Reconceptualizing competitive dynamics: A multidimensional framework
提出了一个五维竞争框架，涵盖竞争目标、方式、参与者、行动工具和时间跨度，并对比了对抗性竞争、合作竞争和关系竞争三种模式，对管理者和学者理解现代竞争环境有参考价值。
Competitive dynamics research, despite progress, lacks a conceptual framework that can extend the field's reach to address today's environment. Increasing stakeholder power and globalization are but two of the organizational and economic forces compelling a broader conceptualization of competition. Our framework expands competitive dynamics along five dimensions—aims of competition, mode of competing, roster of actors, action toolkit, and time horizon of interaction—that prove useful for contrasting the rivalrous and competitive‐cooperative modes and a new approach we call relational competition. We draw conjectures about the moderators, such as industry and culture, that determine the appropriateness of these forms of interaction, and conclude by relating our method to three discrete perspectives: the configurational, transaction cost, and stakeholder views .
