Cooperation and Coordination

"The essence of a firm is the set of relationships among its stakeholders and between itself and other firms."
Relationships and Contracts

"Although spot contracts predominate in number in business portfolios, they rarely predominate in value."
Architecture: A Distinctive Capability

"All firms possess organizational knowledge in the sense that an insurance company knows about insurance and an automobile manufacturer knows about automobiles."
Reputation: A Distinctive Capability

"All producers need to convey to prospective purchasers information about their goods and services."
Innovation: A Distinctive Capability

"If innovation is costly and uncertain, it is nevertheless competitive. "
Strategic Assets

"A natural monopoly becomes a far more sustainable competitive advantage if it is combined with a strategic advantage based on sunk costs."
Markets: From Distinctive Capabilities to Competitive Advantage

"What markets are best enabling us to translate our distinctive capability into a competitive advantage?"
Mergers: From Distinctive Capabilities to Competitive Advantage

"Value is added only if distinctive capabilities or strategic assets are exploited more effectively."
Sustainability: From Distinctive Capabilities to Competitive Advantage

"Innovation advantages are most frequently sustainable when they are supported by other distinctive capabilities or are protected by complementary assets."
Appropriability: From Distinctive Capabilities to Competitive Advantage

"The success of the corporation depends on its ability to retain much of the added value it creates and to prevent it from being dissipated among its workers, suppliers, and customers."
The Value of Competitive Advantage

"In order to measure either competitive advantage or added value, it is necessary to charge the firm for the capital employed in the business."
Why National Economies Succeed

"When is it right for the corporation to appropriate wealth that it has not itself created?"
