Taking the complexity turn in strategic management theory and research
Published 2017“…The study describes asymmetric models of implemented strategy and competitive advantage for ROE, negation of ROE, and complex outcome statements for agribusiness firms (n = 247) across seven Latin America national as well as tests the predictive validities of models across specific nations for the models of sampled firms within Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, and Nicaragua. The findings support thepropositions that constructing complex antecedent statements (i.e., algorithms/configurations/ recipes/screens) are useful for indicating high performance or the negation of high performance consistently. …”
