Operationalizing the Concept of Business-Level Strategy in Research
Abstract
The concept of strategy continues to elude a common definition and operationalization. My purpose in this paper is to discuss alternative ways of operationalizing strategy, their strengths and limitations, and their appropriateness to different research questions. My particular focus is on business-level strategies, and I include an overview of available research questions involving business-level strategy.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
