Summary
This book develops a property rights approach to firm strategy and demonstrates how it helps address key challenges in strategic management research. It shows that the property rights approach holds important implications both for entrepreneurship and organizational learning theory. Property rights have direct implications for strategic management, as control over assets has an immediate link to the creation and appropriation of economic value. For a firm to execute a competitive strategy, it must hold rights to appropriate resources. This book will appeal to scholars working in the fields of strategic management, organizational theory and resource allocation. It is an invaluable summary of two decades of groundbreaking research. Kirsten Foss is Professor of Strategy at the Norwegian School of Economics in Bergen, Norway. She is also associated with the Copenhagen Business Schools. Her research and teaching interests are institutional economics and international business. Nicolai J Foss is a Professor of Strategy at the Copenhagen Business School. He is a Fellow of the Strategic Management Society and the Author of many articles on strategic management. His interests are in entrepreneurship and organization design theory.
