Performance implications of delayed competitive
responses: evidence from the U.S. retail industry
•Key question: What are the performance implications of the response timing to competitor moves?
The implications for both the first mover and the followers
•Theory– Previous research predicts a negative linear relationship between response timing and
respondent performance (economics (fast second strategy response), marketing (marketing
aggressiveness in terms of pricing and advertising), strategy (quick and vigorous retaliation)
The theory of first mover and follower advantages •Biases in strategic decision-making• Combination
of bad luck, conscious choices, and “blind spots”
9 different types of competitive moves –Event study methodology – fast follower strategy key
Focuses on timing & consequences of competitive responses on performance
Study suggests other results than past studies, response delay has a curvilinear relationship
with responder performance and linear relationship with first mover performance
First movers have superior market insight
Quick responses in market have to be good, not just quick.
Literature overlooks risks to respond too fast
In past literature, fast is best (build barriers), but is it (signal incumbents to defend market
positions)?
Response timing = consequences of fast versus delayed competitive responses
Response order = responders’ position in a temporal series of response
Response delay = amount of time took to respond, measured in working days
If 2nd follower comes quickly -> bad for first and second
Response timing
