“…Recent literature has studied performance of firms within and between groups, and has highlighted, amongst others, firm size and intra-group rivalry (Mas-Ruiz and Ruiz-Moreno, 2011), mobility barriers and multimarket competition (Guedri and McGuire, 2011) and retaliation strategies on market entry (Mas-Ruiz et al 2014).…”

“…Such an approach is complementary to an econometric approach (see for example, McGee and Thomas, 1986;Fiegenbaum and Thomas, 1990;Thomas and Pollock, 1999;Leask and Parker, 2007;Guedri and McGuire, 2011) where insights are drawn from archival data. The cognitive approach allows researchers to directly access a firm's aspirations, as voiced and articulated by their senior managers, in a way that would be difficult to capture using archival data.…”

This study examines the concept of aspirational groups: a reference group that a firm wishes to associate with. A desire to belong to an aspirational group may provide an important source of strategy formulation. Drawing from insights from consumer marketing on aspirational groups, the study explores the composition and structure of aspirational groups compared to strategic groups in a market setting. Using qualitative data from senior managers in the UK general insurance market, this study arrives at the following findings. First, aspirational groups do not necessarily share the same composition or structure as strategic groups. Second, selection of aspirational firms is driven by attribute association. Third, aspirations can be conflicting and reversed. Fourth, firms do not seek membership of the aspirational group but isolate key attributes they aspire to. These findings contribute to knowledge on strategy formation by highlighting the important role aspirational groups play in understanding competitive market movements.

“…Nonetheless, these assumptions were systematically contested by scholars along to the 20th century. Thus, firms as well as products and clients are generally heterogeneous in real markets (Andersén, 2011;Barroso and Giarratana, 2013;Guedri and McGuire, 2011;Harrison and Kjellberg, 2010;Porac et al, 2011;Porter, 1980). In this same vein the remaining premises, i.e., complete information, full rationality and no opportunistic behavior were carefully investigated by many contemporary economists.…”

ABSTRACTThe aim of this paper is to analyze the role of innovation support agents (ISAs) in the development of new technology-based firms (NTBFs) from the perspective of information asymmetry among economic agents. It was performed a qualitative cross-case analysis about two business incubators, two business accelerators, and two science parks. According to the empirical data collected and posterior analysis it was found that ISAs contribute to the development of NTBFs in the following ways: distributing market information to them, reducing their search costs; enabling their social capital formation; borrowing reputation to them; reducing the search costs of market agents to access their NTBFs. Furthermore, these roles vary to the nature of the ISA investigated. Lastly, this research can be used as a reference by both, ISAs and NTBFs, regarding the development of the informational and social aspects of this latter.Keywords: information asymmetry, NTBFs, science parks, business incubators, business accelerators. RESUMOO objetivo deste artigo é analisar o papel de agentes de suporte à inovação (ASIs) no desenvolvimento de empresas nascentes de base tecnológica (ENBTs) a partir do conceito de assimetria de informações entre os agentes econômicos. Para isso, foi utilizada a abordagem qualitativa de análise comparativa de múltiplos casos em duas aceleradoras de empresas, duas incubadoras e dois parques tecnológicos. De acordo com os dados obtidos e sua posterior análise, foi verificado que os ASIs contribuem para as ENBTs da seguinte maneira: distribuindo informações do mercado, reduzindo, assim, seu custo de pesquisa; favorecendo a formação de suas redes de relações sociais; emprestando sua reputação; e reduzindo o custo de pesquisa de agentes de mercado no que tange o acesso às ENBTs. Não obstante, esses papéis variam de acordo com a natureza THE ROLE OF INNOVATION SUPPORT AGENTS IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF NEW TECHNOLOGY-BASED FIRMS FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF INFORMATION ASYMMETRY O PAPEL DOS AGENTES DE SUPORTE À INOVAÇÃO NO DESENVOLVIMENTO DE EMPRESAS DE BASE THE ROLE OF INNOVATION SUPPORT AGENTS IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF NEW TECHNOLOGY-BASED FIRMS FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF INFORMATION ASYMMETRYdo ASI investigado. De resto, esta pesquisa pode ser usada como referência para ambos, ASIs e ENBTs, no que se refere ao desenvolvimento de aspectos informacionais e sociais desta última.Palavras-chave: assimetria de informações, ENBTs, parques tecnológicos, incubadoras de empresas, aceleradoras de empresas.

In contrast, Zhang and Round (2009) Adapted from Chen (1996, p.108) multimarket contact on rivalry are observable in the context of industries other than the airlines, such as the US newspaper industry (Fu, 2003), the pharmaceutical industry (Guedri & McGuire, 2011) and the insurance industry (Greve, 2008).…”

Cet article propose et teste un modèle théorique qui suggère que la relation entre le niveau de contact multi-territoires (ou multipoints) et la rivalité entre compagnies aériennes européennes se caractérise par une forme en U inversé. Utilisant un échantillon important de compagnies aériennes sur la période 2002-2006, nous offrons une confirmation empirique de la relation en U inversé entre contacts multi-territoires et rivalité mesurés par les entrées et sorties des territoires d’un concurrent. Nous en concluons que la concurrence entre compagnies aériennes suit des périodes de rivalité et de retenue, peut-être indépendamment de la période et du contexte institutionnel.This study develops and tests a theoretical framework which suggests that the relationship between the level of multi-territory (or multi-point) contact and rivalry takes the form of an inverted U-shaped relationship. Drawing on a large sample of European airlines over the period 2001-2006, we provide empirical support for the inverted U-shaped relationship between multi-territory contact and rivalry as reflected by entries into and exits from the territory of a competitor. We conclude that competition between firms exhibits successive periods of rivalry and forbearance, possibly independently of time and institutional settings.Este estudio desarrolla y prueba un modelo teórico que sugiere que la relación entre el nivel de contacto multiterritorial (o multipuntos) y la rivalidad entre compañías aéreas europeas adopta la forma de una U invertida. Basándose en una amplia muestra de las compañías aéreas europeas durante el período 2001-2006, se proporciona una confirmación empírica de la relación en forma de U invertida entre contacto multiterritorial y rivalidad, como se refleja en las entradas y salidas del territorio de un competidor. Se concluye que la competencia entre las empresas muestra períodos sucesivos de la rivalidad y de reserva, quizás independientemente del período y del contexto institucional
