ProjectBased Organizing and Strategic Management Advances in Strategic Management

The historical method is well represented in many social science fields such as economics and sociology, yet remains underrepresented in strategic research. Although significant and important historical work has informed strategy, historical strategy resource can inform each other. The volume presents a collection of theoretical and methodological discussions about historical resource in the context of strategy, as well as history-infused studies of strategic issues. The scholars in this volume represent a mix of historians interested in management questions as well as strategy researchers sympathetic to the historical method. Collectively, the chapters in this volume demonstrate both the potential power of analytic-narrative and comparative-historical approaches for clarifying key strategic concepts and extending theory, and methods by which variables and concepts from strategy research can inform the process of doing historical analysis. -- from back cover.
