’ process – the process of formulating and implementing strategy – has been under critical study for decades for not delivering the desired results. The discussion on how a strategy process should be run has resulted in a number of ‘strategy schools’. Procedural justice theory is relevant to this discussion. It states that when people impacted by a process consider the process as ‘fair’ they demonstrate a higher level of trust and commitment, and performance increases. This article evaluates the extent to which traditional ‘strategy schools’ comply with the tenets of procedural justice theory and highlight the non-compliance with these tenets for each of these schools. We then propose a new strategy process model which has a greater fair process dimension than any of the more traditional ‘strategy schools’ and as such offers the potential to bring greater effectiveness to the strategy process.

    INFORMATION SHEET FOR STUDENTS 2021-2022 The city of Maastricht Maastricht, the oldest city in the Netherlands, gained international fame as the 'birthplace of the European Union' by hosting of the European Summit in 1991, and as the city where the Treaty of Maastricht was signed in 1992. Maastricht is centrally located in the heart of Europe, bordering Belgium (a brisk 47 minute walk or 11 minutes of vigorous bike riding away) and Germany (only 35 minutes by car), which means that Brussels is an hour-and- a-half away, Amsterdam two, Paris and Frankfurt three, and London four-and-a-half hours. There are nine airports within an hour's travel, where low cost carriers will take you to any European city in a heartbeat. Located in the southernmost tip of the country, it has a reputation for feeling rather non-Dutch. To many Dutch people it even feels as if they are abroad and no longer in the Netherlands! They join the flocks of other tourists who visit Maastricht to go shopping, to get a taste of its laid-back and friendly atmosphere, or to check out one of its 1,660 monumental buildings. Maastricht is a cosy city of around 122,000 inhabitants. Known for its vibrant student life, there are dozens of student associations and organisations devoted to everything from sustainability to sports, from drama to music, and to volunteering, studying, and partying. Maastricht is the perfect setting for a university city, with many festivals and events reflecting a diversity of cultural influences, from Maastricht's famous annual Carnival to experimental theatre, from thought-provoking lectures to lively music concerts.

This is a question many prospective MBA candidates around the world will be asking, before making an investment that can comfortably run into six figures when tuition and forgone salary are both taken into account. Indeed, at some top US schools, tuition alone can come to $200,000. Is it worth the investment? Well, we can’t really quantify the non-monetary value of an MBA, but we can certainly take a stab at working out some of the financials.
