Assunta University of Rome,[1] where he is the Founding Director of the MSc Degree in Economics and Management.

He is known for his foundational and influential work on coopetition strategy and for initiating the study of temporary competitive advantage.

Education[edit]

He graduated at Bocconi University of Milan and received his PhD Degree in Business Economics and Management from the University of Catania and MURST-The Italian Ministry for University and Scientific and Technological Research.

Career[edit]

Since 2001, Dagnino has researched coopetition strategy, and, with Richard D'Aveni and Ken Smith, in 2010 has inaugurated the study of temporary competitive advantage as a consequence of hypercompetition. In addition, Dagnino is researching hubris-driven strategies[2] and the relationships between strategy, entrepreneurship and governance.[3] In this field, he received the "Best Paper Proceedings" Award by the Academy of Management for a study on corporate governance and international diversification.

Dagnino's research contributions revolve around the advancement of the strategic theory of the firm with specific focus on coopetition strategy dynamics, the relationships between strategy, entrepreneurship and governance, and the management of temporary advantages.[4]

More recently, he has been carrying out various research projects and graduate teaching on digital transformation strategies,[5] digital mindset, big data and advanced analytics, and AI strategy.

Dagnino's work has appeared in pioneering books such as "Coopetition Strategy: Theory Experiments and Cases", Routledge, 2009; "New Frontiers in Entrepreneurship. Recognizing, Seizing, and Executing Opportunities", Springer, 2010; "Coopetition: Winning Strategies for the 21st Century", Elgar, 2010; "Research Methods for Strategic Management", Routledge, 2016; "Entrepreneurial Ecosystems and the Diffusion of Startups", Elgar, 2018, "Foundations of Coopetition Strategy. A Framework for Competition and Cooperation", Routledge, 2021, and the recent trailblazing tome of Elgar Research Handbooks in Business and Management series The Research Handbook of Digital Strategy, Elgar 2023.

He was Associate Editor of Long Range Planning and served on the editorial boards of Academy of Management Review, Strategic Management Journal, Long Range Planning, Journal of Management and Governance, International Journal of Strategic Business Alliances, International Studies of Management and Organization, American Journal of Business, Journal of Entrepreneurship, Business and Economics and Journal of Industrial and Business Economics, as well as in the scientific advisory board of Grenoble Ecole de Management.

Dagnino is Co-editor of the Journal of Management and Governance, chair of the Scientific Committee of LUMSA Digital Hub, as well as chair of the Departmental Committee on Sustainability[6]

Impact[edit]

Academic

Professor Dagnino's work and streams of seminal publications have been instrumental in establishing and landing two entirely new fields of study and practice in the management realm:

(1) coopetition strategy, a field of study/practice he contributed to set off over a decade ago; and

(2) the kickoff and extension of temporary advantage.

Practice

Coopetition Strategy

Teaching. As a fallout of the stream of publications and the various initiative and activities conducted over time on the relevant issue and its ensuing international recognition, coopetition and coopetition strategy receive specific treatment in a range of standard undergraduate and graduate textbooks in strategic management, such as F.T. Rothaermel, Strategic Management. McGraw-Hill (3rd edn. 2016), and R.M. Grant, Contemporary Strategy Analysis. Wiley (11th edn. 2021).

Dictionaries. The term coopetition is shown today in many major English dictionaries such as Cambridge and Collins.


Temporary Advantage

Consulting. BCG Henderson Institute Podcast on Temporary and Sustainable Nature of Competitive Advantage (28/09/2022): https://bcghendersoninstitute.com/rita-mcgrath-and-roger-l-martin-on-the-nature-of-competitive-advantage/

Military. His pioneering publication on temporary competitive advantage in Strategic Management Journal (2010), has been cited and used since July 2020 by the US Indo-Pacific Command (USINDOPACOM), US Army War College and the Strategic Studies Institute (SSI), in their report An Army Transformed: USINDOPACOM Hypercompetition and US Army Theater Design. The USINDOPACOM is responsible for integrated military actions in India, Vietnam, Japan, Korea, Indonesia, China, Australia, New Zealand, and Hawaii.

Contrary to the customary flows of knowledge that has traditionally arrowed from to military strategy to strategic management, this condition shapes an extraordinary reverse effect from strategic management to military strategy.

Public Engagement[edit]

Professor Dagnino is closely involved with business practice and publicly engaged by means of governance and advisory roles, research projects, op-ed writing, and executive and professional education programs.
