This volume brings together critical scholarly contributions to historical and contemporary debates over the origins and characteristics of organizational capabilities that result in competitive advantage. Included are case studies drawn from textiles, chemicals, automobiles, computers and agriculture that illustrate how organizational capabilities generate sustained competitive success. In a new introduction, the editors, who have themselves been in the forefront of analyzing the dynamics of innovation and industrial development, provide a survey of the subject. The book contains 26 articles, dating from 1919 to 1993. Contributors include: A.D. Chandler Jr., A. Marshall, R.R. Nelson, H. Schumpeter, K. Wada.
