Abstract: Abstract The purpose of the present paper is to investigate the enablers of strategic thinking and establish a relationship along with them by applying modified total interpretive structural modeling (TISM) and matrices impacts croises multiplication appliquer classement (MICMAC) analysis. This paper also analyzes the enablers’ dependence and driving power. This study has identified nine significant strategic thinking enablers and developed an integrated model using modified TISM and the MICMAC approach, which is useful to classify and identify the critical strategic thinking enablers and shows the indirect and direct consequences of all strategic thinking enablers on the implementation of strategic thinking. The weightage for modified TISM and MICMAC analysis are obtained by the opinion of some experts of industry and academics. This research has practical, substantial consequences, for both academicians and practitioners. The senior manager could take the strategic decision for implementing strategic thinking enablers obtained by modified TISM, and MICMAC analysis, and practitioners need to emphasize on these enablers in organizational practices. This study is the first kind of research to identify nine strategic thinking enablers and apply modified TISM and MICMAC to classify and identify the critical strategic thinking enablers which influence strategic thinking implementation in the organization. This paper would help the organization to evaluate and challenges the current management system and promote new enablers for better implementation of strategy thinking.
