In the strategy formulation, the current research supported the validity of the cognitive style model, developed on the basis of modern cognitive science theories, that distinguishes between object, spatial and verbal modes of information processing and of intellectual capital.

See papers from Kai Mertins, Holger Kohl, Ronald Orth and Markus Will.
Strategy formulation is an intellectual activity, it is therefore dependent on all dimensions of intellectual capital. Perhaps we should worry about how VALUES of KEY MANAGERS affect STRATEGY FORMULATION

Intellectual capital can influence in many ways. I think one one of the skills of the intellectual capital wich must be to be considered is the intuition, feeling. Sometimes, when we design a strategy, someone can say: I have the feeling that this strategy will not be ok but I can not explain why. And she /he can be right....
