摘要:

AbstractWhile comprehensive, ongoing competitive intelligence systems generate valuable input for broad strategic decisions, they often fail to provide the specific actionable information needed by managers operating in a project‐oriented environment. This paper proposes a project‐based framework for competitive analysis. The framework was developed from field reseach involving 16 projects. A comparison of project‐based and comprehensive competitive analysis systems is made to illustrate their differences. A case example from field research is utilized to illustrate concepts central to this approach and its practical utility. A set of guidelines regarding pitfalls to avoid in project‐based competitive analysis is pr

摘要:

AbstractGlobal strategy has recently emerged as a popular concept among managers of multinational corporations as well as among researchers and students in the field of international management. This paper presents a conceptual framework encompassing a range of different issues relevant to global strategies. The framework provides a basis for organizing existing literature on the topic and for creating a map of the field. Such a map can be useful for teaching and also for guiding future research in this area. The article, however, is primarily directed at managers of multinational corporations, and is aimed at providing them with a basis for relating and synthesizing the different perspectives and prescriptions that are currently available for global strategic management.

AbstractThis paper explores the implications of the learning curve for competitive strategy under a range of assumptions regarding competition and the nature of the learning process. A game‐theoretic model is used to examine how the learning rate and information diffusion affect entry barriers, profits, and price dynamic

摘要:

AbstractThe nature of the multivariate relationship between six characteristics of planning systems and three different conceptualizations of planning effectiveness is examined using canonical correlation analysis. The analysis indicates that the organizational context of planning—captured here by two key characteristics—resistance to planningandresources provided for planning—is the dominant impact on planning system effectiveness, broadly construed. While individual design elements of the planning system such asuse of techniquesandexternal orientationdo influence effectiveness, the contextual dimensions appear to be overriding. Implications for further research on planning systems and directions for future extensions of this study are disc

摘要:

AbstractSome literature suggests that managers' perceptions of strengths and weaknesses indicators vary by management level. Differences likely result because of individuals' cognitive schemes, which include their cognitive biases. In turn, systematic errors may occur in managerial decisions. Results from the research reported herein support the notion that managers' perceptions of the indicators of a firm's strengths and weaknesses, and of environmental uncertainty, vary by managerial level. Differences in these perceptions were discovered to be more significant within each firm. Implications of these results are examined, including the impact on the deployment of firms' strategy formulation processes.

摘要:

AbstractThis research examined predictions drawn from value‐based planning models. Results indicate that profitability and growth do influence shareholder value in the manner predicted; however, the relationships are conditional. This study also shows that, the market‐to‐book value of equity ratio and Tobin's q‐ratio are theoretically and empirically, equivalent measures of value c
