Strategic Management and Competitive Advantage
Year: 2026
Type: article
Abstract: : This article examines the structural relationships between strategic management configurations and the sustainability of corporate competitive advantage within the contemporary globalized economy. Grounded in the synthesis of the Resource-Based View (RBV), Industrial Organization (I/O) economics, and Dynamic Capabilities Theory, this research presents a quantitative framework evaluating how asset configuration, market orientation, and technological integration dictate organizational performance. Utilizing a cross-sectional dataset compiled from 450 enterprise structures across varied competitive matrices, the empirical methodology leverages Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) to isolate the determinants of long-term operational superiority. The findings demonstrate a statistically significant positive relationship between the sophistication of internal innovation management and sustainable performance indicators ($r = 0.74, p < 0.001$). The results indicate that market-driven alignment of tangible and intangible organizational assets, reinforced by advanced big data analytics capabilities, accounts for substantial variance in market-share defense and margin optimization. The study concludes with formalized strategic insights designed to maximize value-creation pathways for managers navigating hyper-competitive environmental landscapes.
