Posted on 11 December 2012 by Muhamad Hafiz Bin Morad (Senior Librarian)

Abstract

This study examines the drivers of competitive advantage within the hospital industry. Specifically,
we examine both the direct and joint effects of market structure, firm-level competencies, and inter organizational relationships on organizational performance. The results of this approach indicated that managers, through their strategic actions related to the capabilities and relationships they develop and deploy, can establish advantageous competitive positions and influence the negative effects of market structure by developing important strategic competencies.
