Abstract

Until the early 1980s strategic management was strongly informed by neoclassical economics, and notably the structure-conduct-perform- ance paradigm of industrial organisation economics (IO) (Caves and Porter, 1977; Caves, 1980; Porter, 1980). Broadly speaking the main thesis of IO is that competitive advantage derives from a privileged market position. It argues that the prime determinant of a firm’s performance is its external environment - the structure of the industry to which it belongs. In other words, according to the IO perspective the source of a firm’s profits is its market position, protected by barriers to entry into the market.
