Scope of the Study
The concept of “strategic liabilities” has often been implicitly ignored in the strategy literature, despite it being the other side of the same coin of what the resource-based view of the firm defines as “strategic assets”. A firm’s strategic liabilities can originate from a variety of sources, including bad luck, competitor actions, unfavorable changes in context and from strategic assets themselves (Arend, 2004). The purpose of this study is to develop a more comprehensive understanding of the notion of strategic
liabilities by examining a situation from outside the business realm.
Specifically, the study will explore the relationship between the United States and Israel, the strategic rationale underlying this relationship, the transformation of Israel from asset to liability and the impact this has had on the dangers that the United States faces from global terrorism. In this context, three research questions will be addressed: (1) has Israel evolved from a strategic asset to a strategic liability; (2) if Israel has become a strategic liability to the United States, why does America continue with its “generous and unconstrained support” (Mearsheimer and Walt, 2007) for Israel; and (3) how can America’s relationship with Israel inform the leaders of today’s corporations?
