  1. †

    This paper was originally prepared as a basis for a lecture when I received an honorary doctorate at the Copenhagen Business School. I am grateful to Nicolai Foss for suggesting that I pursue independent publication to reinvigorate foundational research in strategic management. An anonymous referee greatly aided the exposition.
