Persistent heterogeneity and sustainable innovation
One of the concerns with strategy as a field is that its goal (durable profits) appears at odds with that of microeconomics (homogeneous firms with zero profits). Thus even if sources of durable profits can be found, maybe one should not - because doing so comes at the expense of social welfare. In this sense, strategy is an "economic bad." Probably the most vivid evidence of this tension is the fact that Porter's Competitive Strategy (1982) is Industrial Organization turned on its head - exploiting indications of anti-competitive behavior to create prescriptions for durable profits. This study presents a parallax view in which the field of strategy is an economic good. In this view, heterogeneity stimulates innovation and economic growth. The underlying logic is that heterogeneity fuels diffusion; diffusion erodes leaders' shares; the loss of shares stimulates innovation, which in turn fuels new diffusion. This view is developed through a simple model of firms embedded in an industry, and then the model is evaluated via simulation
