Research Seminar with Sendil Ethiraj November 22nd

Sandil Ethiraj is a Professor of Strategy and Entrepreneurship at London Business School. Professor Ethiraj's research is built on the basic premise that firms are bundles of interdependent choices or complex systems. He unites his interest in understanding firms-as-complex-systems with the central questions in strategy that revolve around generating and sustaining competitive advantage. His research may be partitioned into two related themes. The first focuses on how complexity affects firm strategy and the unique tradeoffs that complexity imposes. The second examines firm capabilities and why they are complex and hard-to-imitate.
