Abstract: |
This study attempts to advance the reflection and management education literature by examining the relationship between reflection and task performance in a strategic decision-making setting and two boundary conditions of such a relationship – an individual’s initial capability and primed learning goals. We employed a behavioral decision-making experiment in a well-controlled lab using a strategic decision-making simulation as the experimental task. Our finding that the relationship between reflection and performance is not always linear is of particular relevance for strategic management and management education. |
