Theoretical Isolation and Symmetry in the Resource-based View
(2010) Academy of Management Annual Meeting, 2010- Abstract
- Theorizing simplifies reality by means of "isolation" whereby some phenomena or aspects thereof are excluded from consideration. Using the case of the resource-based view, we discuss how theorists isolate. We develop a case for symmetrical isolations, show that the RBV violates a symmetry requirement, argue that a more symmetrical RBV implies novel insights in value creation and appropriation, and outline research heuristics based on the notion of symmetry.
