“…Baum & Korn, 1999;Gimeno & Woo, 1996a, 1999Yu & Cannella, 2007) have integrated the two, in essence by considering the former to be a subset of the latter (Upson, Ketchen, Connelly, & Ranft, 2012). That is, they have employed notions from multimarket competition to provide, in particular, a theoretical framework that enables competitive dynamics researchers to investigate interfirm rivalry at the corporate level.…”

We provide a critical retrospective of the competitive dynamics perspective before proposing an integrative research platform for the future. We argue that competitive dynamics can serve as a synthesizing framework for linking strategy content and process, resource-based and market perspectives, strategy development and implementation, and macro-competitive and micro-actor viewpoints. We first present the core distinguishing elements and purposes of competitive dynamics. Then, we identify and relate the most prominent research themes in the field: a focus on action/response dyads, strategic competitive behaviors, competitive repertoires, corporate-level competitive and resource analyses, and competitive perceptions. Characteristic methodological concerns are also discussed. Recent trends in each of these areas are highlighted; these include an increased emphasis on context-specific research, cross-border investigations, and behavioral interdependencies. We conclude by identifying gaps in the literature and proposing a general model and research agenda that integrates micro-behavioral and macro-organizational aspects of strategy and connects competitive dynamics to previously unexplored domains in the literature. There is some repetition in the presentation so that most sections can be read independently.

“…If operations are not going well in one country, this leaves open the possibility of leaving that supply relationship (an abandonment option) in favor of one where the liabilities are not as great. Rather than firms expanding one country at a time, perhaps some firms gain footholds in many countries, providing them with the right, but not the obligation, to expand their sourcing relationships in those countries at an opportune moment (Upson et al, 2012).…”
