摘要

The strategy literature routinely emphasizes the importance of competitor assessment as part of strategic analysis and planning. In particular, the ability to sense and accurately predict competitors' future moves -referred to here as the competitive prediction capability - can form a basis for sustainable competitive advantage. Yet, managers are not always well-skilled at assessing competitors and often do not accurately anticipate competitors' actions. Apart from human factors that inhibit astute competitive reasoning, managers also lack the motivation to develop a competitive prediction capability because of perceived low payoffs from performing such an activity. Indeed, research has neither fully explicated the rare and difficult-to-develop nature of competitive prediction capability nor offered much empirical evidence of its rent-producing potential. Accordingly, this article conceptualizes competitive prediction as a learned, organizationally-embedded capability and empirically establishes its performance payoffs. Results from a tracking study via the Markstrat simulation show that firms that develop a competitive prediction capability achieve greater improvements in profitability and stock price performance over time. In addition, firms that employ data-driven approaches to competitor assessment make more accurate predictions than do firms that primarily rely on informal intelligence gathered from the grapevine. These findings hold important theoretical and managerial implications.
