ABSTRACT: This article seeks to compare the schools of strategic management in
three paradigms, especially descriptive and descriptive schools, and considers
the integrated schools of strategic management as a combination of the other
two types of schools. In this article, to achieve this goal, we first try to
explain the concepts of strategic management, model, theory, approach, school
and paradigm and schools of strategic management. Then, using the qualitative
comparative research method and the type of close comparison, the researcher
came to the conclusion that the schools of strategic management are not
incomplete. They are complementary and it is necessary to use each of them in organizations. Then, we will compare the
relationship between these concepts, especially the concepts of
strategic management and strategic planning, with schools of learning and
planning, and finally we will find out. The prescriptive
and descriptive schools are complementary and supportive according to the
integrated schools.
