Performance Variations Among Strategic Group Members: An Examination of Individual Firm Capability
重新检验了战略集团分析中的成员-绩效模型，发现企业个体能力会调节共享战略特征对绩效的影响，并通过对55家制造企业的实证分析证实了集团内能力和绩效的显著差异与相关性。
Because of inconsistent empirical evidence, the membership-performance model pervasive in strategic group analysis is re-examined. We propose that individualfirm capabilities, which reflect capacity to implement or change strategy, moderate the effect of members' shared strategy characteristics on performance. Controlling for market structure, we defined two strategic groups based on common strategy characteristics among 55 manufacturing firms. We found significant differences in performance and capabilities within each group. There was also evidence of a significant correlation between capabilities and performance within each group. We conclude that effects offirms' capabilities should be accountedfor to increase the explanatory power of strategic groups in competitive performance.
