This study seeks to answer the question, "How have strategic management research evolved?" Within the framework of this question, an investigation has been made on the basis of the position view, the resource-based view and the complementary (micro) views which have an impact on the historical development process of the strategic management discipline between 1980 and 2018. The review was carried out in the form of systematic resource review, taking into account the historical formation order of the approaches and micro-views. In order to carry out the study within a certain framework, a comparison was made within the framework of three criteria: (1) theoretical foundations of approaches and micro views, (2) competitive advantage bases and (3) sustainability mechanisms. As a result, theoretical frameworks and suggestions have been made with the potential to contribute to the consolidation, improvement and expansion of the strategic management area.

Öz

Bu çalışma, “stratejik yönetim araştırmaları nasıl evrilmiştir?” sorusuna cevap aramaktadır. Bu soru çerçevesinde stratejik yönetim disiplinin 1980-2018 yılları arasındaki tarihsel gelişim sürecinde etkisi olan Pozisyon Yaklaşımı, Kaynaklara Dayalı Yaklaşım ve Kaynaklara Dayalı Yaklaşımı tamamlayıcı (mikro) görüşler temelinde bir inceleme yapılmıştır. İnceleme yaklaşımların ve mikro-görüşlerin tarihsel oluşum sırası dikkate alınarak sistematik literatür incelemesi şeklinde gerçekleştirilmiştir. Çalışmayı belli bir çerçevede yürütebilmek adına, yaklaşımların ve mikro görüşlerin (1) teorik temelleri, (2) rekabet avantajının dayanakları ve (3) sürdürülebilirlik mekanizmalarına ilişkin açıklamaları çerçevesinde bir karşılaştırma yapılmıştır. Sonuçta stratejik yönetim alanının birleştirilmesine, iyileştirilmesine ve genişlemesine katkı sağlama potansiyeli olan teorik çerçeveler ve öneriler sunulmuştur.
