Simon and by the concepts of bounded rationality, which form the basis for his approach to strategy. He co-authored a paper on "Behavioral Strategy: A Foundational View" with Albert Madansky, which developed a set of ideas based on the work of Simon on how strategy decisions are made. [3] His latest research on strategy decisions is recapped in "Capital Ideas" (Spring 2014), wherein he and co-author Madansky are undertaking human subject experiments to discover how strategic insight can be developed to solve strategy puzzles.

He is a consultant on strategy to companies ranging in size from startups to the largest multinational corporations. He is a member of "The Experts" panel for the Wall Street Journal, answering questions at WSJ.com and in the print edition. [5]

Schrager is a long-time Porsche enthusiast who has written for Excellence and was a contributing editor for Porsche Panorama and the 356 Registry. He continues to write for Sports Car Market magazine and has authored two books on vintage Porsches. Both books are out of print but copies can be found at vintage booksellers. [6]
