Conference Mission
The "big picture" strategy questions...
Where do competitive and distinctive advantages come from, and how are
they sustained?
Why do some companies and new ventures consistently outperform their
competitors?
Why do some businesses succeed in the same industry environments where
others fail?
And what, if anything, can managers and entrepreneurs actually do about it?
What are the unique challenges of building and sustaining competitive
advantage in special contexts like new ventures and international business?
The aim of this annual conference is to improve our ability to answer these
"big picture" questions and other related questions of corporate strategy,
entrepreneurial strategy, and international strategy, by bringing together
some of the world's top researchers on competitive advantage for three days
each year in Atlanta.
We expect to:
Share cutting-edge research, ideas and theories.
Foster collaborative research efforts.
Build a worldwide association and network of researchers who are dedicated
to advancing the state of knowledge about competitive advantage.
