1. External Environments
Industry Environment
Competitor Environment
I/O Model of Above-Average Returns
Four Assumptions of the I/O Model
The external environment is assumed to possess pressures and constraints that determine the strategies that would result in above-average returnsMost firms competing within a particular industry or within a certain segment of it are assumed to control similar strategically relevant resources and to pursue similar strategies in light of those resources
Four Assumptions of the I/O Model
Resources used to implement strategies are highly mobile across firms
Organizational decision makers are assumed to be rational and committed to acting in the firm’s best interests, as shown by their profit-maximizing behaviors
