Minding the Competition: From Mapping to Mastery
Abstract
Cognitive approaches to strategy have examined the subjective nature of business environments and competitive situations, but have failed to show how managerial mental models lead to superior economic performance. In contrast, resource-based views of strategy acknowledge the importance of managerial skills in creating economic rents, but have not examined the processes through which managerial cognitions lead to sustained competitive advantage. To address this deficit, this article develops a sociocognitive capability approach that integrates cognitive and economic theories. This approach: (1) identifies sociocognitive foundations of differentiation and cost; (2) examines how these foundations emerge from the process of strategy development; (3) explains how group capabilities influence this process; and (4) shows how human and organizational resources give rise to group capabilities. The article concludes by discussing implications and directions for future research.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
