Abstract: While knowledge has been described as the most strategic resource, and learning as the most strategic capability, our models of strategy and industrial economics are still defined within the traditional context of physical product. Building on traditional notions of strategy, this paper provides a knowledge-based framework for defining strategy and competitive advantage.

Keywords: business strategy; knowledge management; knowledge strategy; organisational learning; industrial economics; competitive advantage; intellectual capital.
