3 characteristics of first mover performance
1. Superior market insight
2. Entrepreneurial prowess
3. Competitive creativity

- Do first mover advantages lead to better performance? → Can they be sustained?

This paper:
- Develop theory on first mover and follower advantages by revisiting the issue of response timing
- Look at consequences fast vs delayed competitive responses

Past literature:
- Overlooks risks responding too fast
- Responding too fast can lead to performance disadvantages (making too hasty commitments)

Research question: What is the nature of the response timing-performance relationship?
- Prior research: the relationships of responder and first mover on performance are both linear
- This paper: considering other perspectives, conscious choices and competitive blind spots → only effect
of first mover on performance is linear
→ effect of responder on performance is curvilinear

Theory:
- Economics, marketing and management theory say: we need quick responses to competitive challenges
→ to limit the first mover in getting a competitive advantage
- Economics theory:
- Profit advantage of imitation (fast second > first mover)
- Cost advantage from learning from mistakes first mover
- Marketing theory:
- Response aggressiveness: fast marketing mix reactions to entry
- Management theory:
- Aggressiveness and fast responses
- Porter (1985):
- Quick response → first mover can't build barrier
- Quick response → signal incumbent commitment to defend market positions
- Quick retaliation is necessary to limit an attack
- Prior literature: mixed results → both fast and delayed responses have advantages

- This paper proposes a curvilinear relationship → intermediate response delays are best
- Focus of this paper on dynamic, competitive environments (in these environments, firms are
motivated to compete aggressively and firms are likely to make errors)
- The response-timing decision is a balancing act
- When firms respond too quickly there are too many uncertainties, when firms respond too
slowly this is not good for performance

2

, - Firms respond too quickly or too slowly because of (see Table 1):
- Bad luck: incorrect assumptions after analysis
- Conscious choice: deviate from appropriate timing scenario after analysis
- Blind spots: incomplete / incorrect analysis → leads to cognitive biases:
1. Limited perspective to frame problems
2. Escalation of commitment (nonrational)
3. Overconfidence in judgement

- First movers need time to absorb first mover benefits → a fast response by competitors means
the time of first movers is cut short
- Too late responses don’t harm first mover → more time to claim benefits (like greater
market share & profits)
- Too fast responses do harm first mover (even if the response is inferior) → first mover
can’t expand as planned

Hypotheses
- H1: Responder performance and response delay are related in an inverted U-shaped manner: Lower
performance will result for fast and late responders, and higher performance for firms with intermediate
response delays

- H2: First mover performance and response delay are related in a linear manner: As response delays are
longer (shorter), performance decreases are smaller (greater)

, Sample
- US retail industry → has intense rivalry
- 1994-2000
- 17 largest US department stores, 119 company years

Method
- Quantitative study
- Structured content analysis of press articles (competitive dynamics research)
- Nine move types: e.g. pricing moves, marketing moves, m&a moves, legal moves
- Explicit reference to an earlier action
- Competitive moves that are similar to earlier actions
- 12 months time frame response
- Event study methodology
- Stock effects → two-day event window

- Dependent variable: stock effects of responses (responder & original actor)
- Independent variable: response delay (difference date of the action and date of the response)

Results
- Response delays have dissimilar first mover and responder performance effects in a competitive industry
environment
- Hypotheses supported?
- H1 supported
- H2 supported
- The study uses multiple conceptual lenses
- Contribution: there is a direct link between response timing and stock market performance
- Limitations: small sample size, just one industry
