The term coined by Sadagopan Singam refers to the self reinforcing ecosystem of research firms, consulting companies, analysts, and influencers that shape and often amplify corporate narratives - especially around emerging topics like GenAI, Digital Transformation,ESG and Innovation Strategy etc. It represents how these players mutually benefit from creating frameworks, maturity models, buzzwords, and “thought leadership” which companies feel compelled to adopt, often without sufficient diligence or grounding in real business impact!
The strategy industrial complex thrives on fear based messaging - if you are not on the latest trend, you are behind - creating a self sustaining demand for playbooks and advisory services!

Get the Strategy Industrial Complexmug. this word defines somone who is overlooked until a person gets to know them. it is not a nice word and is "known" as an insult. a person who is complicated and that people shouldn't pay attention to them if not necessary.

Get the complex breadstickmug. When an ex boyfriend won't stop reaching out to his former girlfriend and with all odds against him, goes to any length to reignite a romantic flame that lost its spark years before. The ex, much like the terminator, will somehow find ways to return and will reinvent his intentions leading people to believe he is an ally. But really he's a middle aged bum that dreams he will one day restore a broken relationship. While he plots and plans, I give Sarah Conor (his ex) the wood she never had and lay Judgement Day on her p***y.
Terminator Complex- The ex boyfriend that still thinks he's got a chance years later. So he seeks former love interest and with no chance, tries to rekindle the flame that will never light again.

Get the futaomote complexmug. Much like siscon or brocon. MC-con is a condition where you will love (or at least, like) a main character of any franchise you read/watch, regardless all their weakness, wether they are a kind mc, a cunning mc, a stubborn mc, a weak mc, or anything.
A: Will there someone out there that will love this kind of weak and naive mc?
B: A MC-con / MC-complex will still love them. They love any mc!

Get the bovine superiority complexmug. In mental illness, it is a delusion where the person suffering believes there is a grand conspiracy that specifically targets them or individuals like them, akin to gang stalking. This conspiracy supposedly is trying to make their life hell and everything that goes wrong in life is caused by this mysterious group, sometimes it’s the government, celebrities or just random people (See Apophenia).
Or (what this focuses on), when it involves assholes, they usually have a persecution complex over what is reasonable backlash to their shitty behaviour, using DARVO, psychological projection, gaslighting techniques , nutpicking, strawman arguments (and other logical fallacies) and then playing the victim. Claiming to be the victim of unfair judgement and mistreatment, when they in fact do that and/or advocate for it. Simple resistance to injustice to them is like an attack.

Examples of a persecution complex:
Christian fundamentalists claim to be persecuted by the mainstream media for “their pro family values” (see dog whistle), when they spew bigotry towards many marginalized groups and usually get a pretty paycheck for it. (See Astroturf)
AI “““artists””” claiming to be the victim of artists, who simply just want to not be plagiarized and have the thing they love and spent years doing be a stable way of living and not be treated like worthless numbers by executives (see Activision, EA, Disney, and other shitty executives)
Men’s “““rights activists””” claim that men are unfairly being treated by women. When they in fact are huge misogynistic douchebags that make women dislike men. Same people who if they were to meet real victims of the loneliness epidemic (ie someone who suffers from crippling social anxiety) they would make it worse for that person calling them things like a “pussy” and giving superficial advice like “man up” whilst belittling them.
Following the death of Brian Thompson, many healthcare executives claimed that they were being unfairly treated by people on social media, when those said executives can do the exact same thing that happen to Brian on a bigger scale and get away with it (thanks to lobbying).
