Managerial Competitor Identification: Integrating the Categorization, Economic and Organizational Identity Perspectives.
Doctoral Dissertation, University of Pittsburgh.
(Unpublished)
Abstract
This dissertation integrates three perspectives capable of explaining how top managers identify their organization's competitors: categorization, economic and organizational identity. In order to explore these perspectives a qualitative theory elaboration methodology is employed. Accordingly, a model of managerial competitor identification is developed. In addition, the three perspectives are integrated into this model to produce a robust theoretical framework.
