A strategic management and innovation approach to onshore gas transmission pipeline construction
TLDR
An agile, Internet-based real time system for the management of transmission pipeline construction and its central feature is the cooperative planner, which enables tight integration between the management and the production of the pipeline.Abstract:
This paper proposes an agile, Internet-based real time system for the management of transmission pipeline construction. The architecture enables tight integration between the management and the production of the pipeline. Its collaborative and distributed operational and project management framework allows selected parties discrete access to project management subsystems, electronic documents and structured real time information. A central feature of the architecture is the cooperative planner. Users collaborate through project initialization, planning, and scheduling of the pipeline construction project. As job plans are executed, and their status updated accordingly, all information is used by the planner to notify managers of possible adjustments required to the plan. The responsible people can then decide the course of action required and make changes to the plan accordingly. Because of the agile architecture, it is possible to set up multidimensional and temporary planning hierarchies, which are important for agile production processes. The system can also be used as a plan simulator, to assess risks involved with a proposed plan. This paper presents an architectural overview and details of a prototype system. Although pipeline construction has been selected as a target application the approach is suitable for any distributed manufacturing or civil project.

Dynamic capabilities and strategic management
TL;DR: The dynamic capabilities framework as mentioned in this paper analyzes the sources and methods of wealth creation and capture by private enterprise firms operating in environments of rapid technological change, and suggests that private wealth creation in regimes of rapid technology change depends in large measure on honing intemal technological, organizational, and managerial processes inside the firm.
Competitive advantage: creating and sustaining superior performance
TL;DR: Porter's concept of the value chain disaggregates a company into "activities", or the discrete functions or processes that represent the elemental building blocks of competitive advantage as discussed by the authors, has become an essential part of international business thinking, taking strategy from broad vision to an internally consistent configuration of activities.

TL;DR: The most powerful way to prevail in global competition is still invisible to many companies as discussed by the authors, which is why the concept of the corporation itself has not yet been recognized as a powerful competitive advantage.
