Abstract: The focus in this paper is on integration and combination, as two important concepts in management systems. In this paper, a definition of integration and combination as related to business management is proposed. The lack of resolution can be extrapolated to basic dissimilarities in the competing resource-based perspectives on strategy and the application of strategy typologies based on those standpoints. A comprehensive literature review will be conducted. The authors identify a high-level meta synthesis of integration and combination definitions as related to business management. The findings argue that there are remarkable differences, but also similarities between the analyses of Schumpeter and Anderson's theories of integration and combination.
