The Strategic Role of Product Quality
Abstract
The role of product quality is examined to determine its applicability as a means of gaining a comparative advantage. The authors argue that only by (1) allowing for the possibility of feedback between quality and other strategic factors and (2) controlling for firm-specific effects can the role of quality and key hypotheses be evaluated. Making use of the PIMS data base, the authors detect feedback interactions between product quality and other strategic variables. The findings suggest the importance of product quality and that the successful implementation of a quality strategy can facilitate increased profitability in both a focus and a market share context.

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.
