The last several years has witnessed a growing interaction between
economists and sociologists engaged in the study of organizations'
strategies. Economists and sociologists can gain real insight from
these interactions. To date, however, these interactions have been
to ad hoc and unfocused to bear any real fruit. This volume moves
the discussion to the next level by focusing the discussion, and
taking a step toward systematizing some of the relationships
between economic and sociological approaches to strategic
management. To accomplish this, the volume reprints four 'matched
pairs' of influential articles on firms' strategies in economic
sociology and strategic management and use these articles to frame
a conversation between the articles' pioneering authors and other
prominent researchers in strategic management and sociology working
on closely-related research problems. Each pair of articles
followed by provocative essays - inspired by the pairing - written
by the articles' original authors. Two contextualizing commentaries
penned by influential strategy and organizations researchers - one
grounded in strategic management and one in economic sociology -
extend each conversation. A reflective reply from the articles'
authors concludes the conversation - for now. A framing
introduction and concluding epilogue, written by volume editors
Joel Baum and Frank Dobbin, set the stage both for the volume and
for future conversations between the disciplines in strategic
management.
