Book Summary of Fundamental Issues in Strategy: A Research Agenda for the 1990s
Fundamental Issues in Strategy is the product of a conference jointly sponsored by the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation and the Strategic Management Society in November 1990. This conference brought together important and influential thinkers in the field of strategy, as well as scholars from the fields of economics, organizational sociology, and political science, to address the following fundamental questions: How do firms behave? Why do firms differ? What are the functions of the headquarters unit in a multibusiness firm? What determines the international success or failure of firms? The book includes contributions from Alfred Chandler, Michael Porter, Oliver Williamson, and C.K. Prahalad. It represents a coherent statement of the status and future of the field of strategic management, re-examining the theoretical roots of strategic issues in order to set a new research agenda and advance the state of the field. A paperback version is available: Order No. 6459, $24.95.
About The Author
Richard D`Aveni (Shortlisted: 2011 Thinkers50 Strategy Award) is professor of strategic management at the Tuck Business School at Dartmouth University. An expert on competitive strategy, and winner of the prestigious A.T. Kearney Award for outstanding research in general management by the Academy of Management, D`Aveni is probably best known for the concept of hyper-competition, a term he coined in the early 1990s.
His 1994 book Hyper-competition was described by Fortune magazine as "a modern-day analogue to The Art of War. In it, D`Aveni presciently envisaged a world where sustainable advantage was no longer possible. He developed this idea in Hyper-competitive Rivalries (1995); and then in Strategic Supremacy (2001), he demonstrated how companies could achieve supremacy in a hyper-competitive world. ISBN
