"The framework offered in the book provides a basis for the continuous refinement of the field's research agenda. It has been shared with strategy process researchers and practitioners at the Strategic Management Society's meetings and mini-conference on strategy process research. The book itself comprises nine papers written by North American and European scholars, and is clustered into four streams that follow from the framework: chapters that track strategy content longitudinally; chapters that study the impact of important strategy process elements on performance; chapters that study the links between a firm's context and process elements; and chapters that seek to study context/process/outcomes."

"The editors provide a commentary on the strengths and weaknesses of each stream."--Jacket
