Olivier Furrer, Howard Thomas and
Anna Goussevskaia
This paper analyses 26 years of strategic management research published in Academy of
Management Journal, Academy of Management Review, Administrative Science Quarterly
and Strategic Management Journal. Through a content analysis, it studies the relationships
between the subfields of strategic management. A multiple correspondence analysis
provides a map of keywords and authors, and a framework to track this literature over the
26-year period. A discussion of future pathways in the strategic management literature is
also provided.
Introduction
The purpose of this paper is to study the
evolution of the strategic management literature
based on an analysis of the content of the past
26 years of strategic management research
published in the leading journals in the field,
namely, the Academy of Management Journal
(AMJ), Academy of Management Review (AMR),
Administrative Science Quarterly (ASQ) and
the Strategic Management Journal (SMJ). The
paper serves not only to assess the structure
and past evolution of the content of the
strategic management field and its different
subfields, but also presents some conjectures
about further developments in this literature.
By helping strategic management scholars to
understand better the direction in which
the field is going and where the gaps are, the
paper is intended to provide a guideline for
scholars in positioning their future research
efforts.
We therefore focus on two questions. First,
what is the content and the evolution of strategic
