The target population for this study comprised all Jordanian’s banks listed in Amman Stock Exchange (16 Banks). Data were collected from 13 Jordanian banks. It hypothesized that strategic thinking is significantly associated with core competence achievement, also strategic thinking is significantly influence core competence achievement.
