Abstract

This introductory essay connects the various contributions included in the special issue on strategic dynamics and contrasts them with the static analyses that predominate in the strategy field. In addition to highlighting a variety of methodological approaches, the contributions shed substantive light on strategic dynamics at the value system and industry and firm levels. Taken together, they also suggest some broad directions for further work aimed at making dynamics a more important part of the future of the field of strategy.
