Slide3 : Declining emphasis on single, domestic markets and increasing emphasis on global markets Advances in communication technology make coordination easier across multiple markets Advances in technology and innovation have increased competitiveness of small and medium sized firms National barriers are falling due to the number and scope of trade agreements (GATT, NAFTA, EEC) Factors Leading to More Complex Rivalry
Slide4 : Competitive Dynamics Results from a series of competitive actions and competitive responses among firms competing within a particular industry Competitive Rivalry Exists when two or more firms jockey with one another in the pursuit of better market position

Attack & Response Likelihood of Attack First Mover Incentives Likelihood of Response Type of Competitive Action Dependence on the Market Resource Availability Actor’s Reputation Competitive Slow, Standard or Fast Cycle Market Types Competitive Sustained Outcomes Competitive Advantage Temporary Advantage Evolutionary Outcomes Entrepreneurial or Market-Power Growth-Oriented Actions Feedback Model of Interfirm Rivalry:
Likelihood of Attack and Response
Slide7 : Drivers of Competitive Behavior Motivation Capability Awareness Model of Interfirm Rivalry:
Likelihood of Attack and Response
Slide8 : Does the firm have appropriate incentives to attack or respond? Drivers of Competitive Behavior Motivation Capability Awareness Model of Interfirm Rivalry:
Likelihood of Attack and Response
Slide9 : Does the firm have the necessary resources to attack or respond? Drivers of Competitive Behavior Motivation Capability Awareness Model of Interfirm Rivalry:
Likelihood of Attack and Response

Likelihood of Attack and Response
Slide11 : Competitor Analysis Resource Similarity Market Commonality Model of Interfirm Rivalry:
Likelihood of Attack and Response
Slide12 : Competitor Analysis Resource Similarity Market Commonality Multipoint competition tends to reduce competitive interactions, but increases the likelihood of response where interaction occurs
For example, airlines price flights similarly but respond quickly when competitors introduce promotional prices Model of Interfirm Rivalry:
Likelihood of Attack and Response
Slide13 : Competitor Analysis Resource Similarity Do competitors possess similar types or amounts of resources? Market Commonality Model of Interfirm Rivalry:
Likelihood of Attack and Response
Slide14 : Competitor Analysis Resource Similarity Market Commonality Firms are less inclined to attack a firm that is likely to retaliate Firms with dissimilar resources are more likely to attack Firms with similar resources are more likely to be aware of each other’s competitive moves Model of Interfirm Rivalry:
Likelihood of Attack and Response

Slide19 : Interfirm Rivalry:
Attack & Response Likelihood of Attack First Mover Incentives Likelihood of Response Type of Competitive Action Dependence on the Market Resource Availability Actor’s Reputation Whether a competitor is likely to respond depends on several key factors Model of Interfirm Rivalry:
Likelihood of Attack and Response
Slide20 : Types of Competitive Actions
Slide21 : Gauging the Likelihood of Response Actor’s Reputation Type of Competitive Action -Tactical or Strategic

Slide25 : Quality Speed Large firms may exert market power over rivals and erect barriers to entry against smaller competitors However, smaller competitors may be more nimble and innovative Ability for Action and Response Relative Size Innovation Model of Interfirm Rivalry:
Likelihood of Attack and Response
Slide26 : Relative Size Quality Innovation Speed Quick response is crucial to both the first mover and the fast second mover Ability for Action and Response Model of Interfirm Rivalry:

Likelihood of Attack and Response
Slide33 : Outcomes Evolutionary Actions
Growth-Oriented Actions Market-Power Actions Evolutionary Outcomes Sustained competitive advantage is a possible outcome in this instance Standard cycle markets often lead to highly competitive pressures despite world class products Firms with multimarket competition may dampen rivalry somewhat Sustained Competitive Competitive Market Types Slow, Standard or Fast Cycle Competitive Outcomes Advantage Temporary Advantage Model of Interfirm Rivalry:
Likelihood of Attack and Response
Slide34 : Sustained Competitive Outcomes Competitive Market Types Slow, Standard or Fast Cycle Competitive Outcomes Advantage Temporary Advantage Evolutionary Actions
Growth-Oriented Actions Market-Power Actions Fast cycle markets are intensely dynamic and a first mover advantage is often unsustainable Evolutionary Outcomes Firms may cannibalize older generation products while introducing new innovative premium products Sustainable competitive advantage is unilkely Model of Interfirm Rivalry:

Slide35 : Time (years) 10 Gradual Erosion of a
Sustained Competitive Advantage Returns from a Sustained Competitive Advantage
Slide36 : Some Firms Maintain Competitive Advantage
in Fast-Cycle Markets by Seizing the Initiative
Slide37 : Time (years) 10 Launch Exploitation Counterattack Returns from a Sustained Competitive Advantage Obtaining Temporary Advantages
