Abstract

In this paper we examine some fundamental epistemological issues in building grand theory (intended to be applicable to all cases and contexts) and mid-range theory (intended to apply to defined kinds of contexts) in strategy. We illustrate the epistemological challenges in building grand theory in strategy by considering important differences in the abilities of two ?grand theories? in strategy ? industry structure and firm resources theory ? to support development of conceptually consistent models and propositions for empirical testing and refinement of theory. We then suggest how the Competence-Based Management (CBM) perspective may provide the foundational concepts needed to integrate and revitalize development of strategy theory addressing both industry structures and firm resources.
