Abstract
The aim of this study is to discuss the concept of neurostrategy on the basis of its contributions to the field of strategic management, its development course, definition and limitations. Neurostrategy, which took its place in the literature with Powell's pioneering theoretical work in 2011, is a field that examines the brain regions that are activated at the moment of decision of the managerial actor and evaluates the brain through brain mapping and imaging tools and methods. At the point where the strategic management field has reached today, it is seen that subjects such as cognitive characteristics, perception, strategic choice, decision making and behavior gain importance. Neurostrategy, without changing the focus of the strategic management field, is to answer specific research questions and provide additional answers, covering the behaviors and strategic decision-making processes of strategic management, in other words implicit attitudes, automatic bodily responses, unconsciously functioning brain processes, how actors think, feel and act. It contributes to the related literature at the point of creating in doing so, it receives the support of neuroscientific tools. Considering the fact that individuals' behaviors are affected by the social context, but the mechanisms underlying these effects are still not fully understood, it can be clearly seen that there is a way to go at this point. Therefore, it is necessary to benefit from neuroscience and neuroscience tools, which are accepted as interdisciplinary applications in strategic management. Thus, the relevant field will have the opportunity to analyze the micro-foundations of actors and complex social phenomena. In this study, a new discussion proposal is made regarding the need to clearly reveal the distinctive features of neurostrategy and to expand its definition.
