Panelists:

*Jointly conducted by the Competitive Strategy and Knowledge and Innovation IG The link between organizational capabilities and competitive advantage has been theorized (primarily) and (increasingly) empirically studied for almost two decades, now. Despite the significant progress in the debate, the questions spurring the current research efforts have not evolved a lot from the pioneering years. Notably, we are still missing a solid empirical base supporting some of the key theoretical tenets and identifying the boundary conditions for learning processes to create and sustain competitive advantage. This workshop will offer the opportunity to some of the leading thinkers in the strategy and evolutionary economics fields to share their current thoughts on where the research agenda on organizational capabilities and competitive advantage is going, and (more importantly) where it ought to go. The objective is to engage participants in a discussion on the directions and modes of development for research in an area central to both the Knowledge and Innovation as well as the Competitive Strategy Interest Groups.
