Strategic Management Journal
The research approach
Develops a conceptual framework explaining competitive advantage through organizational processes, distinctive assets and historical development in rapidly changing technological environments.
What the research finds
Argues that advantage depends on capabilities and historical paths, with durability shaped by competitors' ability to imitate and the firm's ability to replicate activities.
Why it matters for management
Offers a foundation for discussing how organizations renew managerial and technological capabilities when adopting agentic systems.
Scope & limitations
A theoretical framework rather than an evaluation of contemporary AI adoption; it does not establish that any particular implementation strategy will improve performance.
