This collection of 21 significant articles is both retrospective and prospective, covering major theories, applications and trends that work together to create the "key concepts" of the field. Contributors focus on scholarship but are accessible enough for students in describing the strengths and limitations of strategic management and its history and evolution, methods of thinking and acting strategically in constructing competitive advantage, managing scope and strategy content, establish the role of the center in corporate strategy, taking a knowledge-based view, managing cognition and forming processes, and working through the top layer of management. They examine changing contexts in terms of the international market, the public sector, wealth formation, and technology, and close with a look forward to the meaning of strategy and management in the knowledge economy.
