The purpose of this Journal of Management Studies Special Issue is to advance our theoretical and managerial understanding of corporate strategy in the digital age. This Special Issue seeks contributions that build on or substantially extend existing research streams on corporate strategy and market boundaries. We invite submissions that offer new concepts of competition, markets, and organizations, as well as submissions that develop key theoretical concepts, such as agency, transaction costs, information and technology, knowledge management and learning, and capability and resource development/deployment.
While this Special Issue is open-minded regarding phenomena, theories, and methodological approaches, contributions should relate to corporate strategy and theories of the firm with a particular emphasis on digitalization. We encourage submissions that build upon strategy, economic, financial, and organizational perspectives, and that are conceptual, quantitative, or qualitative. Specifically, we see potential for theory development and its application to advance key corporate strategy debates on the market/competition, firm/organization, and intra-firm levels.
Exemplary research questions pertaining to key debates within the intended scope of this Special Issue can be found in the full Call for Papers here.
