Аннотация
Population ecologists, emphasizing the powerful constraining influence
of environment on organizational autonomy, challenge the validity
of the notion of strategic choice, which is so central to the field
of business policy. This criticism may apply legitimately at the
level of single organizations, but it does not reduce the importance
of strategic choice at the collective level of analysis. A framework
for analyzing strategic actions undertaken jointly by members of
interorganizational collectivities is offered, based on a social
ecological approach.
