制造商在复杂和不确定的环境中竞争，全球竞争日益激烈，市场不断变化和新兴，制造技术水平不断提高。赢得订单取决于他们是否有能力实现一系列具有外部客户导向的竞争能力，并体现出单个企业与竞争对手的相对优势。本研究提出了一个框架，研究竞争能力，报告的发展，一套结构来衡量这些能力，并测试它们之间的关系。该结构衡量灵活的产品创新，质量，交付可靠性，有竞争力的价格和溢价。这些结构在各个行业都是可靠的。结构模型的检验表明，竞争能力之间的显着关系和显着的，积极的，和直接间接的关系之间的竞争能力和盈利能力。结果是基于4个行业的244家公司的样本。
Manufacturers compete in a complex and uncertain environment with growing global competition, changing and emerging markets, and increasing levels of manufacturing technology. Order winning hinges on their ability to achieve a set of competitive capabilities that have an external, customer orientation and manifest the relative strength of the individual firm against its competitors. This study proposes a framework for research on competitive capabilities, reports on the development of a set of constructs for measuring those capabilities, and tests relations among them. The constructs measure flexible product innovation, quality, delivery dependability, competitive price, and premium price. The constructs are reliable across industries. Tests of a structural model suggest significant relations among the competitive capabilities and significant, positive, and direct-indirect relations between the competitive capabilities and profitability. Results are based on a sample of 244 firms across 4 industries.
