Advances in Business Strategy
and Competitive Advantage
(ABSCA) Book Series
Business entities are constantly seeking new ways through which to gain advantage over their competitors
and strengthen their position within the business environment. With competition at an all-time high due
to technological advancements allowing for competition on a global scale, firms continue to seek new
ways through which to improve and strengthen their business processes, procedures, and profitability.
The Advances in Business Strategy and Competitive Advantage (ABSCA) Book Series is a
timely series responding to the high demand for state-of-the-art research on how business strategies are
created, implemented and re-designed to meet the demands of globalized competitive markets. With a
focus on local and global challenges, business opportunities and the needs of society, the ABSCA en-
courages scientific discourse on doing business and managing information technologies for the creation
of sustainable competitive advantage.
