Synopsis

Changing business environments challenge established management ideas and practices. This volume draws on competence-based theory to identify and elaborate some important ways in which organizational competences are evolving - or should evolve - to respond to some fundamental forms of change in business environments. Part I of the volume examines some key elements of emerging business models and strategies, including the impacts of cloud computing on international business models. Part II examines the kinds of new capabilities firms will need to develop to become competent in their new business models and strategies. Part III suggests how the challenges of rapidly evolving environments call for further development of competence-based management theory.

About this title

Review

Editors Sanchez and Heene present students, academics, and management professionals with a collection of academic essays and articles that together provide an overview of the challenge to established management ideas and practices represented by the ongoing changes in business environments. The text uses competence-based theory to examine the potential for evolution in organization competences in a variety of business environments. The book is organized in three parts, devoted to an examination of elements of emerging business models and strategies, an examination of new capabilities that these emerging models will require, and an argument for the further development of competence-based management theory. Ron Sanchez is a faculty member of Copenhagen Business School, Denmark. Aim< e> Heene is a faculty member of Ghent University, University of Antwerp, and College of Europe, all in Belgium.
