Special issue on the dynamics of strategy.

This issue follows on from the previous special issue of the Journal of Business Research (Vol. 47, No. 1), containing a selection of papers from the Second Conference on the Dynamics of Strategy devoted to strategy under dynamic change. This special issue presents a selection of papers from the Third and Fourth International Conferences on the Dynamics of Strategy held at the Surrey European Management School, University of Surrey. The eight papers chosen represent the top four papers selected by both programme committees.

The Third and Fourth Conferences on the Dynamics of Strategy included papers making important scholarly contributions in areas pertaining to the conference themes. Keynote presentations at the Third Conference were given by Georg von Krogh (University of St. Gallen), Max Boisot (ESADE), Gerry Johnson (Cranfield School of Management) and George Thomason (University of Wales).

Papers selected for this issue were initially selected on the basis of abstracts, and then the papers were double blind refereed by the programme committee. Members included Roger Bradburn (American College of London), Jaz Gill (University of Bradford), Peter Kangis (University of Surrey), Jonathan Klein (University of Southampton), Dolores O'Reilly (University of Ulster), Stuart Sanderson (University of Bradford), Jim Slater (University of Birmingham) and Robin Wensley (Warwick University).
