Integrative thinking - Criticism

1 Integrative thinking as devised by Roger Martin is open to the criticism that the theory was created using a non-scientific research approach; by simply interviewing successful

leaders, and inferring a theory for their success, Martin and his colleagues may have

been subject to a confirmation bias effect. The body of work is also incomplete, because the studies in question did not look at integrative

thinkers who failed and non-integrative thinkers who succeeded in similar situations.
