In this study, we examined how firm-specific competitive conditions influence firms' patterns of market entry and exit, focusing on two features conditions: domain overlap, which measures the potential for competition, multimarket contact, mutual forbearance. A dynamic analysis California commuter airlines from 1979 through 1984 showed that increases in overlap raised rates but contact lowered them, especially markets clearly dominated by a single airline. Thus, paradoxically, close...

In this study of firms’ entries into and exits from each other’s markets, we link research on multipoint competition to the emerging action-oriented, dyadic approach interfirm rivalry by specifying market interdependencies between pairs firms that condition their potential for over time. Our dynamic analysis competitive interactions commuter airlines in California reveals idiosyncratic asymmetric microstructures characterize relationships helps explain why grapple vigorously with some...

We redirect research attention on multimarket contact from its consequences to antecedents. Our empirical examination of the evolution dyadic contacts among California commuter a...

In this study we examine how links between dominant designs and competitive processes influence patterns of founding failure in telecommunications service industries characterized by positive network externalities. We the effects design established Consultative Committee on International Telephone Telegraph (CCITT) for facsimile transmission technology organizations (FTSOs) that provide a variety services over shared network. The findings clear evidence ecological an evolving organizational...

Purpose This paper aims to focus on formation motivations and processes of R&D consortia appreciate their differential innovative learning capabilities. Design/methodology/approach The presents its argument in two separate steps. First, a two‐by‐two framework, comprising four consortium types, is developed based (i.e. risk sharing networking) emergent engineered). Four case vignettes are used demonstrate the practical relevance typology framework. Second, capabilities each these explored...

Purpose Further understanding of structural hierarchy is critically needed to assess the usefulness different alliance structures. This study goes beyond transaction cost reasoning and incorporates social exchange theoretic perspective with aim capturing concurrent relationships type specific experience structure. Design/methodology/approach Logistic regression analysis data on 402 strategic alliances used test two hypotheses advanced in paper. Findings The social‐exchange‐based hypothesis...

The article discusses a study that analyzes the relationship between strategic planning to business performance using meta-analytic techniques. It comments on how publication bias, inclination publish data depending statistical significance, can often misreport results. Moderator variables for include industry effects, firm size, and type of used. results found small was planning. Firm size played large role in determining final

The fit between corporate strategy and alliance purpose is examined in this paper. While early research on alliances recognises various purposes, their role facilitating implementation not delineated the literature. Identifying two dimensions – impetus context we develop a framework to organise different classes of purposes. We argue that since are moves pursue strategies, selecting purposes align with specific strategies would increase performance partnering firms by successful implementation.

Abstract This research investigates the performance of 200 largest public Canadian companies between 1984 and 1991, using a community ecology approach. We use dynamic model firm to estimate structure competitive mutualistic interactions among firms operating in five sectors economy. The results show how large each economic sector is enhanced or diminished by other through complex systems interdependencies. These relationships bind economy into an integrated organizational community....

This article adopts a community ecology approach to study the employment dynamics of large Canadian organizations from 1985 1992. We construct dynamic model organization-level incorporating organizational characteristics, interactions with other in productive sector, relationships sectors an economy, and aggregate economic indicators. Our results demonstrate importance among different for understanding national economy. Furthermore, they illustrate benefits uniting ideas research on dynamics.

Purpose – Further understanding of structural hierarchy is critically needed to assess the usefulness different alliance structures. This study goes beyond transaction cost reasoning and incorporates social exchange theoretic perspective with aim capturing concurrent relationships type specific experience structure.

In this manuscript, we bridge two important, but often separate, streams of strategy research on the core competence perspective and upper echelons theory. We develop a model how top management team characteristics influence choices made concerning resources capabilities pursued by pharmaceutical firms those impact innovative productivity. particular, propose tenure, education level functional background, as well heterogeneity in tenure product line breadth frequency new market entry,...
