Patterns of strategic choice in emerging firms: positioning for innovation in biotechnology

Article Abstract:

This study examines the strategic choices of emerging firms seeking to capitalize on revolutionary technological change. These firms exhibit rapid and significant shifts in innovation priorities and pursue substantively different strategies in their attempts to exploit a common technological discontinuity. This analysis of new U.S. biotechnology firms reveals four distinct positioning strategies that reflect real differences in research and development priorities, emphases on external collaboration, and the timing of strategic choices.

Shaping conversations: making strategy, managing change

Article Abstract:

The quality of both strategic thinking and action rely, in important ways, on the quality of the strategic conversations underway at all levels in the organization. The design of these conversations is the defining contribution of the strategy-making process. When these strategic conversations about the design of the future operate successfully at both local and organizational levels, they create a "meta-capability" for strategy-making capable of both furthering intended strategy and at recognizing opportunities for emergent strategy.
