European Academy of Management (EURAM) - Reykjavik 2018 Conference (June 20-23)
Special Interest Group: Strategic Management
Track: ST13_08 - Competition: Interfaces and Impact
The study of competition is at the core of strategic management scholarship but it also, more broadly, an interdisciplinary research topic. Studies of competition draw from and intersect various fields-from microeconomics to psychology, sociology, law and marketing. Competition is also a phenomenon of interest to a broad range of practitioners, from executives and middle managers to competition authorities and politicians. This EURAM track calls for research examining both various disciplinary interfaces of competition research as well as the numerous impacts that competition has on different actors in market-based societies. We hope to attract submissions coming from different theoretical and methodological backgrounds in order to collectively appreciate and explore the breadth of competition research and wide-ranging impacts competition has in our societies.
Research fitting this description includes but is not limited to:
(1) Competitive dynamics research (e.g., industry rivalry, market entry and entry deterrence strategies, multimarket competition) drawing from diverse fields (e.g., sociology, psychology, economics)
(2) Studies of competition along the value chain
(3) Studies of competition at individual and group-levels of analysis, both in business and non-business contexts
(4) Studies of the consequences of competition beyond firm performance; for example, industry structure, technological change and consumer welfare
(5) Studies of the relationship between different competitive action arenas (e.g., product market vs. factor market rivalry; market vs. non-market action; internal vs. external action)
(6) Studies of the interplay of competition and cooperation
We welcome submissions using both qualitative and quantitative research methods, including computational and formal modeling, as well as theoretical papers.
