THE ROLE OF COMPETITIVE ACTION IN MARKET SHARE EROSION AND INDUSTRY DETHRONEMENT: A STUDY OF INDUSTRY LEADERS AND CHALLENGERS.

Ferrier, W. J., Smith, K. G., Grimm, C. M.·1999·Academy of Management Journal

Abstract

Market share erosion and dethronement of market leaders are examined through the lens of “Austrian” economics. Our results suggest that leaders are more likely to experience market share erosion and/or dethronement when—relative to industry challengers—they are less competitively aggressive, carry out simpler repertoires of actions, and carry out competitive actions more slowly. These findings, based on seven years of data collected in 41 industries, contribute to research on hypercompetition, organizational decline, and competitive dynamics.

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.
