Theoretical Foundations
Basic disciplinary theory is critical to any MBA education. Our disciplinary content recognizes that organizations create competitive advantage by having capabilities that are valuable, rare, imperfectly imitable, non-substitutable, durable, and lack transparency.We recognize that these capabilities are usually intangible and are socially complex, have causal ambiguity, and a unique historical condition.
Creating these types of capabilities requires participation and contribution from all the organization's stakeholders. This requires organizations to understand the role each stakeholder plays, and provide adequate incentives to insure their participation.
