Abstract This paper seeks to examine the importance aspects of strategy and information technology create sustainable competitive advantage. Various discussions about strength competition, technology, strategies by researchers were previously analyzed. study design a conceptual framework important role in creating scientific articles from leading journals are reviewed again, especially that dis...

Before canals and railways developed as a major transport network, it was seldom profitable to transport beer inland over more than a few miles. In country towns and villages, therefore, beer would be brewed either by a small 'common' brewery that supplied a handful of pubs and private customers, or in an even smaller brew-house attached to the pub itself. Many families also brewed their own be...

Hunt’s (1972) observation of asymmetric strategies pursued by strategic groups of firms in the U.S. white goods industry more than three decades ago sparked an explosion of industry and cross-industry studies. Departing somewhat from the prevailing industrial organization logic of that time, strategic groups—clusters of firms pursuing similar competitive strategies (Porter, 1980)—represent diff...

We use theory and experiment to explore the effectiveness of price-guided mechanisms to assign resources in package allocation problems. Two mechanisms are tested: the combinatorial clock auction (CCA) of Porter, Rassenti, Roopnarine, and Smith (2003) and a matched version of the simultaneous ascending auction (SAA), similar to designs currently in use for spectrum and electricity sales. Unlike...

To identify the customer value provided from the business process and to seek additional opportunities to fortify a firm’s competitive advantages, we explore the value chain mentioned in (Porter, 1985) at a greater extent. The study results in a framework where an information-processing infrastructure is added to the value chain concept to provide a basis for the business process investigation....

Competitive advantage is a key concept in strategic management research for a number of reasons—not the least of which is that an avowed consequence of its attainment is held to be superior economic performance. However, few prior empirical studies have directly and systematically documented the incidence or prevalence of persistent superior economic performance. The research reported here is b...
