“…Developed in reaction to the "five competitive forces" analysis (Porter, 1980), the RBV theory (Penrose, 1957;Chandler, 1977;Nelson and Winter, 1982;Prahalad and Hamel, 1990;Grant, 1991;Wernerfelt, 1995;Conner and Prahalad, 1996;Priem and Butler, 2001) has put forward the strategic relevance for firms to identify, acquire, and use resources and capabilities to achieve a sustainable competitive advantage. Within the resource-based view, knowledge has been regarded as a key strategic resource (see for instance Nonaka, 1994) leading to the formulation of a knowledge-based theory where the creation and application of knowledge identify the primary rationale for the firm (Bierly et al, 2000).…”

“…Tendo como base o trabalho de um dos pais da disciplina (Chandler, 1977), a área se baseia no argumento de que o capitalismo gerencial -governado por corporações modernas, que são administradas, por sua vez, por gerentes assalariados que se organizam por meio de um sistema hierárquico baseado em mérito -é superior a outros tipos de capitalismo.…”

Os debates acerca do capitalismo no contexto de sucessivas crises da globalização neoliberal, apesar de negligenciados pela literatura de gestão estratégica (GE), são de central importância para estrategistas e acadêmicos de economias emergentes. Informados pela hegemonia do capitalismo histórico ocidental e, em resposta à vinculação da literatura de GE dos EUA aos discursos do capitalismo neoliberal como opção única, a literatura europeia abraçou a teoria de variedades de capitalismo e construiu a abordagem de estratégia como prática social. Por meio de um diálogo com a área de estudos internacionais, este artigo discute que a hegemonia euro-americana contemporânea em GE ajuda a construir a autoridade legítima de estrategistas das grandes corporações, tanto a invisibilizar estrategistas euro-americanos de Estado quanto a deslegitimar estrategistas e organizações do resto do mundo que representam outros tipos de capitalismo ou alternativas ao ocidentalismo histórico. Ao final, os autores argumentam que o campo de estratégia no Brasil deve fomentar uma perspectiva de geopolítica do conhecimento em estratégia que ajude a superar algumas das restrições impostas pelo capitalismo histórico ocidentalista e a permitir a difusão de outros tipos de capitalismo e alternativas não ocidentalistas.

This paper argues that an adequate approach to the firm should be able to accommodate the complexities of actual firm development. The latter is conceptualized in terms of three general stages: prime movers or drivers of change, change processes, and change attractors. Furthermore, any "real-world" firm is both a technical and an institutional unit. To emphasize the importance of "real firm" analysis, the discussion presented here revolves around an understanding of the much considered case of General Motors and Fisher Body integration has developed over time. Generalization from this case suggests that an integrated view of the firm is necessary that combines the three stages and the two bases (technical and institutional). Six general perspectives on the firm are identified as having technical or institutional bases that are relevant in each of the three stages. This integrated approach to the firm is explored in terms of the general topic of firm development. It is concluded that, without an integrated approach to firm development, a potentially biased or incomplete analysis can result.
