How do the views on the strategy process expressed in this chapter deal with the key questions posed in Chapter 2? These key questions are as follows:

1.What theory of human psychology – that is ways of knowing and behaving – do the process theories, macro and micro assume (including the relationship between individual and group and the extent to which they are concerned with questions of emotion and power)?

2.How do the theories understand the nature of human action and interaction?

3.What methodology do process theories assume (the spectrum of realist through to social constructionist)?

4.How do process theories deal with contradictions?
