Competitive Tension: The Awareness-Motivation-Capability Perspective
研究了企业间竞争紧张的形成机制，基于认知-动机-能力视角，发现相对规模、对手攻击频率和对手竞争能力三个因素独立且交互地影响管理者与行业利益相关者感知的竞争紧张程度。
This paper investigates competitive tension, or the strain between a focal firm and a given rival that is likely to result in the firm taking action against the rival. Drawing on the awareness-motivation-capability perspective, we show how perceived competitive tension, as constructed from managers' and industry stakeholders' competitor assessments, is influenced by the independent and interactive effects of three factors: relative scale, rival's attack volume, and rival's capability to contest. Our results provide a new avenue for studying competitors and the relationship between competitor analysis and interfirm rivalry.
