    The Positioning School dominated strategy formation thinking in the early 1980s and viewed it as an analytical process involving three waves: early military writings, management consulting approaches like BCG and PIMS, and Michael Porter's models of competitive analysis, generic strategies, and value chain analysis. It was critiqued for its focus, context, process, and strategies. The Entrepreneurial School sees strategy formation as a visionary process led by a single visionary leader under close personal control, as promoted by economists like Marx and Schumpeter, but it was critiqued for only focusing on vision and not process, relying on a single person's vision, and leaving no room for alternative thinking.
