Competition and Business Strategy in Historical Perspective

Pankaj Ghemawat

Business History Review, 2002, vol. 76, issue 1, 37-74

Abstract: A review of theories of competition and business strategy over the last half-century reveals a fairly linear development of early work by academics and consultants into efforts to understand the determinants of industry profitability and competitive position and, more recently, to add a time or historical dimension to the analysis. The possible implications of the emergence of a market for such ideas are also discussed.
