On Robinson, Penrose, and the resource-based view

Lowell Jacobsen

The European Journal of the History of Economic Thought, 2013, vol. 20, issue 1, 125-147

Abstract: This paper addresses the neglected, significant influence of Robinson on Penrose and her profound impact on the resource-based view (RBV) of strategy. The modest intent is to awaken strategy scholars and perhaps others to Austin Robinson's pioneering volume. The ambitious intent is to deepen the historical intellectual roots of the RBV, thereby securing a more certain foundation and direction. An enriched historical background may well add significance and validity to the questions pursued and the research methods employed in any science.
