Competitive dynamics, strategic consistency, and organizational survival
研究战略一致性在竞争行为中的作用,构建演化模型解释其与长期组织生存的关系,并指出模型可被实验或模拟检验,帮助管理者调整竞争行为模式。
Abstract This study investigates strategic consistency in competitive behavior. We construct a logically consistent evolutionary model, providing a causal argument to link a level of strategic consistency to long‐term organizational survival. According to our results, strategic consistency seems to be related to both organizational survival and the most efficient change over time concerning the key elements of a firm's strategy. One of the benefits of the model is that some of the components and processes may be manipulated through experimental or simulation interventions. This means that the model can be formally tested in future studies and managers can use it to fine‐tune patterns of competitive behavior. Copyright © 2008 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
