Do stable strategic time periods exist? Towards new methodological and theoretical insights
This paper investigates a fundamental issue in the current research on strategic groups: the existence or non-existence of the so-called 'stable strategic time periods' (SSTPs). Our study provides new evidence by adding new methodological and theoretical insights. The research setting is the Spanish banking industry over a 15-year period, 1983-1997. Unlike all prior longitudinal research that found SSTPs, the multi-method procedure that we used in this study (i.e. equality of variance and covariance matrix and mean vector of strategic variables and a subsequent grouping analysis performed through the MCLUST) has led us to reject the existence of SSTPs in the industry under study. Based on these original findings, we conclude by suggesting a proposition which should be corroborated in future empirical studies on strategic groups. Copyright © 2007 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
