Strategy without ontology

Thomas C. Powell

Strategic Management Journal, 2003, vol. 24, issue 3, 285-291

Abstract: Professor Arend's critique raises fundamental epistemological issues for strategy research, particularly the concern that pragmatist philosophy forecloses access to objective truth and scientific progress. This response discusses the empiricist underpinnings of pragmatism, and addresses Professor Arend's specific concerns about the connections between competitive advantages and firm performance.
