Abstract
While scholars have recently started to study chief strategy officers (CSOs), this new role in many firms is still not well understood. This paper sets out to address this challenge by providing a comprehensive study of these strategists using qualitative and quantitative evidence, across industries and across time. As opposed to those of other functional heads, the characteristics and roles of CSOs are much more varied in nature with some focusing upon single activities such as mergers and acquisitions and others being engaged in a wide range of responsibilities relating to a firm’s strategy more generally. This empirical observation, based upon interviews with CSOs, gives grounds for enquiry into whether there are specific types of CSOs. Drawing upon the knowledge-based view, we propose a conceptual typology for classifying different types of CSOs distinguished by the extent of firm-specific knowledge and task-specific knowledge. This framework is then tested with data from a unique sample of S&P 500 firms revealing that there are indeed different CSO types and that the presence of a specific type is associated with a firm’s corporate strategy
