Abstract
Three models of strategy that are implicit in the literature are described-linear, adaptive, and interpretive.Their similarity to Boulding's (1956) hierarchical levels of system complexity is noted.The strategy construct is multifaceted, and it has evolved to a level of complexity almost matching that of organizations themselves.
