Abstract
The economic analysis of property rights was pioneered in the 1960s, and has had some impact on strategic management theory over the last decade. These ideas redefine resources as endogenous outcomes of transaction cost economizing, link transaction costs and value creation and capture, and highlight the role of contracting in competitive strategy.
