An authoritative overview of the prior development, current state, and future opportunities in strategic management The strategic management field, now a vibrant arena that offers valuable knowledge for managerial practice, has experienced significant growth in the more than forty years since its inception. And, until now, there has not been a book that captured the rich breadth and depth of knowledge of the discipline, while also looking to the future. Strategic Management provides a critical overview of the prior development, current state, and future opportunities in the strategic management field. Editors Irene M. Duhaime, Michael A. Hitt, and Marjorie A. Lyles bring together an exceptional group of scholars to explore specialized topics such as corporate strategy, strategic entrepreneurship, cooperative strategies, global strategy, strategic leadership, governance, innovation, strategy process and strategy practice, and strategic human capital. The book focuses heavily on the future developments and research opportunities available in the field, while also providing a solid base of knowledge for understanding strategic management as a whole. With articles from major leaders in the field, this authoritative volume will be useful to every strategic management scholar.

Reviews
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
Strategic Management: State of the Field and Its Future promises an update on the strategic management field, and it succeeds. The book is a rich compendium of useful information about the current state of research in strategic management, and it points to promising avenues for future research. This book is a valuable resource for scholars in strategy, as we pursue research on important strategy topics and even as we prepare and update our research-informed teaching in strategy courses. It is also valuable background reading for Ph.D. students as well as for the non-strategy scholar seeking to understand what, exactly, strategic management is. * Mary Benner, Administrative Science Quarterly *
