    Description

    Professor McDonald studies how firms successfully navigate new markets. He examines how widely accepted strategic prescriptions can actually undermine managers’ attempts to develop a viable business model or stake out a defining new market position, and considers the important role played by entrepreneurial resource providers in these processes. Empirically, he relies on a complementary range of methodologies – in some instances solving problems deductively through quantitative analysis of archival data, complemented by fieldwork while in other instances adopting an inductive approach that draws on structured interviews and field research to generate new insights.
