    Notes: As this paper documents, Edith Tilton Penrose’s (1959) classic The Theory of the Growth of the Firm is one of the most influential books of the second half of the twentieth century bridging economics and management. Yet, there is little understanding of the process by which this classic came about and the lessons to be learned concerning research creativity. This paper explores Penrose’s (1959) ‘resources approach’ to the growth of the firm as an iterative process of scientific discovery via induction and scientific justification by deductive reasoning. We focus on: (1) the research process that led to Penrose’s (1959) classic; (2) the book’s contributions to management; (3) the generative nature of Penrose’sresearch for current resource-based theory; and (4) future research building on Penrose’s ‘resources approach’.

    Notes:   We argue that Rugman and Verbeke (2002) underestimate the importance of Penrose's (1959) contributions to the modern resource-based view of the firm. In particular, we take issue with Rugman and Verbeke's (2002) arguments concerning Penrose's (1959) contributions to our knowledge of: (1) the creation of competitive advantage, (2) sustaining competitive advantage, (3) isolating mechanisms, and (4) competitive advantage and economic rents. In our response, we show that Penrose (1959) has both directly and indirectly influenced the modern resource-based view of strategic management.
