Managerial cognition, sunk costs, and the evolution of industry structure

Article Abstract:

Research indicates that companies develop biased competitive environment estimates due to their concentration on nearby competitors, which is driven by bounded rationality and competitive pressure. It is concluded that stable performance and strategic heterogeneity will therefore emerge within a given industry, but this will decrease as costs of change and competitive pressures decrease.
