What is the impact of the changing world of business on the way in which companies organize themselves? Based on detailed investigations inside such well-known and pioneering companies as Ericsson, Volvo, ABB, and Hewlett Packard, this book argues that companies are increasingly organized as networks. They are spinning off business to external companies, and breaking up their internal structures to make individuals more entrepreneurial and accountable for performance. This book describes the capabilities that companies need to develop in order to work effectively in this new networked form.

This pioneering book, available in paperback for the first time, represents leading-edge thinking on contemporary issues in business strategy, globalization, and technology management. The Dynamic Firm brings together well-known international experts in the fields of technology (such as Richard Nelson and Nathan Rosenberg); strategy and organization (such as Ikujiro Nonaka and Hirotaka Takeuchi); and international business (such as Michael E. Porter, John Dunning, and Allen J. Scott).
Business strategy is becoming increasingly "pluralist", drawing on
the insights of different disciplines, and business practice in
different parts of the world. This book brings together the work
and ideas of leading international scholars working in the field
under three main headings - technology, strategy and organization,
and regions. The purpose of the book is to explore from different
perspectives the dynamic interplay between the technology of a firm
- its strategies, organizational choices and issues of place,
region, and location. The contributors are Peter Hagstrom, Alfred
Chandler, Takahiro Fujimoto, Richard Nelson, Nathan Rosenberg, Erik
von Hippel, Cristiano Antonelli, Giovanni Dosi, Benjamin Coriat,
David Teece, Gunnar Hedlund, Pari Patel, Keith Pavitt, Ikujiro
Nonaka, Hirotaka Takeuchi, Lars-Gunnar Mattsson, John Cantwell,
John Dunning, Michael Enright, Masahisa Fujita, Ryoichi Ishii,
Allen Scott, Orjan Solvell, Ivo Zander, J-C Spender, and Michael
Porter. Together they address the challenge of explaining the
long-run competitiveness of firms in an ever more global world.
