Abstract

There is an important constraint that can be used to regulate mobility in competitive labor markets—the existence of a deeply felt rivalry between employers. Rivalry denotes a stable antagonistic relationship between companies, as exemplified by Apple and IBM in the 1980s. Analyzing data from the Palio di Siena (an ancient horse race in Siena, Italy), this article shows that direct moves between rivals are rare, accounting for less than 2% of all career moves in this context between 1743 and 2011. Rivalry constrains not only direct but also indirect moves to the ally of a rival or the rival of an ally. This article presents a framework describing how managers can harness rivalry: mapping rivalry, managing rivalry to capitalize on its positive aspects, and leveraging rivalry to adjust the level of competitive intensity.

选择好你的敌人：规划、管理和利用竞争

在竞争激烈的劳动力市场中，有一个重要的制约因素可以用来调节流动性——雇主之间存在着深刻的竞争。竞争意味着公司之间稳定的对抗关系，20世纪80年代的苹果和IBM就是一个例子。本文分析了锡耶纳赛马会（意大利锡耶纳的一场古老赛马）的数据，表明对手之间的直接移动很少见，在1743年至2011年间，在这种情况下，只占职业生涯所有移动的不到2%。竞争不仅限制了对对手的盟友或盟友的对手的直接行动，也限制了对其的间接行动。本文提出了一个框架，描述了管理者如何利用竞争：绘制竞争图，管理竞争以利用其积极方面，以及利用竞争来调整竞争强度水平。
