Les capacités stratégiques correspondent aux expertises et aux savoir-faire principaux qu’une entreprise possède. On parle aussi de compétences-clés.
On doit cette notion au duo bien connu en management : Hamel et Prahalad dans les années 1990. Mais elle repose sur une longue tradition de recherche en management stratégique qui commence dans les années 1950 avec Selznick et qui se poursuit avec des auteurs clés comme Barney, Teece ou Collis.

Antony, together with his colleagues from NEOMA, presents research conducted with the University of Bristol on how international companies choose countries for sourcing. The concept of "country risk," once focused on economic conditions and political stability, now includes three major sociopolitical factors: populism, which creates regulatory uncertainty; state fragility, which affects suppliers’ ability to deliver; and checks and balances, which can limit but not always prevent political drift.
The study, covering 1,300 U.S. companies and their suppliers in 90 countries, shows that these factors directly influence sourcing decisions. Examples like Samsung and H&M illustrate this shift toward countries perceived as more stable. In conclusion, companies must strengthen their geopolitical monitoring to anticipate risks and secure their supply chains.
