Abstract

This article deepens the analysis of the strategic balance perspective's boundary conditions through the lens of competitive dynamics, focusing on the particular case of small firms. We propose that competitive interdependence shapes the link between strategic similarity and small-firm performance. Specifically, we examine this boundary condition in terms of competitive asymmetry and market overlap between a small firm and two reference points, namely the industry leader and peers. We find that the effect of strategic similarity differs depending on whether there is competitive asymmetry and on the level of market overlap.

当你是一家小公司时，是要与众不同还是保持不变?竞争相互依赖是战略平衡视角下的边界条件

本文以中小企业为研究对象，从竞争动力学的角度对战略平衡理论的边界条件进行了深入分析。我们提出，竞争相互依赖塑造了战略相似性和小企业绩效之间的联系。具体来说，我们从竞争不对称和小企业与两个参考点(即行业领导者和同行)之间的市场重叠的角度来考察这一边界条件。研究发现，战略相似性的影响取决于竞争不对称性和市场重叠程度。
