Abstract: The motivation behind this special issue of Managerial and Decision Economics was two-fold: First, the special issue offered the opportunity to re-consider the huge contribution of Edith Penrose to the fields of strategy and economics. Second, it allowed us to present new research from both perspectives on the process of firm growth, an area pioneered by Penrose. In this introduction we discuss the contributions to the special issue in the context of Edith Penrose's life and work. Copyright © 2005 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
