Written by leading academics, practitioners and emerging stars,The Palgrave Encyclopedia of Strategic Management provides a long awaited, rich and comprehensive overview of this vibrant field.

The goal has been not only to provide an exemplary reference work for students, teachers, scholars and practitioners wishing to understand the central ideas and issues in strategic management, but also to make a substantive contribution to the field, and thus aid its continuing development and growth.

The field of strategic management, which started to emerge in the second half of the twentieth century is in particular need of such a defining reference work because of its relatively fragmented character and its newness. While many handbooks and edited volumes cover certain areas within the field, no one has thus far attempted to pull together such a comprehensive overview of the field: its history, schools, applications, biographies of key individuals and indeed the role of practitioners in its advancement.

The Editors have paid special attention to ensure that all aspects of the field are covered. Efforts have been made to secure a balance between the theoretical and the more empirically/practitioner oriented side of strategic management.

Modeled on the landmark reference publication The New Palgrave Dictionary of Economics, The Palgrave Encyclopedia of Strategic Management is set to become the standard reference work on the subject for many years to come.

Mie Augier is an associate professor at the Naval Postgraduate School and Research Associate at Stanford. She works on research on organizational behaviour, culture, economics and security, strategy, and net assessment. She has published more than 70 articles in journals and books and co-edited several special issues of journals and books. Her most recent book is The Roots, Rituals and Rhetorics of Change (With James March, Stanford University Press, 2011). Her current research interests include: the history and future of net assessment; strategic management; the links between economics and security; the development of an interdisciplinary framework for strategic thinking and new security economics.

Professor David Teece from the University of California - Berkeley is the Thomas W. Tusher Chair in Global Business and Director of the Institute for Business Innovation at the Walter A. Haas School of Business. He is one of the most influential management thinkers of our era. His influence on strategic management research and practice during the last 30 years has been nothing short of extraordinary.

David Teece almost single-handedly invented the 'dynamic capabilities' approach in strategic management that has become a core paradigm in this field of academic inquiry and is also used extensively by international business scholars. Teece's main piece on this subject has received over 15,000 citations on Google Scholar. Teece's work and ideas have been central to the development of the field of strategic management.

Teece is an authority on subjects including the theory of the firm and strategic management, the economics of technological change, knowledge management, technology transfer, and antitrust economics and innovation. He has a Ph.D. in economics from the University of Pennsylvania, has held teaching and research positions at Stanford University and Oxford University, and has also received three honorary doctorates. Dr. Teece has testified before Congress on regulatory policy and competition policy, is author of over 200 books and articles, and is the editor of "Industrial & Corporate Change" (Oxford University Press). According to Science Watch, he is the lead author on the most cited article in economics and business worldwide, 1995–2005. He is also one of the top 10 cited scholars in economics and business for the decade, and has been recognized by Accenture as one of the world's top 50 business intellectuals.

David Teece has been instrumental in ending the 'inhospitability tradition' in US courts vis-à-vis transaction-cost-reducing and efficiency enhancing strategic decisions made by business forms (e.g. anti-trust cases in the context of vertical integration, mergers, acquisitions etc.). In 2010, Dr. Teece co-founded Berkeley Research Group, LLC, an expert services and consulting firm of economists and other professionals with expertise across economics and finance, data analytics and statistics, and public policy in sectors including healthcare, banking, information technology, energy, construction, and real estate.
