“…Second, each researcher working independently read and coded the content in the documents. The next step involved an item selection and classification process (Jauch et al, 1980). Although we used computer‐based analysis of the data with Concordance™ software, it did not replace the human judgments and interpretations on which the semantic validity largely depends (Krippendorff, 2004a).…”

a b s t r a c tThis paper theoretically refines and empirically extends the debate on the type of interplay between relational experience and contractual governance in an under-researched area: supply chain disputes. We define relational experience as either cooperative or competitive; distinguish between control and coordination functions of contractual governance; and assess their interplay on the negotiation strategy used in disputes. Using a unique data set of buyer-supplier disputes, we find, in particular that increasing contractual control governance weakens the positive effect of cooperative relational experience on cooperative negotiation strategy. However, increasing contractual control governance for a buyer-supplier dyad with competitive relational experience will increase cooperative negotiation strategy. Contractual coordination governance reinforces the positive effect of cooperative relational experience. Through this study, we reach a better understanding of how and when contractual and relational governance dimensions interact; rather than whether they act as substitutes or complements as has been studied in prior research. We discuss the implications of these findings for the field of supply chain management.

“…We examined those firms’ competitive actions during the six‐year window and identified 1158 firm‐year observations. In line with prior research, we performed structured content analysis (Ferrier and Lyon, ; Jauch, Osborn and Martin, ) of the news reports.…”

“…We develop several hypotheses by building on these literatures, and test them using longitudinal data from the mobile phone operator industry. We study the cooperative and competitive actions of firms over the period 2000–2006 and use the structured content analysis (Ferrier and Lyon, ; Jauch, Osborn and Martin, ) method to identify competitive and cooperative actions. The results show that being central in the coopetitive network increases the firm's competitive aggressiveness through the increased volume of competitive actions (labelled ‘competitive activity’) and the diversity of competitive actions (labelled ‘competitive variety’) undertaken by the firm.…”

This research examines how a firm's position in a coopetitive network (formed through cooperation among firms within an industry) influences the extent of the firm's competitive aggressiveness and market performance. The authors collected data on the competitive and cooperative actions of firms in the mobile telephone industry from 2000 to 2006,using structured content analysis of news reports. The results show that the centrality of a firm in a coopetitive network contributes to the firm's competitive aggressiveness through increased volume and variety of competitive actions. Further, the more central a firm is in the network, the greater is its market performance. Firms that undertake more volume and variety of competitive actions improve their market performance. Overall, these results show that being in a central position in a coopetition network is quite advantageous for the firm.

“…We employed a structured content analysis technique (Jauch et al., 1980; Weber, 1990) to code Shell's strategic renewal actions reported in the company's annual reports. According to Kimberley and Miles (1980), historical records of actions actually taken by an organization are often the most accurate source of their strategic decisions.…”

Using the upper echelons perspective together with corporate governance and strategic renewal literature, this paper investigates how top managers' corporate governance orientation influences a firm's strategic renewal trajectories over time. Through both a qualitative analysis and a quantitative analysis , we investigate this under-researched question within the context of a large incumbent firm: Royal Dutch Shell plc. Our results indicate that top managers having an Anglo-Saxon corporate governance orientation are more likely to pursue exploitative and external-growth strategic renewal trajectories, while those having a Rhine corporate governance orientation are more likely to pursue exploratory and internal-growth strategic renewal trajectories. We also found a positive moderating effect of the proportion of shareholders from the Anglo-Saxon countries on exploitative and external-growth strategic renewal trajectories. Our findings indicate that top managers' corporate governance orientation can be an important antecedent of strategic renewal and of organizational ambidexterity, both of which influence corporate longevity.
