Much as the practice of strategy requires executives to understand the major functions within their organizations, academic inquiry into strategy requires an understanding of the many dimensions that comprise this increasingly diverse subject. This book provides an excellent overview of the streams of research that have evolved along those dimensions over the last 40 years and offers tantalizing signposts for future inquiry. It is an invaluable resource for all strategy scholars, from students to senior research professors. * Pamela S. Barr, Professor Emerita, Georgia State University * Strategic Management traces the intellectual evolution of the strategy field, showing its strong foundations, as well as the strength, vitality, and direction of each of the prominent branches, and even some promising new ones. This book is a timely account by giants in the field. Surely a landmark collection. -Joan E. Ricart, Carl Schroder Professor of Strategic Management, IESE Business School and Fellow and former President, Strategic Management Society
