ABSTRACT

The concept of parenting advantage provides a clear framework and guiding principles for decision-making at the enterprise level, including enterprise portfolio management and enterprise organization. Since its introduction in the mid-1990s, the concept has quickly been adopted by many standard textbooks on strategic management and is part of most business school curricula. In this paper, we examine the influence of the concept of maturation dominance through a systematic analysis of existing literature. Our analysis shows that this concept is widely accepted in qualitative research and is widely applied to enterprise funds, enterprise tasks, specific industries and business environments. Finally, we have drafted a future research agenda that advances the parenting advantage as an effective concept for enterprise-level strategy.
