Abstract
The Austrian school of economics has informed current thinking in strategy, such as in the area of dynamic competitive action and response. Austrian economics also is likely to contribute to theory development for the resource-based view of the firm. For example, entrepreneurial vision and activity are core constructs of the Austrian school that also play central roles in the relationship between resources and organizational capabilities that lead to competitive advantage. The Austrian school, however, needs to be interpreted and transposed to a managerial perspective if it is to be useful for theory development in strategy. Further, the Austrian school may be complementary with, rather than opposed to, other root disciplines of strategy, such as industrial organization economics. McWilliams and Smart (1995, this issue) and Hunt (1995, this issue) may be the beginning of an important ongoing dialogue that adds, rather than trims, constructs in the strategy field.
