Abstract
On the morning tide, December 27, 1831, The HMS Beagle, captained by Robert Fitzroy, set sail from Devonport harbor in the southwest of England. She was bound, on this morning after Boxing Day, for South America and the Pacific Ocean to chart ocean depth and to undertake any necessary scientific and military investigations. As The Beagle cleared the protective embrace of the harbor and plunged into the channel proper, below her decks lay Fitzroy's friend and companion, Charles R. Darwin. Darwin was at the time miserably, wretchedly, violently seasick.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Business Strategy publishes articles with a practical focus designed to help readers develop successful business strategies. Articles should say something new or different and may propose a unique perspective. They should not offer prescriptions to CEOs on how to manage, but rather be directed toward middle and senior managers at companies of all sizes and types, as well as consultants and academics who want to think about their businesses in new ways. Coverage: As one of the few journals dedicated to business strategy, JBS defines strategy in the broadest sense and thus covers topics as diverse as marketing strategy, innovation, developments in the global economy, mergers & acquisition integration and human resources. We have a penchant for substantive, provocative and well-written articles. We also like to break the mould and include articles on topics readers are unlikely to find in other business publications.
