How to beat early movers: The role of competitive strategy and industry dynamism on followers’ performance in the telecommunications industry

The idea of first-mover advantages is frequently used by both managers and academics alike. Despite its importance for understanding the performance of entry in new markets, the evidence remains mixed. Our study advances research on the entry timing-performance relationship by adopting a contingency perspective that includes both micro (competitive strategies) and macro (industry dynamics) dimensions to explain differences in entrants' profitability. In this paper we focus on follower firms and propose that cost leadership is the best strategy for them to successfully entering a market. In addition, recognizing the contingency effect of industry dynamism, we also examine how market growth and technology evolution affect the effectiveness of followers’ competitive strategies. Specifically, we propose that followers will be better off by using cost strategies in growing markets, while when operating in contexts of technological change the performance of the cost leadership strategy will be lower.

Technology‐Based New Product Development Partnerships*

Hypotheses were developed to capture the dynamic capabilities that result from interfirm partnerships during the joint new product development (NPD) process—the ability to build, integrate, and reconfigure existing resources to adapt to rapidly changing environments. These capabilities, in turn, were proposed to have a positive impact on NPD performance outcomes: (a) proportion of new product success and (b) superior new product commercialization. In contexts where the locus of innovation is rapidly changing, the impact of interfirm NPD dynamic capabilities was hypothesized to be diminished in high‐technology contexts, especially for buyers (original equipment manufacturers) and to a lesser extent for suppliers. Still, technology‐based interfirm NPD partnerships were predicted to ultimately outperform low‐technology ones in both NPD performance outcomes. Finally, information technology (IT) support for NPD was hypothesized to influence the interfirm NPD partnership's dynamic capabilities. Using survey data from 72 auto company managers and their suppliers, the proposed model in which IT support for NPD influences the success of interfirm NPD partnerships through the mediating role of interfirm NPD partnership dynamic capabilities in high‐ and low‐technology contexts was generally supported. The results shed light on the nature of technology‐based interfirm NPD partnerships and have implications for their success. Theoretical and managerial implications are discussed.

论中国武术文化的保护

中国武术文化是中国传统体育文化的主要代表,具有显著的民族特色和时代价值.近代以来,中国武术文化遭受西方体育文化强势、实用主义、功利主义等各方面的冲击,面临着生存危机.中国武术文化的保护,成为一项迫切的研究课题和现实任务.当前,必须合理制定武术的发展模式,对武术文化遗产进行明确的定位,构建完整的武术文化保护理论体系.这是武术文化保护的工作全面展开的基础,也是促进中国武术发展的必然选择.     

散打中怎样击中对手

武术散打是双方遵循一定的规则,采用踢、打、摔等法相五击打以制胜对手的徒手搏斗技术.散打运动具有鲜明的格斗性和对抗性.要很好地掌握此技术,应从距离感、时机的把握、技术的运用、实际训练等方面进行强化训练,以达到出其不意、百战百胜的目的.     

老年产业发展对策研究

随着我国逐步进入老年化社会 ,老年产业已经成为国民经济中非常值得重视的组成部分 ,为此 ,政府应努力提高对老年产业的公共管理水平与效率。针对截然不同的老年产业两大构成部分 ,政府应采取不同的产业政策。对竞争性领域采取经济手段为主的“指导”政策 ;而对非竞争性领域采取政府适度干预政策 ,积极发挥政府的公共管理职能     

印度分权化改革及其对印度联邦制的影响

印度独立后确立的联邦制具有强烈的中央化的特征,被认为是“集权主义的联邦制”。1991年以来印度经济体制改革的一个重要内容就是集权联邦制下的分权化改革,这使得印度联邦制逐渐从合作型联邦制向竞争型联邦制转变。
