Disentangling Interfirm and Intrafirm Causal Ambiguity: A Conceptual Model of Causal Ambiguity and Sustainable Competitive Advantage
构建了一个理论模型，将因果模糊性按企业边界划分为企业间和企业内两类，并阐明其对可持续竞争优势的不同影响，为未来研究提供方向。
Causal ambiguity is a well-established construct in the strategy literature. Theorists have yet to differentiate and fully refine the construct in ways that clearly demonstrate its influence on sustainable competitive advantage. To address this limitation, I develop a theoretical model that partitions causal ambiguity based on firm boundaries and specifies the organizational implications of this distinction. This model deepens our understanding of causal ambiguity and provides guidance about promising avenues for future research.
