Explore theoretical and methodological extensions in competitive dynamics research using the Awareness-Motivation-Capability (AMC) perspective. Delve into competitive actions of industry giants Coca-Cola and Pepsi to gain insights on organizational and industry characteristics, action-reaction dyads, and multi-market competition. Analyze strategic simplicity, complexity, predictability, and conformity across observed sequences to understand competitive behaviors. Examine methodological advances and predictive theories to enhance comprehension of competitive actions and performance outcomes. Engage in advocacy presentations to discuss research articles and identify gaps for future exploration.

Theoretical Extensions • What are most important theoretical or conceptual extensions? • Do we better understand “how” or “why” competitive action occurs? • Have we moved toward a predictive theory of competitive dynamics? • What more do we need?

Methodological Extensions • What are the most important advances in data, levels of aggregation, measures and analytical methods? • Do we now better understand “how” or “why” competitive action occurs? • …and how action relates to performance? • Have we moved toward a predictive theory of competitive dynamics? • What more do we need?
Advocacy Presentations • Three teams – three sets of research articles • Discuss and present (~10 minutes) • General idea/phenomenon, research questions, motivation for these studies • Theoretical reasoning • Key constructs • General hypothesized relationships • General research approach • Data & measures • Analysis approach • Key findings • Overall contribution • What’s missing? …and… What’s next?
