Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Professor Ghemawat argues that commitment is key to gaining a competitive advantage, but can leave a firm vulnerable to rapid and disruptive changes. He and other leading strategy scholars explore the intricacies of developing and sustaining a dynamic competitive advantage. Yet, economists argues that most firms eventually fail to maintain competitiveness. Functionally efficient financial markets, by capitalizing innovative entrants and culling uncompetitive firms, sustain economy-level prosperity. Ghemawat (1991) highlights this tension: firm-level competitiveness can give investors high returns for years, while returns regress towards the mean. Applying this insight to well-documented historical episodes of rapid innovation in various industries, we show that leading U.S. firms in 1920s acquired durable competitive advantages, as did many in the 1960s, but that later entrants often felled early leaders in the 1990s IT boom, consistent with intensified creative destruction. Still, even these shorter-term winners paid well above average cumulative returns. Strategy research that could predict the durability of leading firms’ competitive advantages through an era of rapid innovation would have tremendous value to practitioners in finance.

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
