  Fierce competition, volatile markets and an increasing pressure to innovate characterize the current economic situation in many industries. As a consequence, the strategic management of organizational competences becomes increasingly important. Only organizations that govern learning and change processes strategically will succeed under such conditions. Against this backdrop, the papers in this edition of the Journal of Competence-based Strategic Management use various conceptual lenses to examine diverse phenomena of strategic learning in detail.

• Vol. 5 (2011)

  Editors: Dietrich von der Oelsnitz and Wolfgang Güttel

  Strategic alliances, joint ventures, international franchise systems and networkorganized value added partnerships have become the standard repertoire of strategic management. Cooperative systems have also developed as a main topic in the research area. This reader views the theme of cooperation from a resource based and competence oriented perspective. Skills and capabilities are in the focus of successful management of inter-organizational co-operations. Their analysis will be enlarged by focusing selected industry sectors (film industry, fiberglass net industry).

• Vol. 4 (2010)

  Editors: Michael Stephan and Wolfgang Kerber

  The yearbook Strategic Competence-Management, Volume 4, 2010 was originally published by Rainer Hampp Verlag.

  The 4th volume of the Journal of “Competence-based Strategic Management” deals with the issue of ‘Ambidexterity: Keeping the Balance between Resource Exploration and Exploitation’. To keep this balance is considered to be a critical organizational challenge in the resource- and competence-based view in management, since it implies the domestication of a trade-off relationship. Resource exploration and exploitation are two fundamentally different patterns of activities within organizations that require conflicting capabilities. Over the last two decades, the trade-off between exploration and exploitation has emerged to one of the epicenters of competence-based management research. The leitmotif has been addressed by many authors with different perspectives and varying research questions. Though, there are still gaps in understanding ambidexterity. This volume therefore centers on this phenomenon and tries to establish a clearer understanding of ambidexterity. On the one hand, it provides a forum for taking stock and conducting a synopsis of the results in the existing body of literature on ambidexterity. On the other hand, the volume tackles open questions and shortcomings in the current research on the topic, e. g. basics in building the theoretical construct, empirical insights and network ambidexterity.

• Vol. 3 (2009)

  Editors: Heike Proff, Christoph Burmann and Jörg Freiling

  The yearbook Strategic Competence-Management, Volume 3, 2009 was originally published by Rainer Hampp Verlag.

  The third volume of the periodical „Competence-based Strategic Management” is devoted to the question of whether and to what extent the competence-based approach can contribute to a „theory of the firm”. Initial studies were conducted in the 1990s which encouraged further research. More recently, however, many leads have not been followed up because questions relating to the principles of sustainable competitive advantage appeared more important in the context of strategic management. An important
  area for research therefore still remains here alongside explanations of sustainable competitive advantage and associated performance differences. This volume features six academic studies which have all passed through a double blind review process and which focus on research into the nature of the firm from different perspectives. They concentrate in the context of competence research on five core questions of the theory of the firm: why and how are firms formed? Why and how do firms change over time? How do the boundaries of firms change? What are the organizational structures of firms? How can the decline of firms be explained?

• Vol. 2 (2008)

  Editors: Jörg Freiling, Christoph Rasche and Uta Wilkens

  The yearbook Strategic Competence-Management, Volume 2, 2008 was originally published by Rainer Hampp Verlag.

  This 2nd volume of the periodical “Competence-based Strategic Management” (double-blind review process”) addresses the causal relationships between individual skills and collective competence. It focuses upon the phenomenon of close relationships between organizational competences and other ontological levels in the realm of competence-based management. E.g., individual skills and team-based capabilities typically make up an organizational competence. Over and above this, relational competences emerge due to aligned behaviour in interfirm collaboration (e.g. alliances and networks). By now, strategic management research predominantly addressed organizational and relational competences whereas research on human resource management is much more involved in individual and group-related issues. However, a considerable research gap is the still missing integration of the different ontological levels. This volume intends to address this gap by five articles.
