Why Even Bad Strategy is Worth Doing Well

Response to the article Why Even Bad Strategy is Worth Doing Well by Puranam (and the longer recommended article, The Implementation Imperative: Why One Should Implement Even Imperfect Strategies Perfectly by Lee and Puranam). You are to write a response to the article of no more than 1 page, single spaced with 12 point font. Your response should take and defend a position (e.g., agree, disagree, a little of both) on the articles’ main conclusion: that subordinates should implement precisely as instructed even strategies they believe to be badly designed. Strategy is about merging theory with practice, so ideally your argument supporting your position should rely both on logical assessment of the article’s theoretical arguments, as well as on supporting evidence from your own experience or other real-world examples with which you are familiar. I am looking for sound reasoning, not factual accuracy.
