The Handbook is the outcome of a far-reaching endeavour including new
contributions from highly reputed experts around the world, outlining
the conceptual and empirical advancements and assessing the promises
and practical relevance of the competitive strategy field. Looking at
key areas such as alliances and innovation, ownership and networks,
coopetition and entrepreneurship, multinational and trust management,
and the firm's financial structure and business models, the book sets
a research agenda for the future of competitive strategy research.
Gathering various solid branches of investigation that revolve around
specific theories and applications (such as the socio-cognitive
perspective, the strategy as practice view, and the most recent
developments in competitive dynamics and the resource-based
perspective of the firm), this inspiring and thought-provoking
Handbook will provide executives, entrepreneurs, students and scholars
in management with several insightful hints on the nature and process
of competitive strategy emergence, configuration and development.
