    Further information
    The Handbook of Research on Competitive Strategy presents a
    comprehensive state-of-the-art picture of current strategic management
    issues and demarcates the major investigation strands that are likely
    to shape the field into the future.

    The Handbook is the outcome of a far-reaching endeavour including new
    contributions from highly reputed experts around the world, outlining
    the conceptual and empirical advancements and assessing the promises
    and practical relevance of the competitive strategy field. Looking at
    key areas such as alliances and innovation, ownership and networks,
    coopetition and entrepreneurship, multinational and trust management,
    and the firm's financial structure and business models, the book sets
    a research agenda for the future of competitive strategy research.

    Gathering various solid branches of investigation that revolve around
    specific theories and applications (such as the socio-cognitive
    perspective, the strategy as practice view, and the most recent
    developments in competitive dynamics and the resource-based
    perspective of the firm), this inspiring and thought-provoking
    Handbook will provide executives, entrepreneurs, students and scholars
    in management with several insightful hints on the nature and process
    of competitive strategy emergence, configuration and development.
