Master of Business Administration (MBA) has recently gained popularity as a degree program in Kenya, with most of its students and graduates gaining different strategic skills and knowledge as a result. The continued industrial growth and technological advancement has paused a challenge in the management of many organizations calling for need for strategic thinking approaches to address these issues. The purpose of this study was to investigate factors influencing strategic thinking among MBA graduates from Kenyan Universities in Nairobi County. The specific objectives were; to find out the influence of personal attributes, education background , structural characteristics and industrial environment on strategic thinking among MBA graduates from Kenyan Universities. Descriptive survey was employed on a sample size of 54 respondents obtained using snowball sampling method was used. The findings revealed that both personal characteristics (β =-.176, p ˃ 0.05) and education background (beta =-.071, p ˃ 0.05) constructs did not significantly influence strategic thinking capabilities of the MBA graduates. However, structural characteristics (β = 0. 556, p < 0.05) and industrial environment (β = 0.365, p < 0.05) significantly influenced strategic thinking levels among the MBA graduates with structural characteristics having stronger influence. Additionally, it was established that the multiple linear regression model developed for the study could explain approximately 37.9 % of the variations on strategic thinking among MBA graduates from Kenyan universities campuses located in Nairobi County. The study, therefore, recommends that the management of the universities invest in more resources that can make their programs more oriented to strategic thinking. The study also recommends that the universities lecturers should find more ways of enriching the MBA programs by giving the students more assignments that would encourage strategic thinking. It is also recommended that graduates take up assignments in structure design and reorganization especially at small scale level so as to further develop their strategic thinking capabilities.

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.

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.

Strategic Management research. Firstly, it is about the differences of the philosophical approach between realism and constructivism as the two most employed approaches in the development of Strategic Management. Apart from the development of topics, there was a very moderate research of the development of the fi eld itself and the foundations for its development. There had been just several discussions of the philosophical foundations of strategy. Secondly, it is about the extensive historical overview of the research on the process of strategic management. The authors have developed a pattern of existing schools of strategic management in the three groupings. Thirdly, it scales down the level of research from the macro level down to the individual level-the top manager. Fourthly, it suggests the bridge between the theoretical concepts of schools of strategic management and the empirical testing in order to prove its relevance and practical use for top manager in everyday lives. The paper proposes a new classifi cation of the schools of strategic management. The further research should be directed toward elaborating propositions into hypothesis and following the suggestions and remarks when performing empirical testing on four suggested schools of strategic management.
