In order to answer these questions and explain what drives the competitive relationship between two firms, the extent to which pairs of firms share and compete within the same sets of markets is examined in the intemational hotel industry. Choice of market location is of great significance to competitive posture in this industry because of the distinct industry characteristics of high fixed costs, sensitivity to capacity constraints, cycles of overbuilding, high operating leverage and market segmentation. The study draws upon mimetic isomorphism and multiple point competition theories in an effort to explain why intemational hotel chains might share the same markets with other chains. Data from 1984 to 1993 were obtained from the Directory of Hotel and Motel management. The study makes use of a combination of quantitative and qualitative research methods. The study shows how market similarity provides a good starting point to identify competitors, particularly in those industries where a local market presence is importcint. Market similarity between two firms does not necessarily mean the pair of firms compete directly; the intensity of rivalry also depends on other relevant factors. However, similarity on such factors alone (without market similarity) also does not necessarily mean a pair of firms compete directly.

Rivalry occurs when firms strive for potentially incompatible competitive positions (Caves, 1984; Scherer & Ross, 1990). Although interfirm rivalry studies have typically focused on predicting the intensity of competition between firms, limited effort has been made to distinguish between rivals (Chen, 1996). In fact, existing research tends to treat competitors as undifferentiated entities (Chen, 1996). There is a problem with treating all rivals the same. Unless a firm can distinguish which of its rivals are greater threats to its competitive position, how can it appropriately channel its resources and efforts to defend itself against those rivals? How should a firm determine which of its rivals are more likely to imitate its actions? How should a firm decide which of its rivals to imitate? Current research does not answer these questions adequately (Chen, 1996). The aim of this study is to distinguish between rivals and make sense of patterns of rivalry in a specific industry. To fully understand rivalry, competition should be analyzed from the viewpoint of a given firm, using a pair-wise analysis of every firm it competes against (Chen and MacMillan, 1992; Smith, Grimm, Gannon & Chen, 1991; Chen, 1996). The relationship between a pair of firms is determined by the extent to which the two firms share the same sets of markets, and thus have what is known as market similarity (Kamani & Wemerfelt, 1985; Smith & Wilson, 1995). Market similarity is the extent to which firms operate in the same locations. For example, if two hotel chains have hotels in many of the same cities, they can be said to have market similarity. To distinguish between rivals, market similarity is important because firms are likely to actively compete only if they share many market locations (Chen, 1996). If two firms choose to operate in different market locations, they are not likely to be direct competitors (Chen, 1996). This is because they neither compete for the same resources or customers, nor do they face the same constraints. In essence, choice of market location is a key determinant of one's rivals. Choice of geographic location greatly influences the degree of overlap between firms, and thus the extent of competition between them (Yuchtman & Seashore, 1967; Carroll & Huo, 1986). The aim of the study is to distinguish between rivals. A good way to separate competitors into greater versus lesser competitive threats is to use a pair-wise approach by first establishing the extent of market similarity between firms. In this dissertation, establishing market similarity between pairs of firms will be the primary way to distinguish between rivals in a specific industry—the intemational hotel industry. There are several reasons why the international hotel industry is appropriate for this study. Choice of market location (the basis of market similarity) is of key significance to competitive posture in this industry for two reasons (Bull, 1994). The first reason is that location is the only attribute of the lodging "product" that is completely fixed. Hotel buildings and grounds cannot be physically moved, even if a particular location is found to be unsuitable. The second reason is that location is quite possibly the most important variable in determining the feasibility of a new hotel (Bull, 1994; Hart & Troy, 1986). A good location increases the value of a hotel and allows managers to charge a relatively constant premium rate. Therefore, location is a major facet of a hotel's competitive strategy. Choice of location can be critical to achieving and maintaining a competitive advantage in this industry. Location decisions are also important because they can be considered strategic actions. Strategic actions require large resource commitments, are fairiy difficult to reverse once the action has begun, and tend to be more risky than tactical moves (Chen & MacMillan, 1992; Miller & Chen, 1994; Smith, Grimm, Gannon & Chen, 1991; Smith, Grimm & Gannon, 1992). Market entries tend to be considered very important strategic actions (Caves & Porter, 1977; Miller & Chen, 1994; Scherer & Ross, 1990; Tirole, 1988) because it takes large resource commitments to open a new hotel, and once constmction has begun on a new hotel, the action is not simple to reverse. It will also be shown that the intemational hotel industry has some distinct characteristics such as high fixed costs, high operating leverage, capacity constraints, cyclicality and segmentation, which further warrant the exaniination of the basis of market similarity ~ choice of location. It is necessary to use an industry with clearly defined, regional markets for a project involving market similarity (Evans & Kessides, 1994). The intemational hotel industry is one such industry. It has been stated that competition should be analyzed from the viewpoint of a given firm, using a pair-wise analysis of every firm it competes against (Chen and MacMillan, 1992; Smith et al., 1992; Chen, 1996). Studies using a similar perspective with clearly defined regional markets, have been conducted in the airline industry (Chen and MacMillan, 1992; Smith et al., 1992; Chen, 1996). However, no known studies using a pair-wise approach have been conducted in the intemational hotel industry, which also has cleariy defined regional markets. At the present time, in fact, only two known studies exist of the intemational hotel industry (Dunning & McQueen, 1981; Contractor & Kundu, 1995). It is, therefore, appropriate to select an unused pairwise approach to examine a relatively understudied industry for this study. In the following sections, the research question and significance of the study are presented. The Research Question The aim of the study is to address a yet unresolved issue in interfirm rivalry — distinguishing between rivals. Specifically, the purpose is to distinguish between rivals in the intemational hotel industry in order to help chains channel their resources and efforts against their greatest competitive rivals. The results of this study may improve the ability of firms in this and other similar industries to target key competitors, and appropriately defend and compete against those competitors. To further distinguish between rivals, the basis of market similarity is examined over time. The objective is to examine whether one can distinguish between current and future rivals using current conditions. In other words, if two chains have similar characteristics currently, does this similarity help to explain the market similarity and thus extent of rivalry of the two chains both now and in the future? The results may indicate how firms can keep current track of both existing and potential rivals in order to channel resources to maintain and improve their competitive position. Significance of the Study Interfirm rivalry studies typically focus on predicting the intensity of competition between firms. However, limited effort has been made to distinguish between rivals (Chen, 1996). In fact, the notion of considering rivalry from the view point of a given firm has been ignored (Bamett, 1993). This study attempts to address this gap in the literature, by using a given firm as the focal point to distinguish between rivals in the international hotel industry. Since choice of geographic location greatly influences the degree of overlap between firms, and thus the extent of competition between those firms (Yuchtman & Seashore, 1967; Carroll & Huo, 1986), market similarity will be used to distinguish between rivals of a focal firm. Market similarity is the extent to which firms operate in the same locations. The international hotel industry is of great significance in the world economy. The industry is part of the service sector which in 1995, accounted for over 58% of worldwide gross national product. The service sector comprises 72% of the U.S. GDP, and over 60% of the economies of Japan, U.K., Canada, France and Italy ~ the five largest economies (Contractor and Kundu, 1995). The intemational hotel industry is also part of the tourism industry which is second to none in global influence (Teare & Olsen, 1992). At the present time, however, despite its importance, only two known studies exist in the intemational hotel industry (Dunning & McQueen, 1981; Contractor & Kundu, 1995) and neither of these two studies have the aim of distinguishing between rivals. The current study provides further examination of this important industry with a yet unexamined research question. In the next chapter, relevant literature is reviewed. Chapter EI contains a review of the data and methodology. Results are provided in Chapter FV, and finally, conclusions and implications are discussed in Chapter V. CHAPTER n LITERATURE REVIEW Chapter two provides a review of relevant literature and industry characteristics. Industry characteristics will be reviewed first. Industry Characteristics The hotel industry has some distinct characteristics which make the issue of choice of location particulariy interesting. Each of these characteristics is described below. High Fixed Costs The hotel industry is distinct because of the high level of fixed cost tied up in real estate. A hotel's physical property and building(s) cost millions of dollars to design, equip, maintain and operate (Tas, LaBrecque & Clayton, 1996). To further illustrate this point, normal property renovations typically mn from 3 to 5 percent of revenues, and capital expenditures on major renovations typically mn from $10,000 to $50,000 per room (Stipanuk & Lambert, 1994). High fixed costs are particularly relevant in a study of location decision. Given that there are tremendous fixed costs to be incurred every time a new hotel is built by a chain, the decision to open a new hotel is no simple matter. In fact, the decision to enter a market can be considered a strategic action (Caves & Porter, 1977; Miller & Chen, 1994; Scherer & Ross, 1990; Tirole, 1988). Strategic actions require large resource commitments, are fairly difficult to reverse once the action has begun, and tend to be more risky than tactical moves such as price cuts (Chen & MacMillan, 1992; Miller & Chen, 1994; Smith et al., 1991, 1992). Once a decision has been made to build a hotel in a particular location, that decision cannot easily be reversed because of the significant amount of resources involved, and also because a hotel is a single-use property with constraints unlike any other type of real estate (Butler & Rushmore, 1994). For these reasons, the issue of location choice is cmcial for hotel chains. Sensitivity to Capacity Constraints The hotel industry is capacity sensitive. Any given location can only sustain a finite number of hotel rooms. The Market Quality Ratings scheme developed by the Landauer Associates is one way to determine the carrying capacity of a given location. The scheme determines how many more rooms a market can absorb in the next five years to be viable, given supply and demand trends, constmction in progress, and constmction costs. The disadvantage of this scheme is that it assumes all rooms are the same price, whereas, in actuality there could be more than one kind of room (Rowe & Wagner, 1995). As such, the Ratings scheme may not be particularly useful. Also, such ratings are very difficult to obtain when one is evaluating foreign cities. Foreign buyers, because of the fact that they are not as familiar with a given foreign location, may incorrectly evaluate the local environment (Corgel & deRoos, 1994). Before selecting an intemational location, chains must try to predict the carrying capacity of the location accurately, but carrying capacity is hard to determine, and being a foreigner makes it more so. The issue of capacity is closely tied to critical mass and impact. Critical mass means that a hotel typically has to have more than one or two token hotels in an area to gain name recognition in that area (Koss, 1993). Many times there is sufficient demand for more than one hotel from a chain to locate within the same city. Impact is when new hotels entering one hotel's market not only share the same market, but also the same flag and reservation system as the existing hotel (Jesitus, 1992). In the hotel industry, it is therefore possible to compete with other hotels holding the same brand name. This strategy of placing hotels of the same chain in close proximity to one another is also known as twinning (WSJ, 07/08/96). Critical mass, and impact or twinning, complicate the choice of locations. While the chain wants to have a critical mass in a given location, too many hotels in one location will increase the impact issue. Cycles of Overbuilding The hotel industry always has been and probably always will be cyclical (Butler & Rushmore, 1994). The hotel industry is particulariy vulnerable to the lodging needs of travelers and various economic factors (Butler & Rushmore, 1994). The vulnerability of the hotel industry to the welfare of the economy can be seen by examining cycles of overbuilding in the past. In the early 1970s, there was a building boom in the U.S. due to easily available financing and the overly-aggressive pursuit of chain expansion (Butler & Rushmore, 1994). In the late 1970s, inflation caused interest rates and constmction costs to sky rocket; travel decreased substantially due to the energy crisis; and the corresponding recession caused fewer people to travel overall (Butler & Rushmore, 1994). As a consequence, in the 1980s, there was an oversupply of hotel rooms (Rainsford, 1994). Conditions got better in the mid 1980s, but in the eariy 1990s, the U.S. experienced another economic downtum, and consequently, once again there was an oversupply of rooms in the U.S. (Rainsford, 1994). In fact, between 1986 and 1991, the U.S. hotel industry alone lost approximately $14 billion (Lodging Industry Overview, 1995) for reasons such as overbuilding, excessive debt, declining real estate values, an economic recession and the Gulf War (Umbreit, 1996). In such a cyclical industry where business is influenced by forces outside the control of a firm (Butler & Rushmore, 1994), it is cmcial that a chain pick hotel sites carefully. Intemational expansion allows chains to reduce risks associated with cyclicality, since different economic systems may be in different cycles at any given period. High Operating Leverage In the 1970s, financing was readily available for hotel chains at relatively low interest rates. In the early 1980s, financing was once again readily available, but at higher interest rates (Butler & Rushmore, 1994). Over half the hotels in the U.S. were built or refinanced with very high debt burdens (Butler & Rushmore, 1994). The loans which were extended to hotel chains were based on cash-flow projections which caused chains 10 to be highly leveraged (Withiam, 1995). In the 1970s and 1980s, lenders could not intervene in a hotel's operations even if the hotel was in financial trouble (Withiam, 1995). The less-stringent loan requirements (which caused a constmction boom) and the laissez-faire attitude of the lenders in the 1970s and 1980s were partially to blame for the serious downtum in the industry. The lenders of today, however, are much more cautious (Withiam, 1995). In fact, lenders of today are so cautious, many are not willing to lend unless a hotel is affiliated with a chain, and unless a new hotel shows clear market strength (Withiam, 1995). However, the industry still has high operating leverage. Given the fact that physical properties and buildings cost millions of dollars to design, equip and maintain (Tas, LaBrecque & Clayton, 1996), few chains can afford to start an intemational venture without extemal funding. In today's environment, given the cautious nature of lenders, chains have to be very careful about a potential intemational venture to ensure they have made a good investment. Choice of new hotel location is of vital importance because the chain typically has to answer to lenders about that particular investment. Segmentation The hotel industry is highly segmented. In the intemational hotel industry, product segmentation has occurred predominantly according to price and level of facilities (Go & Pine, 1995). It was the oversupply of rooms in many markets which led to the need for more aggressive marketing (Roginsky, 1995; Rainsford, 1994). One of the ways to better serve the needs of specific customers, was to use product segmentation. 11 For the most part, hotels of a certain price and facility level compete with other hotels of similar price and facility level. However, when there is an oversupply of rooms, many hotels lower room rates and consequently discover new competitors they have not had to contend with in the past (Roginsky, 1995). Listed price level of a facility does not necessarily define competitors because the listed price is highly variable. Given the many promotions and alliances a given hotel may be touting, a customer may end up paying a lower rate at a luxury hotel than the regular price at a lower-end hotel. One such instance is found where the elite hotels have decided to target business travelers, by lowering rates for business executives (Wall Street Joumal [WSJ], 2/21/97). Bjom Hanson, chairman of Cooper & Lybrand's hospitality group has been quoted as saying "it's the industry trend" (WSJ, 2/21/97). The high variability in listed room rates is causing chains who do not normally compete, to now compete for the same customer. Therefore, virtually every product segment can interact and compete with other segments (Go & Pine, 1995). How is segmentation relevant to the location decision? Chains used traditional segmentation to better target specific customers. Now, however, to better utilize hotels with low occupancy rates, many chains lower listed rates, and consequently increase the number of chains they compete against. The location decision for a chain is becoming more and more complicated. Not only must the chain evaluate the foreign environment and potential growth, but also the chain must evaluate potential competitors within the same segment at the location, as well as potential competitors in different segments at that location. 12 The objective of this study is to distinguish between rivals. It is necessary to take hotel segments into account to distinguish between the threat of potential rivals. Even though a segment can interact and compete with other segments (Go & Pine, 1995), it is highly unlikely that segments on opposite ends of the spectmm would be strong competitors since their customers are unlikely to be the same. For example, if a luxury hotel chain and an economy hotel chain have hotels located within many of the same cities, despite market similarity, they are unlikely to consider each other a major threat due to different target markets. There is a lot of controversy regarding the classification and grading of hotels (Callan, 1989). Classification of hotels is done by grouping service accommodations according to physical facilities (Callan, 1994). Hotels provide such a broad spectmm of services that they can be classified into five, six, or even seven categories. Grading refers to quality in this industry. Grading is a subjective assessment of the quality and service of hotels (Callan, 1994). The hotel industry is noted for its division and lack of consensus regarding classification and grading (Callan, 1994). In fact, surveys conducted in the industry have revealed that not only is there a lack of consensus, but managers often confuse the distinction between classification and grading (Callan, 1989). To illustrate the scope of the problem, one need only look at a few of the classification systems in existence. The World Tourism Organization has five classes of hotels. However, even among its own members there are no accepted standards or classifications. Several countries belonging to the World Tourism Organization set their own standards and use different methods of classification (Lundberg, 1985). The classification system used by 13 the Official Hotel Guide has ten classes, none of which have clear definitions (Conner, 1994). Each category has vague delineations that make the classification process difficult. Hotels are classified in a variety of ways, none of which are considered an industry standard worldwide (Macintosh & Goeldner, 1986). There are many different ways to classify hotels according to Go and Pine (1995) such as type of hotel, location, size, standard and level of service, ownership and chain affiliation. Thus, although there is no question that there are different types of hotels within the hotel industry (Dunning & McQueen, 1982), there is no agreed upon method of classifying hotels. In the intemational hotel industry, product segmentation has occurred predominantly according to price and level of facilities (Go & Pine, 1995). It is acknowledged that it would be almost impossible to obtain a classification scheme that could be considered reliable across the many chains based in different countries, however, this potential limitation is considered less detrimental than failing to distinguish between different segments in the study. The failure to distinguish between product segments would make an implicit assumption that all international hotels could be potential competitors. This assumption would be partially incorrect, because for the most part, hotels of a certain price and facility level compete with other hotels of similar price and facility level. Where possible, therefore, type of facility is included in the current research project. In summary, choice of location in the intemational hotel industry is a complicated decision. A chain must consider issues of critical mass and impact, carrying capacity of the location, lender stipulations, economic cycles, and potential competitors in that 14 location, keeping in mind that due to exceedingly high fixed costs, the intemational market entry decision cannot easily be reversed. The following sections provide a review of relevant literature. Theories are reviewed which help to explain the basis of market similarity. The theories relate to interfirm rivalry, multimarket competition and institutional theory. Interfirm Rivalry Rivalry occurs when firms strive for potentially incompatible competitive positions (Caves, 1984; Scherer & Ross, 1990). Interfirm rivalry studies have typically focused on predicting competition between firms (Chen, 1996). One of the five forces driving competition is intensity of rivalry (Porter, 1980). Interfirm research typically focuses on the interplay between firms as they vie for a better competitive position. The basic premise of this stream of research lies in the fact that firms are not independent, are affected by the actions of other firms, and are, therefore, compelled to respond to such actions (Smith et al., 1992; D'Aveni, 1994). The degree to which firms are aware of their interdependence with other firms, and can use it to their advantage as they formulate actions and anticipate reactions has important implications for improving their competitive position (Amit, Domowitz & Fershtman, 1988). It is necessary to distinguish between an action and a reaction before proceeding further. An action is a specific competitive move initiated by a firm to defend or improve its competitive position (Smith et al., 1992). There are two types of competitive actions, tactical and strategic. Tactical actions require relatively few resources and are considered 15 low in risk (Smith et al., 1992). Strategic actions, on the other hand, require much larger resource commitments, are more difficult to reverse once the action has begun, and are also relatively more risky than tactical actions (Chen & McMillan, 1992; Miller & Chen, 1994; Smith et al., 1991; Smith et al., 1992). The actions of firms compel a response from other firms (Smith et al., 1992; D'Aveni, 1994). The response of a competing firm designed to defend or improve its competitive position relative to the acting firm is known as a reaction or counteraction (Smith et al., 1992). There are other issues to be considered as firms jockey for incompatible competitive positions. Knowing the response pattem of competitors is of importance if a firm is to correctly anticipate reactions as it designs its own actions (Porter, 1980). Failure to see a potential competitor because of competitive 'blind spots' can detrimentally affect one's competitive position (Zajac & Bazerman, 1991). In the case of the intemational hotel industry, one potential 'blind spot' could arise due to segmentation. For the most part, hotels of a certain price and facility level compete with other hotels of similar price and facility level. However, when there is an oversupply of rooms, hotels may lower room rates and consequently discover new competitors they have not had to contend with in the past (Roginsky, 1995). Defining competitors by price level alone could be dangerous in this industry. Chains should monitor not only chains of the same price level and with market similarity, but also other chains in different segments with market similarity. Despite the consideration of many topics relevant to interfirm rivalry, there is a gap in the literature in terms of predicting rivalry (Chen, 1996). Existing studies tend to 16 treat competitors as undifferentiated entities (Chen, 1996). Limited effort has been made to distinguish between rivals (Chen, 1996). In fact, the notion of considering rivalry from the viewpoint of a given firm has been ignored (Bamett, 1993). If a firm is to correctly anticipate the actions and reactions of its rivals as it formulates its own strategies, it is necessary for the firm to be able to determine which of its rivals are more of a competitive threat. The firm should also be able to determine which rival is more likely to retaliate to a given competitive move, so that it can properly defend itself against possible retaliation. Unless a firm can determine which of its rivals are more of a threat to its competitive position, how can it appropriately channel its resources and efforts? Current research in interfirm rivalry does not answer these questions adequately (Chen, 1996). The aim of this study is to distinguish between rivals in the international hotel industry. To distinguish between rivals, market similarity is important because firms are likely to actively compete only if they share many market locations (Chen, 1996). If two firms choose to operate in different market locations, they are not likely to be direct competitors (Chen, 1996). This is because they neither compete for the same resources or customers, nor do they face the same constraints. In essence, choice of market location is a key determinant of one's rivals. The following section outlines more literature relevant to the study. Multiple point competition is reviewed first, followed by institutional theory. Both these theories provide different explanations for the existence of market similarity. In other words, both theories explain why a chain would choose to build hotels in the same or similar cities as other chains. 17 Multiple Point Competition The nature of the competitive relationship between a pair of firms can be assessed by examining the extent to which the two firms share the same sets of markets and thus have market similarity (Kamani & Wemerfelt, 1985; Smith & Wilson, 1995). Market similarity is where firms operate in many of the same locations. The situation of firms simultaneously competing in several different markets is also known as multiple point competition (Kamani & Wemerfelt, 1985). The extent to which firms have multiple market contact with other firms can influence the intensity of rivalry among those firms (Kamani & Wemerfelt, 1985; Smith & Wilson, 1995). This notion was first expoused by Edwards (1955) and is also known as mutual forbearance or linked oligopoly. The potential for mutual forbearance exists in any industry with a number of distinct geographic markets (Bernheim & Winston, 1990). Edwards (1955) suggested that firms which share many markets simultaneously become aware that their competitive actions in one market could result in competitors retaliating in other markets. The outcome of sharing multiple markets, therefore, could be a reduction in rivalry (Simmel, 1950; Edwards, 1955). Such firms may be more inclined to cooperate with each other and not engage in intense rivalry for fear of retaliation (Simmel, 1950; Edwards, 1955). Any firm which maintains a foothold in another firm's market(s) has a "stick with which to discipline the other firm" (Kamani & Wemerfelt, 1985, p. 90). In other words, if a hotel chain does not retaliate by entering the same markets as other chains, it may have no means by which to influence the other chains' behavior. In fact, even if two markets are seemingly unrelated, a firm's actions in one 18 market can affect a competitor's strategies in another market (Bulow, Geanakoplos & Klemperer, 1985). Market similarity may occur, therefore, as a means for a chain to influence the behavior of other chains. There have been numerous studies investigating the effects of multimarket contact. Some of these studies are reviewed next. The first comprehensive study of multiple market contact was conducted in the banking industry by Heggestad and Rhoades (1978). The results of their study provide evidence that in the banking sector, interfirm rivalry is adversely affected (lowered) by the degree of contact in multiple markets. There appeared to be less intense rivalry among banks which shared multiple markets. Another study of multiple market contact in the banking industry found similar results ~ interbank rivalry was adversely affected by the extent to which banks shared the same markets (Martinez, 1990). Contact in more than one market increased the amount of communication between banks, and thus decreased the chances of intense rivalry and increased the chances of cooperation between such firms (Martinez, 1990). Evans and Kessides (1994) conducted a study of multiple market contact in the airline industry. The airline industry was selected because it has geographically distinct markets which can be accurately defined, and different airlines have airport dominance in different markets (Evans & Kessides, 1994). The results of the study indicate the higher the level of multiple market contact between rivals, the more likely the airlines are to set higher fares (cooperate) on routes shared with those rivals. An examination of the mobile telephone industry was conducted recently (Parker & Roller, 1997). The authors established that duopolies were created because pairs of 19 firms were issued a license to compete in strictly defined product and geographic markets in the mobile telephone industry. The results of the study show that multimarket contact and cross-ownership yields noncompetitive prices. In a study of the health care industry, researchers have found that multimarket contact can influence market exit behavior (Boeker, Goodstein, Stephan & Murmann, 1997). The researchers examined hospitals and found that multimarket contact had a negative influence on market exit. The more there was multimarket contact between hospitals, the less likely the hospitals were to exit a given market, even if the hospital in that market was not very successful. Authors who conducted an examination of 25 regional markets of the U.S. cement industry were able to make statements about the relationships between pricing and multimarket contact (Jans & Rosenbaum, 1997). The researchers used a 16 year time span for their project. The findings suggest that the extent of multimarket contact among firms in the cement industry has a direct effect on the extent of divergence of price from marginal cost in any one of those given markets. Singal (1996) looked at the relationship between airline mergers and multimarket contact. In the research project, airline mergers between 1985 and 1988 were examined. The conclusion of the study is that degree of multimarket contact can significantly affect airfares. An increase in multimarket contact alone was found to be sufficient cause to raise airfares (Singal, 1996). Another research project in the airline industry was conducted using over three thousand pairs of city markets (Gimeno & Woo, 1996). These researchers concluded that 20 strategic similarity, a similarity in competitive orientation, moderately increased intensity of rivalry, while multimarket contact strongly decreased intensity of rivalry. In a study of mutual forbearance and conglomerates, some interesting conclusions were reached (Phillips & Mason, 1992). The basic premise of multiple point theory is that sharing multiple markets could result in a reduction in rivalry due to cooperation (Simmel, 1950; Edwards, 1955). In their examination of conglomerates, however, Phillips and Mason (1992) found that conglomerates do not act cooperatively even with multimarket contact. The authors did find, however, that conglomerates encouraged more cooperation in one market but not in others when there was multimarket contact. Alexander (1985) examined 69 market areas using bank holding companies for the 1975 time period. The results of this study are that multimarket contact has a positive impact on service charges. However, no evidence was found that interest rates for the short term business loan market were affected by multimarket contact. A test using the U.S. Federal Trade Commission line of business data for the 1976 time period was conducted by examining the competition for sales in markets where multimarket contact was found to exist (Feinberg, 1985). The results of the test indicate collusion among firms can occur when there is mutual forbearance among rivals. Similar results were found by Bemheim and Winston (1990). These authors found that firms with multimarket contact were better able to engage in collusive behavior. Multimarket contact may even influence firms in seemingly irrational ways. A firm operating in multiple markets with its rivals may combine signaling efforts across all the markets in order to convey tme cost information (Srinivasan, 1991). One outcome of 21 the signaling effort across all the markets is the possibility of the firm opening up an unprofitable market to minimize overall signaling costs (Srinivasan, 1991). Competing in multiple shared markets gives a firm more competitive options (Smith & Wilson, 1995). When a competitor engages in a competitive action, rivals can respond in one or more of four ways: do nothing, defend, counterattack or declare a total war (Karnani & Wemerfelt, 1985). The decision to do nothing will result in the two firms implicitly agreeing to share the market demand. The defend response will lead to a situation where the firms compete intensively only in some of the markets where they both compete. The counterattack response leads to a situation where each firm holds a small share in the other firm's market. And a total war will result in one firm succeeding, or both firms being destroyed (Karnani & Wemerfelt, 1985). Given the potential outcomes, Kamani and Wemerfelt (1985) predicted that the response of counterattacking and defending would be the most prevalent options, in order of prevalence. Smith and Wilson (1995), however, found the most prevalent response was to do nothing, with the counterattack option being the least prevalent of all four options. Empirical studies of multiple market contact appear to vary in the extent to which they validate the concept of multiple market contact (Baum & Korn, 1996). The above review of multimarket research confirms this position. Some studies have found that multiple market contact decreases rivalry as predicted; some have found no effects; and some have found that multiple market contact did not decrease rivalry (Baum & Kom, 1996). Some studies have found that multiple market contact actually increases intensity of rivalry (Alexander, 1985; Mester, 1987), while other studies have found no effects of 22 multiple market contact (Rhoades & Heggestad, 1985). One limitation of current multimarket contact research may account for some of the ambiguity of results according to Baum and Kom (1996). Most of the studies on multimarket contact use market-wide indices to represent the contact. Such measures ignore the fact that rivalry occurs between pairs of firms and, therefore, depends on the nature of the relationship between firms (Baum & Kom, 1996; Chen, 1996). One objective of this study is to distinguish between rivals using pair-wise analysis. In this manner, the study addresses a limitation of current research. The next section reviews additional relevant literature which helps to explain why one chain might have a similar market profile to another chain. Institutional Theory Why might an intemational hotel chain want to choose locations close to those of other chains? One reason to locate close to other chains is that it allows the chain to keep track of competitor moves. Another reason is that the presence of the other chains reinforces the area's attractiveness and downplays its risks or weaknesses (Markusen, 1990). There are other ways to explain the similarity of hotel location among intemational hotel chains. Institutional theory explains the emergence of similar forms and competencies among firms (Selznick, 1957, 1996). These forms and competencies develop as a response to both intemal and extemal environments (Selznick, 1957, 1996). Isomorphsim is the situation when firms in the same population have similar characteristics 23 (Oliver, 1988). Certain authors suggest isomorphsim arises as a result of competition, because firms face the same environmental constraints which cause them to look similar (Hannan & Freeman, 1977). Other authors suggest it is the environment which exerts certain kinds of influence on a firm causing interacting firms in a similar environment to look similar (DiMaggio & Powell, 1983). The environmental forces can have mimetic, coercive and normative influences (DiMaggio & Powell, 1983). Mimetic isomorphism is caused by firms imitating other firms due to uncertainty. A firm reduces uncertainty by imitating the behavior of firms perceived to be successful (DiMaggio & Powell, 1983). Coercive isomorphism arises due to pressure from regulatory agencies. The agencies impose certain mles that all firms in that industry have to abide by. Normative isomorphism arises due to pressures exerted primarily by professionalization (DiMaggio & Powell, 1983) or professional inter-relationships (Scott, 1992). In the international hotel industry, rather than chains being subject to the regulations of a single regulatory agency, multiple agencies can and do influence the industry. This results in a lack of industry-wide standards which would have had coercive pressures on chains in the industry. For example, hotels are classified in a variety of ways none of which is considered an industry standard worldwide (Macintosh & Goeldner, 1986). The industry also does not have professionalization, and therefore normative pressures do not exist. Mimetic pressures, however, are quite strong. Service firms (including hotels) seem to rely heavily on imitation (Martin & Home, 1993). The hotel industry does not contain specific knowledge which can be protected by a patent (Dunning & McQueen, 1982) 24 making imitation even more prevalent. The following section provides a review of mimetic isomorphism. Mimetic Isomorphism Mimetic isomorphism is the achievement of conformity through imitation (DiMaggio & Powell, 1983). Mimetic isomorphism can be thought of as a process that enables features to be replicated from one firm to another (March, 1981; Tolbert & Zucker, 1983; Fligstein, 1985). Mimetic isomorphism describes how firms change over time and become more similar to other firms in their environment (DiMaggio & Powell, 1983). Mimetic isomorphism can be caused by uncertainty (DiMaggio & Powell, 1983) or obligatory action (March, 1981). When firms are faced with uncertainty, imitating other firms can economize on search costs (Cyert & March, 1963). 'Obligatory action' happens when enough firms do things in a particular fashion, it becomes the norm and from that point on, things are done that way without conscious thought (March, 1981). In fact, once an action has become the norm, organizations may conform to the action disregarding the impact of that conformance on organizational performance (Meyer & Rowan, 1977). The adoption of proper norms may be necessary for the organization to acquire necessary resources to survive, although the conformity to the accepted norms may have more symbolic rather than task-related requirements (Tolbert & Zucker, 1983). Mimetic change has been observed in many different industries (Haveman, 1993). For example, mimetic isomorphism was observed in the spread of the multidivisional form (Fligstein, 1985); in the changes in form by health maintenance organizations 25 (Wholey & Bums, 1993); and the adoption of matrix management programs by hospitals (Bums & Wholey, 1993). One research project explores the adoption of civil service procedures by municipal govemments from 1880 to 1935 (Tolbert & Zucker, 1983). Data on the adoption of civil service procedures were collected for 167 cities for the time period 1880 to 1935. The findings suggest that intemal organizational factors predict the extent to which civil service procedures are adopted eariy in the process, however, once the process is in progress, the intemal organizational factors do not predict the extent to which civil service procedures are adopted (Tolbert & Zucker, 1983). Another study examines the transformation of employment practices in U.S. firms from the Depression to after World War E (Baron, Dobbin, & Jennings, 1986). Data collected by the National Industrial Conference Board for 1927, 1935, 1939 and 1946 were used for the project. The Board collected information by surveying the entire population of firms listed on the New York Stock Exchange, Dun and Bradstreet publications and other firm listings. The surveys include anywhere between 2,452 firms and 3,498 firms for the years used in the project. The employment practices examined relate to specialization of roles, centralized hiring, promotion and firing, and salary classification. The findings support those found by Tolbert and Zucker (1983) ~ namely that efficiency objectives became less of a criteria in deciding which employment practices to use as certain employment practices became standard operating procedure (Baron, Dobbin & Jennings, 1986). The authors found that only when employment 26 practices were first beginning to be diffused throughout firms were intemal organizational factors influential in determining which employment practices to adopt. Bums and Wholey (1993) examined the adoption and abandonment of matrix stmctures over a 17 year period in the hospital industry. The industry was picked due to a prevalence of mimetic behavior. Mimetic behavior has been seen in the spread of innovations across hospitals (Luft, Robinson, Gamick, Maerki & McPhee, 1986; Russell, 1979; Stevens, 1989). The authors examined the spread of matrix stmctures throughout hospitals between the years of 1961 and 1978, at four intervals in time. A total of 1,375 hospitals were used in the project. The findings suggest the prestige of a hospital influences both its own and its immediate neighbor's decisions to adopt a particular practice. Also, organizational networks influence the diffusion of innovations (Bums & Wholey, 1993). The impact of interorganizational interlocks on the imitation of corporate acquisition activity has been examined (Haunschild, 1993) to further examine the role of networks and its ability to influence the diffusion of innovations. The interaction between the employees of different firms through interlocking arrangements could result in firms imitating their interlocked partners (Davis, 1991; Palmer, Jennings & Zhou, 1993). Haunschild (1993) used all medium- and large-sized firms listed in COMPUSTAT databases for the time period 1981 to 1990. Four industries were used: electrical equipment manufacturing, transportation equipment, wholesale trade and business services. The author found that interaction between the employees of different firms through interlocking arrangements resulted in firms imitating the corporate 27 acquisition activity of their interlocked partners (Haunschild, 1993). The reasons for mimetic behavior and empirical examinations of the behavior have been discussed. It is necessary to also discuss what existing research has revealed about which firms will be imitated. The discussion follows. Some authors suggest that firms imitate other firms in their population (Haveman, 1993). A population can be defined as firms within one industry (Carroll, 1985; Hannan & Freeman, 1977; Delacroix & Swaminathan, 1991; Baum & Mezias, 1992; Haveman, 1993). Other authors imply firms imitate their closest competitors, defined as those classified within the same industry and similar in size (Walsh & Kosnik, 1993). Empirical measures of size which have been used include sales (Walsh & Kosnik, 1993; Ghoshal, 1988), total average assets (Deephouse, 1996), typical assets (Sheppard, 1994) asset base (Haveman, 1993) and total number of employees (Ghoshal, 1988). In the hotel industry, the standard measure of size is number of rooms (Wyckoff & Sasser, 1981; Baum & Mezias, 1992). Ghoshal (1988) examined isomorphism in similar sized firms. Haveman (1993) suggested that firms may imitate similarly sized firms in their population. This is because firms of similar size are similar in stmcture and strategy, depend on the same environmental resources, and have the same constraints (Hannan & Freeman, 1977). Firms may monitor the actions of similarly sized rivals and, therefore, would be more likely to imitate size peers (Scott, 1992). However, there is little theoretical analysis to specify clearly which firms should be imitated (Haveman, 1993). For example, Haveman 28 (1993) found large firms imitate other large firms, however no support was found that small- or medium-sized firms imitated their size peers. In a study of the Manhattan hotel industry, results were found which suggest that the more similar the type of hotel of a new entrant to incumbent chains, the more similar their size; and the more similar the size of a new entrant to incumbent chains, the more dissimilar their type of hotels (Baum & Haveman, 1997). The authors found that in the Manhattan hotel industry, new entrants tend to locate close to other hotels of similar type rather than similar price (Baum & Haveman, 1997). This is because hotels of similar size, price and location tend to compete more intensely (Baum & Mezias, 1992; Baum & Haveman, 1997). For this reason, hotels in the Manhattan area appear to enter markets based on a combination of differentiation and agglomeration processes (Baum & Haveman, 1997). Differentiation is where hotels located close to one another choose to have different types of hotels; agglomeration refers to the economies which arise from being located close to similar type of firms. The theories reviewed thus far give possible explanations of market similarity. If two firms operate within similar market locations, but do not have any other similar characteristics, it is unlikely that they will consider each other a major competitive threat (Chen, 1996). Therefore, market similarity alone cannot be used to achieve the objective of distinguishing between rivals. Rather, it is also necessary to establish whether there is similarity on other relevant dimensions (characteristics). The following section describes the characteristics used in this project to distinguish between rivals in the intemational hotel industry. 29 Characteristic Similarity To distinguish between rivals, it is first necessary to identify whether firms compete in enough of the same market locations to actively consider each other a great threat. In addition to this, it is also necessary to assess the extent to which pairs of firms have similar characteristics. If two firms operate within similar market locations, but do not have any other similar characteristics, it is unlikely that they will consider each other a major competitive threat (Chen, 1996). What are the relevant characteristics for examining extent of market similarity between intemational hotels chains? The nature of the business in the intemational hotel industry is to engage in intemational expansion. Therefore, those factors affecting the process of intemationalization such as size, international experience and degree of intemationalization will be used to examine the extent of market similarity between intemational hotels chains. A continuation of the literature review follows, which describes each of the characteristics. Firm Size Foreign direct investment requires large amounts of capital to obtain information and set up foreign operations (Buckley & Casson, 1976). For this reason, large firms are typically among the first to establish an intemational perspective (Hymer, 1979). In fact, it has been suggested that the larger the firm, the more likely it is to have operations in many different countries (Buckley & Casson, 1976). Large firms seem more capable of 30 absorbing costs and risks and appear to possess more advantages to counter disadvantageous positions (Buckley & Casson, 1976; Kumar, 1984). Size represents not only a major advantage, but also the means by which to go abroad (Terpstra & Yu, 1988). Larger firms are better able to achieve global economies of scale (Morrison, 1990). Larger firms are able to replicate their capabilities in different nations at lower costs due to such economies of scale (Dunning & McQueen, 1981; Yip, 1989). Dunning (1988) found that large hotel chains were better able to achieve superior economies of scale than their smaller counterparts. Size is such an important factor, it has been suggested that gaining size is important to the success of new hotels (Withiam, 1985). The implication is that hotels need to have sufficient resources to initiate actions and match competitors actions if they are to succeed. Size is important in the hotel industry because it results in localized competition (Baum & Mezias, 1992). Similarly sized hotels tend to compete intensely (Baum & Haveman, 1997). In this study, the difference between the size of any two chains will be used to assess extent of market similarity between those two chains. It is predicted, consistent with the literature, that chains of similar size will have similar market profiles because they have the means to imitate one another. If chains with a similar market profile do not have similar size, there would be no evidence that chains imitate similarly sized chains in choosing market locations. Therefore: HI: Difference in size has no effect on market similarity between pairs of chains. 31 International Experience As firms increase their intemational experience, their confidence about intemational markets also increases (Davidson, 1980). Prior investment in one foreign country has a positive effect on investments in other foreign countries (Aharoni, 1966; Johanson & Weidersheim-Paul, 1975; Davidson, 1980). The positive effect of prior investment on future investments is caused by firms integrating knowledge of foreign markets and operations over time. In other words, firms usually leam how to continuously adapt to unfamiliar environments. As they do so, they increase their confidence about operating in even more unfamiliar environments. There is definitely a leaming curve or experience effect in the foreign direct investment process (Terpstra & Yu, 1988). There is empirical support for the positive relationship between intemational experience and extent of foreign direct investment (Ball & Tschoegl, 1982; Tschoegl, 1983). In this study, the difference between the intemational experience of two chains will be used to assess extent of market commonality between those two chains. It is predicted that firms with similar amounts of international experience would have similar knowledge and confidence about international expansion, and thus would have similar market profiles (i.e., they would have hotels in similar sets of cities). If chains with a similar market profile do not have similar intemational experience, there would be no evidence that chains imitate chains with similar experience in choosing market locations. Therefore: 32 H2: Difference in intemational experience has no effect on market similarity between pairs of chains. Degree of Intemationalization Intemationalization is the process of expanding outside of a firm's home base. Degree of intemationalization is important because it is often viewed as a measure of competitive success (Contractor & Kundu, 1995). It measures the relative importance of intemational operations for the entire firm. In this study, the difference between the degree of internationalization of pairs of firms will be used to assess their extent of market similarity. It is predicted that firms with a similar degree of intemationalization would place similar importance on intemational operations, and thus would have similar market profiles (i.e., they would have hotels in similar sets of cities). If chains with a similar market profile do not have a similar degree of internationalization, there would be no evidence that chains imitate chains based on importance of international operations, in choosing market locations. Therefore: H3: Difference in degree of internationalization has no effect on market similarity between pairs of chains. There are certain other firm-specific factors, namely first mover behavior, leader behavior and nationality, which might influence the market profile of a chain. These factors are reviewed in the following section. 33 First Movers Some firms strive to be industry leaders by being the first to respond to market needs. Such firms can be called first movers or prospectors (Miles & Snow, 1978). The advantage of being the leader in an industry is the monopolistic rent that can be eamed due to imitators' lags in reacting to the action of the leading firm (Nelson & Winter, 1982). While there are advantages to being a first mover, there are also risks. A firm that chooses to act first in an industry does so because it perceives an unmet market need. The risk lies in the possibility that the perceived market need does not actually exist, or does not exist in the manner perceived by the firm. A firm has to incur great costs to be a first mover as there is no-one to imitate and, therefore, the firm has to develop its own strategies. If there are chains which are first movers in this study, their market profiles may look quite different from those of other chains because such chains are aggressive risktakers and would likely have distinct market profiles from non-first movers. In order to account for first mover behavior which may influence market profile, the extent of similarity in first mover behavior should be taken into account. Therefore: H4: Difference in first mover behavior has no effect on market similarity between pairs of chains. A somewhat related notion is that of a national leader. The first chain to go abroad from a given nation is likely to have greater resources and be more aggressive than 34 other chains in its home country. It is hypothesized, therefore, that leaders would be likely to have distinct market profiles from non-leaders. Therefore: H5: Difference in leader behavior has no effect on market similarity between pairs of chains. Nationality The intemational management literature supports the notion that firms tend to prefer those intemational markets most similar to their domestic market (Johanson & Vahlne, 1977; Johanson & Weidersheim-Paul, 1975; Davidson, 1982) because of the ease and compatibility of conducting business in those nations (Johanson & Vahlne, 1977). For this reason, the market profiles of chains will likely be affected by the nationality of the chain. There is empirical support for country effects in multinational firms (Rosenzweig & Nohria, 1994). Strong differences were found between multinational firms of different nationalities (Rosenzweig & Nohria, 1994). It is predicted that chains in the same home nation are more likely to interact and communicate with other chains from that region. For this reason, they will be able to imitate the market profile of chains from the same nation. Therefore: H6: Difference in nationality has no effect on market similarity between pairs of chains. The next chapter describes the data, variables and methodology used in the study. 35 CHAPTER m DATA AND METHODOLOGY The source of data for this project is the Directory of Hotel and Motel Management (also known as the Directory of Hotel and Motel Systems). The Directory is published by the American Hotel Association Directory Association under the auspices of the American Hotel and Motel Association. The Directory has been published since 1931. It includes information about worldwide hotel and motel chains (operating two or more hotels, motels and/or resorts), referral groups and management companies. As this is a study of the intemational hotel industry, only those chains with hotels in two or more countries are included in the study. This definition of international hotels has been used in prior empirical studies (Dunning & McQueen, 1981). The time frame of the study is 1984 to 1993. Variables Size (SIZE) The standard measure of organization size in the hotel industry is the number of rooms operated in each year (Wycoff & Sasser, 1981). Intemational Experience (lEXP) Amount of experience a chain has in foreign countries. This variable is measured as the number of foreign countries within which a chain has operations. 36 Degree of Intemationalization (DOD To represent importance of intemational operations, degree of intemationalization is used. This variable is measured as the ratio of foreign rooms to domestic rooms (Contractor & Kundu, 1995). First movers (FSTMOV) A first mover is the first chain in the intemational industry to enter any intemational city (a city outside of its home nation) in a given year. The first time a new intemational city is presented in the Directories, the chain entering that city is recorded. Coding for first mover behavior begins with the second year of the study, 1985. This variable is coded as a dummy variable ~ 1 if the chain is a first mover into at least one new city in a given year, 0 otherwise. Leader (LDR) A leader is the first chain from a given nation to go intemational. That is, the first domestic chain to establish a hotel outside of its home nation. Chains are therefore compared to other chains from their home country. Coding for leader behavior begins with the second year of the study, 1985. This variable is coded as a dummy variable ~ 1 if the chain is a leader in a given year, 0 otherwise. 37 Nationality (NAT) The home country of each chain is recorded to take nationality into account in the market choice decision. The Methodology The aim of the study is to distinguish between rivals. To do this, competition should be analyzed from the viewpoint of a given firm, using a pair-wise analysis of every firm it competes against. Network analysis allows one to conduct such a pair-wise analysis. Network analysis examines the relationship among social entities (Wasserman & Faust, 1994). Specifically, in a network, the major focus is the set of relations to and from each actor in a system (Burt, 1976). In this case, the actors are intemational hotel chains and the relations are the extent to which the chains have hotels in the same cities as every other chain. The unit of analysis for network analysis rather than being the individual (chain, in this case), is the collection of entities and the relationships among them (Wasserman & Faust, 1994). When there are more than two actors in a network, the nature and intensity of relationships between any two actors depends on the nature of their relationships with all other actors in the network (Burt, 1976). Any two actors can be said to be stmcturally equivalent when their relations with all other actors in the network are identical (Burt, 1976). However, Burt (1976) points out that many times there is little utility in such a strong measure of stmctural equivalence, since even a slight difference between any two actors would deem them not stmcturally equivalent. Using a more relaxed definition, stmcturally equivalent actors can be said to exhibit similarity in 38 their interactions with other actors in the network (Wasserman & Faust, 1994). In this case, two chains would be said to be stmcturally equivalent if their pattems of market location (i.e. choice of international cities) looked similar. To further distinguish between rivals, the role of current characteristic similarity between pairs of chains, on current and future rivalry between those pairs of chains is also examined in the study. To carry out such an examination, a combination of regression and lagged regression analysis was used in the study. To test the six hypotheses, the combined results of the network analysis and regression analysis were used in t-tests. The data were entered by year into an affiliation matrix. An affiliation matrix represents the relationship of a set of actors with a set of events (Wasserman & Faust, 1994). The actors are chains and the event is presence in an intemational city. Each chain is coded with a ' 1' if it has a hotel in a specific intemational city, and a '0' if it does not, in a given year. This affiliation matrix therefore consists of columns of chains and rows of cities. To give a simple example of what the affiliation matrix looks like, if Marriott has hotels in London and Jakarta, and Sheraton has hotels in London and Paris the affiliation matrix would be: City Marriott Sheraton Jakarta 1 0 London 1 1 Paris 0 1 The data (in the form of an affiliation matrix) were transformed into an 39 adjacency matrix using a program written by a leading network specialist at Camegie Mellon University, Dr. David Krackhardt. An adjacency matrix is a symmetric chain by chain matrix, reflecting the extent to which each chain is in the same cities as every other chain. The adjacency matrix of the previous example would be: Marriott Sheraton Marriott 2 1 Sheraton 1 2 The diagonal of the adjacency matrix shows the number of intemational cities within which a given chain has hotels. In this example, Marriott and Sheraton have hotels in two cities. Marriott and Sheraton have hotels in one shared city (London) which is indicated by the off-diagonal entry of 1 above. If Marriott and Sheraton both had hotels in eight of the same cities, the value in the off-diagonal would be eight. Note that the adjacency matrix is symmetric. This is because whether we look from Marriott's viewpoint or Sheraton's viewpoint, the number of cities within which they both have hotels is still the same. In the study, the number of columns (and rows) in the adjacency matrix corresponds to the number of chains in the study in any given year. This number varies. For example, in 1984, there were 71 chains; in 1985 there were 65 chains; in 1986 there were 74 chains and so on up to 1993 where there were 104 chains. The adjacency matrix for each year was used as the input data to compute stmctural equivalence, using UCINETIV (Borgatti, Everett & Freeman, 1992), a network analysis software package. Using this particular network software package, one has the 40 option of using different measures of profile similarity (measures of Euclidean distance between the vectors or measures of Pearson correlation coefficients for every pair of chains). If a researcher wants to measure similarity in overall pattem among actors, rather than measure identity of ties between actors, it is recommended that the correlation method be used (Wasserman & Faust, 1994). For this study, the adjacency matrix was used as an input for the correlational measure of stmctural equivalence. The output was a stmctural equivalence matrix for each year. The coefficients of the matrices are measures of market similarity between pairs of chains. Since the correlational measure was used, the stmctural equivalence matrix is essentially a correlation matrix. Therefore, for each year of the study, each chain has a row of coefficients which reflect the extent to which it has a similar market profile with every other chain. Coefficients can have values ranging from -1 to 1. The stmctural equivalence matrices were analyzed using hierarchical cluster analysis and regression analysis. Cluster Analysis The aim of the study is to distinguish between rivals. Rivals are determined not only by market similarity, but also by similarity on other dimensions. Market similarity is important because firms are likely to actively compete only if they share many market locations (Chen, 1996). In addition to this, it is also necessary to assess the extent to which pairs of firms have similar characteristics. If two firms operate within similar market locations, but do not have any other similar characteristics, it is unlikely that they will consider each other a major competitive threat (Chen, 1996). 41 Cluster analysis was used to identify those chains with similar market profiles (in similar sets of cities). An assessment of the similarity of other characteristics (size, intemational experience, degree of intemationalization, leader, first mover and nationality) between pairs of chains was then conducted to distinguish between rivals. Hierarchical cluster analysis groups firms into subsets such that firms within a subset are relatively similar to each other (Wasserman & Faust, 1994). The aim of such cluster analysis is to find firms which are approximately stmcturally equivalent. Clustering is ideal for partitioning actors into stmcturally unique positions (Burt, 1976; Wasserman & Faust, 1994). To reiterate, any two actors can be said to be stmcturally equivalent when their relations with all other actors in the network are identical (Burt, 1976). However, many times there is little utility in such a strong measure of stmctural equivalence, since even a slight difference between any two actors would deem them not stmcturally equivalent (Burt, 1976). What is more useful, is a relaxed or approximate measure of stmctural equivalence (Lorrain & White. 1971; Burt, 1976). Scott (1991) and Wasserman and Faust (1994) suggest that a point be chosen which partitions the actors into useful classes which make sense. There is, however, no established mle for partitioning actors (Scott, 1991; Wasserman & Faust, 1994). UCINET rV (Borgatti, Everett & Freeman, 1992) was used to cluster the data. UCINET performed Johnson's hierarchical clustering on each of the ten (annual) stmctural equivalence matrices. The algorithm finds a series of nested partitions of the chains. The algorithm begins with an identity partition \s here each chain is treated as a 42 separate cluster. It then joins the most similar pairs of chains. The algorithm continues in this way until all the chains have been joined into a single cluster (Borgatti, Everett & Freeman, 1992). The output of the hierarchical clustering is a dendogram which visually partitions chains and also provides the level of similarity (a number between 0 and 1) between chains. A dendogram has a series of 'skyscrapers' (peaks) and 'valleys'. Since there is no established mle for partitioning actors, the researcher (using subject knowledge) must try to assess which peaks are high enough to classify actors into one cluster and which valleys are low enough to distinguish between clusters. To reiterate, a point should be chosen which partitions the actors into useful classes which make sense (Scott, 1991; Wasserman & Faust, 1994). To clarify how the clustering process works, an example is given next. An example of a dendogram can be seen in Figure 1. Figure 1 shows a series of nested partitions which correspond to rows in the dendogram. Each row of the dendogram indicates the degree of similarity among chains within clusters (Borgatti, Everett & Freeman. 1992). Within a given row, an 'x' between two adjacent columns indicates the level of similarity between the chains in the columns. For example, Kilbom and Sara have a 0.649 level of similarity between them, indicated by the peak between these chains. Hospitality Intemational (HOSINT), Rodeway (RODWY), Howard Johnson (HOJO), Friendship (FRDSHP), and Travel Intemational (TRAVINT) can be identified as one cluster. This is because the Valley' between the four chains in this cluster and those adjacent to them is relatively low (i.e., 0.8157 on the left and 0.7343 on 43 the right). The four chains appear to be a 'skyscraper' compared to those chains around them. The level of similarity among these four chains is 0.8894 at a minimum. However, the level of similarity between Hospitality Intemational and Rodeway is 0.8992; between Rodeway and Howard Johnson is .8894; between Howard Johnson and Friendship is 0.9287; and between Friendship and Travel Intemational is 0.9454. Now that one possible cluster has been identified, one can see other possible 'skyscrapers' in Figure 1. As there is no established mle for partitioning actors, an attempt was made to separate chains into clear clusters and outliers. To check for reliability of the cluster definitions, an independent rater was also asked to group chains into clear clusters and outliers. Once the identities of the clusters and outliers were agreed upon, the groups were then compared for similarities on the other dimensions of size, international experience, degree of internationalization, leader, first mover and nationality. Regression analysis was also used to examine the stmctural equivalence matrices. The process is described below. Regression Analysis In an attempt to make sense of the rivalry in the international hotel industry, the role of current characteristic similarity between pairs of chains, on current and future rivalry between those pairs of chains was examined. Are there any similarities in characteristics between pairs of chains which could explain current and future market similarity (and thus rivalry) between those pairs of chains? What can account for market similarity? What is it about these chains which can explain their similar choice of market 44 location? A combination of regression analysis and lagged regression analysis was used to conduct this examination. One caveat is that the results of the regression anal\sis have to be interpreted with caution, since the independence assumption of regression has been violated. The violation occurs because the input (stmcmral equivalence) matrices reflect the relationship of one chain with all other chains. The stmctural equivalence matrix coefficients w ere used as the dependent variable for each year. What is of relevance is the similarity between the dimensions of pairs of chains in a given year. Therefore, for each of the \ ariables of size, intemational experience, degree of intemationalization, first mo\ er, leader and nationality, the absolute difference between pairs of chains was computed for ever) chain. For the size and intemational experience variables, since there was such a large variance, a handful of chains were found to be unduly influential. To correct for this problem, log transformations were used for both \ ariables, prior to computing the absolute difference. A log transformation is the inverse of certain exponential functions. Log transformations are typical for this kind of measurement (Christensen & Montgomery, 1981). The results are not affected by log transformations, except to remove unduly influential chains from skewing the results. The first mover, leader and nationality variables were coded with a ' 1' if there was a difference between a given pair of chains, and a '0' otherwise. The differences between a given chain and every other chain for each of the \'ariables were then used as the independent variables in the regression analysis. Therefore, each chain had its own dataset for each year. Each of these datasets has the first column consisting of that chain's 45 stmctural equivalence coefficients with all other chains: a column for difference in size consisting of the absolute difference in size between that chain and all other chains (after the log transformations); and likewise columns for each of the other \ ariables of intemational experience, degree of intemationalization, leader, first mover and nationality. Multiple regression analysis was used to examine the extent to which market profile similarity could be explained by the difference in the other variables. A separate regression was mn for each chain in each year. The role of current characteristic similarity between pairs of chains, on fumre rivalry between those pairs of chains was examined using lagged regression analysis. In other words, if two chains have similar characteristics currently, does this similarity help to explain the market similarity and thus extent of rivalr) of the two chains in the future? Since there is still a violation of the independence assumption of regression, the results of the lagged regression have to be interpreted with caution. A three-year lag was used because studies have shown that it takes three years to imitate intemational market entry strategies (Flowers, 1976). A separate lagged regression equation was mn for each chain occurring both in a given year and three years later. For example, the first set of lagged regression equations used stmctural equivalence matrix coefficients from 1987 as the dependent variable, and the 1984 difference of the other variables (size, intemational experience, degree of intemationalization, leader, first mover and nationality) as the independent variables. The hypotheses examine the extent to u hich the variables used in the study explain market similarity. T-test analysis \\ as used to test hypotheses 1 through 6. For 46 each chain in each year, the regression coefficients were used as the input for the t-tests. For example, the input dataset for 1984 consists of the regression coefficients of each chain for each of the variables ~ a chain by variable matrix. The PROC UNIVARIATE' option of SAS statistical package was used to conduct the t-test. Descriptive statistics were computed by the univariate procedure. The following chapter includes the results and discussion of results. 47 CHAPTER IV RESULTS The results of the regression analysis will be presented first, followed by the lagged regression analysis results, t-test results and cluster analysis results. All results are presented annually. Regression Analysis Results 1984 Results The results of the regression analyses for 1984 are presented in Table 1. Separate regression analyses were performed for each chain, for each year. Market similarity is well explained for Hilton (not Hilton Intemational), Hyatt Intemational, Intercontinental, Le Meridien, Ramada, Sheraton and SRS. The regression coefficients of these chains are listed in Table 2. The sign and magnitude of the coefficients of the seven chains does not appear to radically differ from all other chains. As can be seen, the R-square values within this group range from 0.5731 - 0.669. The magnitude of each of the four independent variable coefficients is about the same for the seven chains. What is interesting is that the sign of the coefficients is the same for all seven chains for only one variable ~ the intemational experience variable. A one unit increase in the difference of logs for intemational experience will decrease market similarity by approximately 0.15 among this group, holding all other variables fixed. To allow for further examination of the similarity of these chains, the characteristics of each of these chains is outlined in Table 3. 48 The size of the seven chains varies from 35,306 rooms to 129,623 rooms with the exception of Hyatt Intemational and Le Meridien. The seven chains each have a lot of intemational experience, ranging from 28 countries to 50 countries, with the exception of Ramada. Degree of intemationalization in the group varies from 0.88 - 0.98, with the exception of Sheraton and Ramada. Home countries include the U.S., France and Germany. Ramada is a mid-priced chain. All the other chains are luxury chains. These seven chains are multinational chains (i.e. intemational experience in many countries) with a high degree of intemationalization and approximately similar types of hotels. In general, this group consists of large, American and European multinational luxury chains for whom intemational operations are fairly important. It is interesting that not all chains with intemational experience in many countries have well-explained market similarity. For example, Best Westem has intemational experience in 22 countries and Holiday Inn has intemational experience in 49 countries, but these chains have relatively lower R-squared values. The difference between the chains with well-explained market similarity and Best Westem can be explained by a combination of factors. Specifically, Best Westem is a luxury-budget chain, while the others are luxury chains; Best Westem also has a relatively low degree of intemationalization (0.2947). The difference between the chains with well-explained market similarity and Holiday Inn can also be explained by a combination of factors. Specifically, Holiday Inn is a mid-priced chain while the others are luxury chains, and Holiday Inn also has a relatively low degree of intemationalization (0.1366). The implication of the findings is that the variables used in this particular study may not explain market similarity well, unless a chain is a large, multinational chain. 49 1985Resohs The results of tbe 1985 regression analyses are sbovkn in Table ^.

Each of the ciiains has cxpeneace in at least 26 countries and in as many as 61 countries, with the exception of Westin. Intonatioiial opraations are imp(xtant to all chains in the group as indicated by the degree of intemationalization which ranges from 0.83 - 0.97. with the exception of WestiiL There are no leaders among the chains, and the only first niover is Sheraton.

This groiq) consists of large, American and European multinational hixmy chains withrelativelyhigh importance placed on intCToational o>peraiioos. 1986 Results The results of the 1986 regression analyses are shown in Table 7. Market similarity is well predicted for Hilton International, Hyatt International, Intercontinental and SRS. The regression coefficients of these chains are presented in Table 8. The sign of the coefficients is the same for the four chains for the intemational experieiice, leader andfirstmover variables. A one unit increase in the difference of logs 50 for intemational experience will decrease market similarity by approximately 0.18, holding all other variables fixed. If there is a difference in leadership behavior, it would decrease market similarity by approximately 0.1, holding all other variables fixed. If there is a difference in first mover behavior, it would decrease market similarity by approximately 0.03, holding all other variables fixed. The characteristics of these chains are shown in Table 9. The chains range in size from 17,604 rooms to 46,008 rooms. They all have experience in at least 26 countries, and in as many as 47 countries. They all have relatively high importance placed on intemational operations ~ degree of intemationalization varies from 0.87 - 0.97. The chains are all first movers, meaning they were the first intemational chain to enter at least one intemational city in 1986. Home countries include the U.S. and Germany. All four chains are luxury chains. This group consists of multinational U.S. and German luxury chains, all aggressive enough to be firstmovers. It is not surprising that such chains with experience in so many different countries would be comfortable with the risks of being the first intemational chain to enter a given intemational city. It is precisely because they have accumulated significant intemational experience that they are comfortable entering a new foreign environment. 1987 Results The results of the 1987 regression analyses are shown in Table 10. Market similarity is well explained for Hyatt Intemational, Intercontinental, Le Meridien, Ramada, Sheraton and SRS. The regression coefficients of these chains are presented in Table 11. The sign of the coefficients is the same for the chains for the intemational experience, leader and first mover variables. A one unit increase in the difference of logs for intemational experience will decrease market similarity by approximately 0.17, 51 holding all other variables fixed. If there is a difference in leadership behavior, it would decrease market similarity by approximately 0.05, holding all other variables fixed. If there is a difference in first mover behavior, it would decrease market similarity by approximately 0.02, holding all other variables fixed. With the exception of Le Meridien, all the chains have the same sign for the size coefficient. A one unit increase in the difference of logs for size will decrease market similarity by approximately 0.02, holding all other variables fixed. The characteristics of these chains are presented in Table 12. The chains vary in size from 22,077 rooms to 143,557 rooms. International experience in the group varies from 20 countries to 62 countries. The relative importance of intemational operations varies widely in this group from 0.1384 - 0.9286. All six chains are first movers. They are from the U.S., France or Germany. They are all luxury chains with the exception of Ramada. This group consists mostly of large, American and European multinational luxury chains. Ramada has the lowest degree of intemationalization of the six chains (0.1384) and is also the only mid-priced chain. Possible reasons for Ramada's well-explained market similarity is its large size (97,903 rooms), high international experience (20 countries) and first mover behavior. All chains in this group are firstmovers. The chains have experience in many countries and, therefore, would likely be comfortable being the first foreign chain to enter a given intemational city. 1988 Results The results of the 1988 regression analyses are shown in Table 13. Market similarity is well explained for Frantel, Golden Tulip, Hilton Intemational, Holiday Inn, 52 Hyatt Intemational, Intercontinental, Le Meridien, Novotel, Ramada, Sheraton, SRS, Swiss Intemational and Tmsthouse. The regression coefficients of these chains are presented in Table 14. With the exception of Swiss Intemational, the sign of the size coefficients is the same for the chains. A one unit increase in the difference of logs for size will decrease market similarity by approximately 0.04, holding all other variables fixed. The sign of the coefficients is the same for the chains for the international experience and leader variables. A one unit increase in the difference of logs for intemational experience will decrease market similarity by approximately 0.17, holding all other variables fixed. If there is a difference in leadership behavior, it would decrease market similarity by approximately 0.1, holding all other variables fixed. Golden Tulip is the only Dutch chain in the industry in 1988. The regression equation for Golden Tulip could not include nationality since the variable is computed using the difference between this chain's nationality and that of all other chains in the year. Since Golden Tulip is different from all other chains in this year, nationality could not be regressed against market similarity for this chain. In the same manner, SRS is the only German chain in 1988, and therefore nationality could not be regressed against market similarity for the chain. The characteristics of these chains are shown in Table 15. Size in the group varies from 19,211 rooms to 318,574 rooms with the exception of Swiss Intemational. The chains have experience in at least 18 countries and in as many as 63 countries. Degree of intemationalization is over 0.6 except for Golden Tulip, Hilton International and Ramada. For most of the chains, degree of internationalization is over 0.8. Golden Tulip, Holiday 53 Inn, Ramada, Sheraton, SRS, Swiss Intemational and Tmsthouse are all first movers. Home countries include France, the Netherlands, the U.S., Germany, Switzerland and the U.K.. Holiday Inn and Ramada are mid-priced hotel chains. All the other chains of known type are luxury hotels. This group consists of mostly large, American and European multinational luxury chains. 1989 Results The results of the 1989 regression analyses are shown in Table 16. Market similarity is well explained for Frantel, Golden Tulip, Hilton Intemational, Holiday Inn, Intercontinental, Le Meridien, Novotel, Ramada, SAS, Sheraton, Sofitel, SRS, Swiss Intemational and Tmsthouse PLC. The regression coefficients for these chains are presented in Table 17. The sign of the coefficients is the same for all chains for the intemational experience variable. A one unit increase in the difference of logs for intemational experience will decrease market similarity by approximately 0.25, holding all other variables fixed. The characteristics of these chains are shown in Table 18. Size of the group varies from 19,977 rooms to 318,574 rooms with the exception of SAS, Sofitel and Swiss Intemational (with fewer than 10,000 rooms). Intemational experience varies between 18 and 61 countries. Degree of intemationalization is over 0.6 except for Holiday Inn, Ramada, SAS, Sheraton and Tmsthouse PLC. Frantel, Golden Tulip, Le Meridien, Ramada, Sheraton, Sofitel, SRS and Tmsthouse PLC are first movers. Home countries represented include France, the Netherlands, the U.S., Norway, Germany, Switzerland 54 and the U.K.. Holiday Inn and Ramada are mid-priced hotel chains. All the other chains of known type are luxury hotels. This group consists mostly of American and European multinational luxury chains. 1990 Results The results of the 1990 regression analyses are shown in Table 19. Market similarity is well explained for Frantel, Golden Tulip, Hilton Intemational, Holiday Inn, Hyatt Intemational, Intercontinental, Le Meridien, Ramada, Sheraton, SRS and Swiss Intemational. The regression coefficients of these chains are presented in Table 20. The sign of the coefficients is the same for this group for the intemational experience and leader variables. A one unit increase in the difference of logs for intemational experience will decrease market similarity by approximately 0.2, holding all other variables fixed. If there is a difference in leadership behavior, it would decrease market similarity by approximately 0.26, holding all other variables fixed. The sign of the coefficients of the degree of intemationalization variable is the same for all chains except Frantel and Ramada. With the exception of these two chains, a one unit increase in difference of degree of intemationalization would decrease market similarity by approximately 0.02, holding all other variables fixed. The sign of the coefficients of the nationality variable is the same for all chains except Golden Tulip, Hyatt Intemational and Intercontinental. With the exception of these three chains, if there is a difference in nationality, it would decrease market similarity by approximately 0.004, holding all other variables fixed. Golden Tulip is the only Dutch chain in the industry in 1990. The regression equation for 55 Golden Tulip could not include nationality since the variable is computed using the difference between this chain's nationality and that of all other chains in the year. Since Golden Tulip is different from all other chains in this year, nationality could not be regressed against market similarity for this chain. The characteristics of these chains are shown in Table 21. The size in the group varies from 7,102 rooms to 314,261 rooms. Intemational experience varies from 18 to 67 countries. The importance of intemational operations is 0.6 at a minimum except for Holiday Inn and Ramada. First movers in the group are Golden Tulip, Holiday Inn, Ramada, Sheraton, and SRS. Home nations represented are France, the Netheriands, the U.S., Germany and Switzerland. The type of hotel is unknown for Frantel and Swiss Intemational. The rest of the chains are luxury chains with exception of Holiday Inn and Ramada, which are mid-priced hotels. This group consists mostly of American and European multinational luxury chains. 1991 Results The results of the 1991 regression analyses are shown in Table 22. Market similarity is well explained for Frantel, Hilton International, Holiday Inn, Hyatt Intemational, Le Meridien, Marriott, Nikko, Preferred, Sheraton, Sofitel, SRS, Swiss Intemational and Tmsthouse PLC. The regression coefficients of these chains are presented in Table 23. The sign of the coefficients is the same for all chains for the size, intemational experience and leader variables. A one unit increase in the difference of logs for size will decrease market similarity by approximately 0.2, holding all other 56 variables fixed. A one unit increase in the difference of logs for intemational experience will decrease market similarity by approximately 0.27, holding all other variables fixed. If there is a difference in leadership behavior, it would increase market similarity by approximately 0.15, holding all other variables fixed. The characteristics of these chains are shown in Table 24. The size of the group varies between 10,286 rooms and 319,135 rooms. International experience varies from 10 to 55 countries. Degree of intemationalization varies upwards of 0.6, except for Holiday Inn, Marriott, Preferred, Sheraton and Tmsthouse PLC. The only first mover in the group is Hilton Intemational. Home nations include France, the U.S., Japan, Germany, Switzerland and the U.K.. Type of hotel is unknown for Frantel, Nikko, Swiss International and Tmsthouse PLC. All the other chains, with the exception of Holiday Inn (mid-priced) are luxury chains. This group consists of American, European and Japanese multinational chains with mostly luxury hotels. 1992 Results The results of the 1992 regression analyses are shown in Table 25. Market similarity is well explained for Choice, Frantel, Golden Tulip, Hilton Intemational, Holiday Inn, Hyatt Intemational, Intercontinental, Le Meridien, Marriott, Ramada Intemational (not Ramada), Sheraton and SRS. The regression coefficients of these chains are presented in Table 26. The sign of the coefficients is the same for all chains for the size and intemational experience variables. A one unit increase in the difference of logs for size will decrease market similarity by approximately 0.06, holding all other 57 variables fixed. A one unit increase in the difference of logs for intemational experience will decrease market similarity by approximately 0.2, holding all other variables fixed. The sign of the coefficients of the nationality variable is the same for all chains except Golden Tulip, Ramada Intemational and SRS. For the rest of the chains, if there is a difference in nationality, it will increase market similarity by approximately 0.01, holding all other variables fixed. Golden Tulip is the only Dutch chain in the industry in 1992. The regression equation for Golden Tulip could not include nationality since the variable is computed using the difference between this chain's nationality and that of all other chains in the year. Since Golden Tulip is different from all other chains in this year, nationality could not be regressed against market similarity for this chain. The characteristics of these chains are shown in Table 27. Size varies from 21,882 rooms to 322,527 rooms with the exception of Frantel and Le Meridien. The chains have experience in at least 16 countries and in as many as 59 countries. Degree of intemationalization varies from 0.09 to 1.0. Choice, Golden Tulip, Intercontinental, Sheraton and SRS are first movers. Home countries include the U.S., France, Netheriands, the U.K., Hong Kong and Germany. Type of hotel is unknown for Frantel. The rest of the chains are luxury chains, with the exception of Holiday Inn and Ramada Intemational (mid-priced chains) and Choice which has many different types of hotels. This group consists of large American, European and Hong Kong multinational chains with mostly luxury hotels. 58 1993 Results The results of the 1993 regression analyses are shown in Table 28. Market similarity is well explained for Golden Tulip, Hilton Intemational, Holiday Inn, Hyatt Intemational, Intercontinental, Le Meridien, Marriott, Preferred, Ramada Intemational (not Ramada), Sheraton, Southem Pacific, SRS, Swiss Intemational and Tmsthouse PLC. The regression coefficients of these chains are presented in Table 29. The sign of the coefficients is the same for all chains for the size and international experience variables. A one unit increase in the difference of logs for size will decrease market similarity by approximately 0.05, holding all other variables fixed. A one unit increase in the difference of logs for intemational experience will decrease market similarity by approximately 0.2, holding all other variables fixed. With the exception of Marriott and Southem Pacific, the sign of the coefficients for degree of intemationalization is the same for all chains. A one unit increase in the difference of degree of intemationalization will decrease market similarity by approximately 0.09, holding all other variables fixed. With the exception of Hilton International, Marriott and Preferred, the sign of the coefficients for the first mover variable is the same for the chains. If there is a difference in first mover behavior, it would increase market similarity by approximately 0.06, holding all other variables fixed. The characteristics of these chains are shown in Table 30. The size in the group varies from 11,613 rooms to 349,226 rooms. Intemational experience varies from 16 countries to 53 countries. Degree of intemationalization varies from 0.09 to 1.0, but most of the chains have degree of intemationalization over 0.7. Hilton Intemational is the only 59 first mover in the group. The home countries include the Netherlands, U.K., the U.S., France, Hong Kong, Australia, Germany and Switzerland. Type of hotel is unknown for Southem Pacific, Swiss Intemational and Tmsthouse PLC. All the other chains, with the exception of Holiday Inn and Ramada Intemational (which are both mid-priced) are luxury chains. This group consists of American, European, Australian and Hong Kong multinational chains with mostly luxury hotels. Summary of Regression Analysis Results The results of the ten years of analyses indicate that the variables used in this study explain what drives market similarity only for certain kinds of chains, namely large, multinational luxury chains from industrialized nations. T-Test Results The results of the hypotheses test are presented in Table 31. The results are presented annually. To reiterate, there are no values for the leader and first mover variables in 1984 since that is the first year of the study and therefore there was no previous year to serve as a comparison. In the last two years of the study (1992 and 1993) no chains were leaders and therefore, no hypothesis testing was conducted for this variable for these years. The hypotheses, results of the tests of the hypotheses and implications follow. HI: Difference in size has no effect on market similarity between pairs of chains. 60 The results are mixed for this hypothesis. In all years except 1987, we fail to reject this hypothesis. However, in 1987 the hypothesis is rejected (p=0.0003). It is not clear why 1987 yields different results from all other years in the study. H2: Difference in intemational experience has no effect on market similarity between pairs of chains. The results are also mixed for this hypothesis. In all years except 1987 and 1989, we fail to reject this hypothesis. In 1987 the hypothesis is rejected (p<0.0001) and in 1989, the hypothesis is rejected (p=0.003). It is not clear why 1987 or 1989 yield different results from all other years in the study. H3: Difference in degree of intemationalization has no effect on market similarity between pairs of chains. The results are, once again, mixed for this hypothesis. In all years except 1984 and 1993, we fail to reject this hypothesis. In 1984 the hypothesis is rejected (p=0.008), and in 1993 the hypothesis is rejected (p=0.0017). Once again, the reason for the mixed results is unclear. H4: Difference in first mover behavior has no effect on market similarity between pairs of chains. In all except three of the years we reject the hypothesis at a significance level ranging from 0.04 to 0.0001. We fail to reject the hypothesis in 1985, 1986 and 1988, without any clear reason seen for the difference in results. The implication is that first mover behavior may have some effect on market similarity. 61 H5: Difference in leader behavior has no effect on market similarity between pairs of chains. In all years, we reject the hypothesis at a significance level ranging from 0.0243 to 0.0001. The implication is that leader behavior may have some effect on market similarity. H6: Difference in nationality has no effect on market similarity between pairs of chains. This hypothesis is rejected in all years, with significance levels ranging from 0.003 to 0.0001. The implication is that nationality may have some effect on market similarity. To summarize, we fail to reject the hypotheses relating to size, intemational experience and degree of intemationalization. The implication is that these variable may not have any significant effect on market similarity. We reject the hypotheses relating to first mover behavior, leader behavior and nationality. The implication is that that these variables may have some effect on market similarity and thus rivalry. When trying to distinguish between rivals, the t-test results show some support for including first mover behavior, leader behavior and nationality constmcts. Descriptive Statistics The descriptive statistics for each of the variables, by year, is provided in Table 32. There is no clear pattem to the mean coefficients for the size variable. If there is a difference in size between two chains, the results do not indicate a pattem in the extent of market similarity between the two chains. The intemational experience variable has a 62 negative mean coefficient in nine of the ten years. If there is a difference in intemational experience between two chains, the market similarity between the two will be less. The degree of intemationalization variable has a negative mean coefficient in eight of the ten years. If there is a difference in intemationalization between two chains, the market similarity between the two will be less. The first mover variable has a positive mean coefficient in all of the years. If there is a difference in first mover behavior between two chains, the market similarity between the two will be more. The leader variable has a negative mean coefficient in six of the eight years possible. If there is a difference in leader behavior between two chains, the market similarity between the two will be less. The nationality variable has a negative mean coefficient in all ten years. If there is a difference in the nationality of two chains, the market similarity between the two will be less. Lagged Regression Results 1984 Results The results of the 1984 regression analyses are shown in Table 33. Separate regression analyses were performed for each chain appearing both in 1984 and 1987. The dependent variables were the 1987 market similarity coefficients obtained from the 1987 stmctural equivalence matrix. The independent variables were the 1984 differences between the focal chain and all other chains for size, intemational experience, degree of intemationalization, and nationality. 63 Only Hilton, Hyatt Intemational, Intercontinental, Sheraton and SRS have market similarity which is well-predicted with the independent variables. The regression coefficients of these chains are presented in Table 34. The sign of the coefficients for intemational experience is negative for all chains. A one unit increase in difference of logs for intemational experience will decrease market similarity by approximately 0.18, holding all other variables fixed. The characteristics of these chains were shown previously in Table 2. The size of the chains varies from 35,306 rooms to 129,623 rooms with the exception of Hyatt Intemational. The chains each have a lot of intemational experience ranging from 28 countries to 50 countries. Degree of intemationalization in the group varies from 0.91 to 0.98, with the exception of Sheraton. Home countries include the U.S. and Germany. All the chains are luxury chains. These are multinational chains (i.e. international experience in many countries) with a high degree of intemationalization and similar types of hotels. In general, this group consists of large, American and European multinational luxury chains for whom intemational operations are fairly important. The implication of the findings is that the variables used in this particular study may not explain future market similarity well, unless a chain is a large, multinational chain. 1985 Results The results of the 1985 regression analyses are shown in Table 35. Separate regression analyses were performed for each chain appearing both in 1985 and 1988. The 64 dependent variables were the 1988 market similarity coefficients obtained from the 1988 stmctural equivalence matrix. The independent variables were the 1985 differences between the focal chain and all other chains for size, intemational experience, degree of intemationalization, leader, first mover and nationality. Market similarity is well-predicted only for Hilton Intemational, Intercontinental, SRS and Swissotel. The regression coefficients of these chains are presented in Table 36. Swissotel is the only leader in 1985. Since Swissotel is different from all other chains in this dataset, leader behavior could not be regressed against market similarity for this chain. Swissotel and SRS are the only Swiss and German chains (respectively) in the 1985 lagged dataset. Since Swissotel and SRS are different from all other chains in this dataset, nationality could not be regressed against market similarity for these two chains. The sign of the coefficients for degree of intemationalization is the same for all chains - negative. A one unit increase in difference of degree of intemationalization will decrease market similarity by approximately 0.02, holding all other variables fixed. The sign of the coefficients for the first mover variable is the same for the chains - also negative. If there is a difference in first mover behavior, it would decrease market similarity by approximately 0.03, holding all other variables fixed. The characteristics of the chains are presented in Table 37. The size of the chains varies from 1,809 rooms to 46,008 rooms. With the exception of Swissotel, the chains each have a lot of intemational experience - the range is from 42 countries to 47 countries. Degree of intemationalization in the group varies from 0.63 - 0.94. Home countries include the U.S., Germany and Switzerland. There are no first movers in the 65 group. The type of hotel for Swissotel is unknown. All the other chains are luxury chains. This group consists mostly of multinational, luxury chains from industrialized Westem countries, with high relative importance placed on intemational operations. 1986 Results The results of the 1986 regression analyses are shown in Table 38. Separate regression analyses were performed for each chain appearing both in 1986 and 1989. The dependent variables were the 1989 market similarity coefficients obtained from the 1989 stmctural equivalence matrix. The independent variables were the 1986 differences between the focal chain and all other chains for size, intemational experience, degree of intemationalization, leader, first mover and nationality. Market similarity is well predicted for Days Inn, Econolodge, Hilton Intemational, Intercontinental, Meridien, Sheraton and SRS. The regression coefficients of these chains are presented in Table 39. The sign of the coefficients for intemational experience is the same for all chains - negative. A one unit increase in difference of logs for intemational experience will decrease market similarity by approximately 0.15, holding all other variables fixed. The sign of the coefficients for the first mover variable is the same for the chains. If there is a difference in first mover behavior, it would increase market similarity by approximately 0.04, holding all other variables fixed. The characteristics of these chains are presented in Table 40. The size of the chains varies from 19,650 rooms to 145,183 rooms. With the exception of Days Inn and Econolodge, the chains have intemational experience in the range of 31 countries to 61 66 countries. Degree of intemationalization in the group varies from 0.002 - 0.94. Days Inn and Econolodge are the only non-first movers in the group. Home countries include the U.S., France and Germany. All the chains have luxury hotels except for Days Inn and Econolodge, which have economy hotels. This group is not easy to classify. Days Inn and Econolodge appear to look different from other chains in the group on all dimensions except size and nationality. This group appears to be one of mostly large, multinational luxury chains. 1987 Results The results of the 1987 regression analyses are shown in Table 41. Separate regression analyses were performed for each chain appearing both in 1987 and 1990. The dependent variables were the 1990 market similarity coefficients obtained from the 1990 stmctural equivalence matrix. The independent variables were the 1987 differences between the focal chain and all other chains for size, intemational experience, degree of intemationalization, leader, first mover and nationality. Market similarity is well predicted for Hilton Intemational, Intercontinental, Meridien, Sheraton and SRS. The regression coefficients of these chains are presented in Table 42. The characteristics of these chains were presented in Table 12. The sign of the coefficients for intemational experience is the same for all chains. A one unit increase in difference of logs for intemational experience will decrease market similarity by approximately 0.2, holding all other variables fixed. The sign of the coefficients for the first mover variable is the same for the chains. If there is a difference in first mover 67 behavior, it would increase market similarity by approximately 0.04, holding all other variables fixed. The chains vary in size from 22,077 rooms to 143,557 rooms. Intemational experience in the group varies from 28 countries to 62 countries. The relative importance of intemational operations varies widely in this group from 0.3 - 0.9286. All five chains are first movers. They are from the U.S., France or Germany. They are all luxury chains. This group consists of large, American and European multinational, luxury chains. 1988 Results The results of the 1988 regression analyses are shown in Table 43. Separate regression analyses were performed for each chain appearing both in 1988 and 1991. The dependent variables were the 1991 market similarity coefficients obtained from the 1991 stmctural equivalence matrix. The independent variables were the 1988 differences between the focal chain and all other chains for size, intemational experience, degree of intemationalization, leader, first mover and nationality. Market similarity is well predicted for Hilton Intemational, Sheraton, SRS and Westin. The regression coefficients of these chains are presented in Table 44. The sign of the coefficients for size is the same for all chains. A one unit increase in difference of logs for size will decrease market similarity by approximately 0.08, holding all other variables fixed. The sign of the coefficients for intemational experience is the same for all chains. A one unit increase in difference of logs for intemational experience will decrease market similarity by approximately 0.15, holding all other variables fixed. 68 The characteristics of these chains are presented in Table 45. The chains vary in size from 40,048 rooms to 352,123 rooms. Intemational experience in the group varies from 10 countries to 61 countries. The relative importance of intemational operations varies widely in this group from 0.11 - 0.93. Sheraton and SRS are first movers. The chains are from the U.S. or Germany. They are all luxury chains. This group consists of American and European multinational, luxury chains. 1989 Results The results of the 1989 regression analyses are shown in Table 46. Separate regression analyses were performed for each chain appearing both in 1989 and 1992. The dependent variables were the 1992 market similarity coefficients obtained from the 1992 stmctural equivalence matrix. The independent variables were the 1989 differences between the focal chain and all other chains for size, international experience, degree of intemationalization, leader, first mover and nationality. Market similarity is well predicted for Golden Tulip, Hilton Intemational, Holiday Inn, Intercontinental, Sheraton, and SRS. The regression coefficients of these chains are presented in Table 47. The characteristics of these chains were presented in Table 18. The sign of the coefficients for size is the same for all chains. A one unit increase in difference of logs for size will decrease market similarity by approximately 0.11, holding all other variables fixed. The sign of the coefficients for intemational experience is the same for all chains. A one unit increase in difference of logs for intemational experience will decrease market similarity by approximately 0.15, holding all other variables fixed. 69 Size of the group varies from 41,356 rooms to 318,574 rooms. Intemational experience varies between 42 and 61 countries. Degree of internationalization is over 0.6 except for Holiday Inn and Sheraton. Golden Tulip, Sheraton and SRS are first movers. Home countries represented include the Netheriands, the U.S. and Germany. Holiday Inn is a mid-priced hotel chains. All the other chains are luxury hotels. This group consists of large, American and European multinational luxury chains. 1990 Results The results of the 1990 regression analyses are shown in Table 48. Separate regression analyses were performed for each chain appearing both in 1990 and 1993. The dependent variables were the 1993 market similarity coefficients obtained from the 1993 stmctural equivalence matrix. The independent variables were the 1990 differences between the focal chain and all other chains for size, intemational experience, degree of intemationalization, leader, first mover and nationality. Market similarity is well predicted for Golden Tulip, Hilton Intemational, Intercontinental, Meridien and SRS. The regression coefficients of these chains are presented in Table 49. The characteristics of these chains were presented in Table 21. The sign of the coefficients for size is the same for all chains. A one unit increase in difference of logs for size will decrease market similarity by approximately 0.05, holding all other variables fixed. The sign of the coefficients for intemational experience is the same for all chains. A one unit increase in difference of logs for intemational experience will decrease market similarity by approximately 0.18, holding all other variables fixed. 70 The sign of the coefficients for degree of internationalization is the same for all chains. A one unit increase in difference of degree of intemationalization will decrease market similarity by approximately 0.03, holding all other variables fixed. The size in the group varies from 18,693 rooms to 66,850 rooms. Intemational experience varies from 34 to 67 countries. The importance of intemational operations is 0.8 at a minimum. First movers in the group are Golden Tulip and SRS. Home nations represented are France, the Netheriands, the U.S. and Germany. The chains are all luxury chains. This group consists of American and European multinational luxury chains. Summary of Lagged Regression Analysis Results The results of the seven years of lagged analyses indicate that the variables used in this study explain what drives market similarity three years into the future only for certain kinds of chains, namely chains which are multinational, American and European luxury chains. The results of the lagged regression analyses thus further confirm the results of the regression analyses. Cluster Analysis Results The results of the cluster analysis are presented in figures in the form of dendograms. Characteristics of the chains in each cluster for each year are then presented in the form of tables. For these tables, up to the first seven columns show the previously obtained regression coefficients for each given chain. Some chains had missing data for size and degree of intemationalization. For these chains, regression analyses could not be 71 performed due to the missing data. For these chains, therefore, there are no regression coefficients. The characteristics of each given chain are also included in each table. To reiterate, chain size (SIZE) is number of total rooms; intemational experience (lEXP) is number of countries within which a firm has operations; degree of intemationalization (DOI) is ratio of foreign rooms to total number of rooms; nationality (NAT) is home country affiliation; and type of hotel (TYPE) is price and facility level of most of the chain's hotels. Type of hotel can vary from economy, to luxury budget to mid-priced to luxury. Where information about type of hotel was unavailable, a question mark is used in the tables. Each cluster is made up of chains with a relatively high degree of market similarity. Each cluster is examined to see what could be driving this market similarity. Outliers in each year are also examined to see if the source of their unique market profile can be uncovered. 1984 Results The results of the 1984 cluster analysis are presented in Figure 1. The characteristics of each cluster are presented in Table 50. Cluster A : Hospitality Intemational. Rodeway, Howard Johnson, Friendship, and Travel Intemational. The regression coefficients for each variable appear to be similar in sign and magnitude for all chains. The extent to which market similarity is explained by the regression model also appears similar within the group. The size in the group varies 72 from 17,034 rooms to 56,692 rooms. This cluster has members with limited intemational experience in 1 or 2 countries only, and little importance is placed on intemational operations (0.02 - 0.08). All the chains are from the U.S., and those with known types are luxury-budget hotels. The basis of characteristic similarity lies in the fact that this appears to be a cluster of American luxury-budget chains with very little intemational experience. Mimetic isomorphism does not explain what drives the market similarity in this cluster since the chains in this cluster are highly varied in size. However, the chains in this cluster are the same type of chain from the same home country and, therefore, are more likely to be direct competitors. Presumably they try to keep up with one another in intemational expansion so that they can influence one another and perhaps take advantage of agglomeration economies (Weber, 1929). Cluster B: Regent Intemational, Novotel, Ramada, Hyatt Intemational, Le Meridien, Sheraton, Hilton, Intercontinental. Golden Tulip, and SRS. The previously obtained regression coefficients within the group for each variable appear to be similar in sign and magnitude. The extent to which market similarity is explained by the regression model also appears similar within the group with the exception of Regent Intemational. Size in the group varies from 5,424 rooms to 129,623 rooms. Intemational experience varies from 8 to 66 countries. Degree of intemationalization varies from 0.0983 to 1.0. Home countries include Canada, France, the U.S., Netheriands, and Germany. All the chains are luxury chains except for Ramada. The basis of characteristic similarity lies in 73 the fact that this appears to be a cluster of North American and European multinational luxury chains. Mimetic isomorphism does not explain what drives the market similarity in this cluster since the chains in this cluster are highly varied in size. However, the chains in this cluster are the same type of chain, each with a significant amount of intemational experience. They are likely to be direct competitors, and therefore, they try to keep up with one another in international expansion so that they can influence one another and perhaps take advantage of agglomeration economies (Weber, 1929). Cluster C: Quality, Dorint, IBIS, Southem Pacific, Holiday Inn, Tmsthouse, Sofitel, Best Westem, Accommodation, Super 8 and Westours. The previously obtained regression coefficients within the group for each variable appear to be similar in sign and magnitude. The source of similarity in this cluster is not immediately obvious. There appears to be variation on each of the characteristics. Size in the group varies greatly from 761 rooms to 307,980 rooms. Intemational experience also varies greatly from 1 to 49 countries. Degree of internationalization varies greatly from 0.002 to 0.8699. Home countries include the U.S., Germany, Australia, the U.K. and France. Quality and Holiday Inn are mid-priced chains; Best Westem and Super 8 are economy chains; Sofitel is a luxury chain; and the type of hotel for the other chains in the group is unknown. A basis of characteristic similarity does not appear to exist in this cluster. There appears to be variation on each of the characteristics Mimetic isomorphism does not explain the source of market similarity in this cluster. Size in the group varies from small (761 rooms) to very large (307,980 rooms). 74 The chains are not from the same part of the world, are not the same type of hotels and do not even place the same importance on intemational operations. It would be hard to make a case for all chains in this cluster to be direct competitors. Outliers: Kilbourne. Sara. Radisson, Jack Tar, Days Inn and York. What is it about these chains that makes them outliers? Sara is the only Swedish chain in 1984. Almost all of these outliers can be considered fairiy small chains (under 9,000 rooms) in the industry. Also, they all have very limited intemational experience (in 1 or 2 countries only). One reason for their unique market profiles could be that such firms have no clear intemational strategy, but rather expand as opportunities come their way. This could account for the unique profiles. To summarize, besides market similarity, chains in two of the three clusters in 1984 seem to have at least one characteristic in common, namely intemational experience, nationality or type of hotel. However, there does not appear to be one characteristic which is found to be common in all clusters, although international experience does appear relatively more dominant. Size is not similar among chains in any of the clusters in 1984. 1985 Results The dendogram for 1985 is shown in Figure 2. The characteristics of each cluster are outlined in Table 51. Cluster A: Commonwealth, Comfort and Thistle. The previously obtained regression coefficients within the group for each variable appear to be similar in sign and 75 magnitude. The extent to which market similarity is explained by the regression model also appears similar within the group. Size in the group varies from 4,637 rooms to 11,937 rooms. Intemational experience varies from 1 to 6 countries. Degree of intemationalization varies from 0.14 to 0.37. None of the chains are first movers. Home countries include Canada and the U.K.. Type of hotel is unknown except for Comfort which is a mid-priced chain. The basis of characteristic similarity lies in the fact that this appears to be a cluster of fairiy small, Canadian and British chains with limited intemational experience and low relative importance given to intemational operations. Mimetic isomorphism does not clearly explain the market similarity. While all three chains are fairly small. Commonwealth is still almost twice the size of Comfort and almost three times the size of Thistle. It would be hard to argue that the chains imitate each other due to similarity in size. The chains in this cluster are dabbling in intemational operations as evidenced by low degree of internationalization, but other than that it is hard to see why these three chains might be considered direct competitors. Cluster B: Rank, Jack Tar, Quality, BTH, Dorint, IBIS, Holiday, Tmsthouse. Connor Jacobson, Frantel, Sofitel, Best Westem, Westours, Welcom, Radisson and Grand Champions. The previously obtained regression coefficients within the group for each variable are not that similar in sign and magnitude. There is also variation in the extent to which market similarity is explained by the regression model. The source of similarity in this cluster is not immediately obvious. There appears to be variation on each of the characteristics. Size varies greatly from 381 rooms to 315,505 rooms. Intemational experience varies greatly from 1 country to 52 countries. Degree of 76 intemationalization varies from 0.007 to 1.0. Jack Tar, BTH and Best Westem are first movers. Home countries include the U.K., the U.S., Germany, Guatemala, France and India. Type of hotel is only known for the following: Best Westem is an economy chain; Quality, Holiday and Radisson are mid-priced chains; and Jack Tar, Connor Jacobson and Sofitel are luxury chains. Mimetic isomorphism does not explain the source of market similarity in this cluster. Size in the group varies from small (381 rooms) to very large (315,505 rooms). The chains are not from the same part of the world, are not the same type of hotels and do not even place the same importance on intemational operations. It would be hard to make a case for all chains in this cluster to be direct competitors. Cluster C: Westin, Le Meridien, Ramada, Hyatt, Hilton Intemational Intercontinental, Sheraton and SRS. The regression coefficients within the group for each variable appear to be similar in sign and magnitude. The extent to which market similarity is explained by the regression model also appears similar within the group. Size varies from 14,183 rooms to 139,605 rooms. Intemational experience varies from 12 to 61 countries. Degree of intemationalization varies from 0.83 to 0.97 except for Westin and Ramada. Sheraton is the only first mover. Home countries include the U.S., France and Germany. All the chains are luxury chains except for Ramada which is midpriced. The basis of characteristic similarity lies in the fact that this appears to be a cluster of American and European multinational luxury chains, which for the most part consider intemational operations a significant part of the firm. 77 Mimetic isomorphism does not explain the source of market similarity in this cluster. Size in the group varies from moderate (14,183 rooms) to large (139,605 rooms). However, the chains are similar in type, are from industrialized Westem nations, and all have experience in many countries. They can be considered competitors, and as such one explanation for the market similarity is that the chains want to keep track of their competitors and so try to locate in similar locations, as multiple point competition would suggest. Outliers: Econolodge and Noahs. What is it about these chains that makes them unique? Noahs is the only Australian chain in 1985. Nothing about Econolodge stands out as being unique. It is interesting, however, that once again both outliers have very limited international experience (in 1 country only). To summarize, besides market similarity, chains in two of the three clusters in 1985 seem to have at least one characteristic in common, namely international experience, nationality, type of hotel, or degree of intemationalization. However, there does not appear to be one characteristic which is found to be common in all clusters, although international experience does appear relatively more dominant. Chain size is not similar within any of the clusters in 1985. 1986 Results The dendogram for 1986 is shown in Figure 3. The characteristics of each cluster are outlined in Table 52. 78 Cluster A: Hospitality and Sunbelt. The previously obtained regression coefficients for each variable appear to be similar in magnitude. The extent to which market similarity is explained by the regression model also appears similar within the group. Size varies from 1,585 to 15,991 rooms. Intemational experience is the same for both ~ 1 country. Degree of intemationalization varies from 0.01 to 0.15. Neither of the chains are first movers. They are both American chains. Type of hotel is unknown. This appears to be a cluster of American chains with very limited intemational experience and little importance for intemational operations. Mimetic isomorphism does not explain the source of market similarity in this cluster. The two chains have completely different sizes. Without knowing the type of hotels each chain has, it is hard to propose that these two chains are direct competitors, even though they are from the same nation and have the same intemational experience. Cluster B: Four Seasons, Nikko, Regent Intemational, and Tai. The previously obtained regression coefficients within the group for each variable appear to be similar in magnitude. Size varies from 4,884 to 6,913 rooms. Intemational experience varies from 2 to 10 countries. Degree of intemationalization varies from 0.44 to 1.0. Four Seasons and Regent Intemational are first movers. Home countries include Canada, Japan, and India. Type of hotel is unknown for Nikko. The rest of the chains are luxury chains. This appears to be a cluster of fairly small, luxury chains. Mimetic isomorphism somewhat explains the similarity in this cluster. The chains are all of approximately similar sizes. The chains are of the same type, but are from very different home nations. It can be argued that although they are from different home 79 nations, they are competing for similar target markets, and thus are direct competitors, which explains why they might want to keep track of their competitors and take advantage of economies of agglomeration (Weber, 1929). Cluster C: Peninsula, Merlin, Ming and Prince. The previously obtained regression coefficients within the group for each variable appear to be similar in magnitude. The extent to which market similarity is explained by the regression model also appears similar within the group. Size varies from 4,535 to 10,928 rooms. Intemational experience is identical in the group in 3 countries. Degree of intemationalization varies from 0.09 to 0.59. Peninsula is the only non-first mover. Home countries include Hong Kong, Malaysia and Japan. Type of hotel is unknown. This appears to be a cluster of fairly small. Pacific Rim chains with identical limited intemational experience. Mimetic isomorphism explains the similarity in this cluster. The chains are all fairly small. Since information about type of hotel is unavailable, it is hard to assess whether these chains are really key competitors. Cluster D: Comfort, Caledonian, Commonwealth and Thistle. The regression coefficients within the group for each variable appear to be similar in magnitude. Size varies from 1,957 to 11,776 rooms. Intemational experience varies from 1 to 6 countries. Degree of intemationalization varies from 0.14 to 0.62. Comfort is the only first mover. Home countries include the U.K. and Canada. Type of hotel is unknown for all except Comfort, which is mid-priced. This appears to be a cluster of British and Canadian chains with relatively limited intemational experience. 80 Mimetic isomorphism explains the similarity in this cluster. The chains are all fairiy small. Since information about type of hotel is unavailable, it is hard to assess whether the chains should be considered key rivals. Cluster E: Accor. Rodeway. Howard Johnson, Friendship and Travelodge. The regression coefficients within the group for each variable appear to be similar in magnitude. The extent to which market similarity is explained by the regression model also appears similar within the group. Size varies from 3,340 to 57,522 rooms. Intemational experience is in 2 countries or less. Degree of intemationalization varies from 0.01 to 0.09. Rodeway and Howard Johnson are the only first movers. Home country is the U.S.. Type of hotel is luxury-budget for all the chains. This appears to be a cluster of American, luxury-budget chains with limited intemational experience and which place little importance on intemational operations. Mimetic isomorphism does not explain the similarity in this cluster. Size in the group varies from small (3,340 rooms) to moderate ( 57,522 rooms). However, these chains are of the same type, from the same home nation and even have the same amount of intemational experience. They can be considered direct competitors, locating in similar cities to keep track of each other, as multiple point competition would suggest. Cluster F: Ramada. Hyatt Intemational. Le Meridien, Hilton Intemational. Intercontinental, Sheraton. Golden Tulip, SRS, BTH, Quality, Frantel, Novotel. Sofitel. Holiday Inn, and Tmsthouse. The regression coefficients within the group for each variable appear to be similar in magnitude. The extent to which market similarity is explained by the regression model appears to separate the cluster into two subgroups, 81 which interestingly enough shows up in the dendogram too. Size varies from 7,613 to 314,909 rooms. Intemational experience varies from 9 to 63 countries. Degree of intemationalization varies from 0.15 to 0.94. Holiday Inn is the only non-first mover. Home countries include the U.S., France, Netheriands, Germany, and the U.K.. Type of hotel is unknown for BTH, Frantel and Tmsthouse. Ramada, Quality and Holiday are mid-priced hotels. The rest of the chains are luxury chains. The basis of characteristic similarity lies in the fact that this appears to be a cluster of multinational, Westem, luxury chains. It is not surprising to see most of the chains are first movers given their high intemational experience. Mimetic isomorphism does not explain the similarity in this cluster. Size in the group varies widely. However, these chains are mostly of the same type, are from Westem countries, and have the same amount of intemational experience. They can be considered direct competitors, locating in similar cities to keep track of each other as multiple point competition would suggest. Cluster G: Jack Tar, Dorint, IBIS, Best Western, Westours, Clarion, Horizon. Grand Champions, Radisson, Rank, Super 8, and Welcom. The regression coefficients within the group for each variable are similar in magnitude. There is similarity in the extent to which market similarity is explained by the regression model. The source of similarity in this cluster is not immediately obvious. There appears to be variation on each of the characteristics. Size varies from 974 to 242,895 rooms. Intemational experience varies from 1 to 29 countries. Degree of intemationalization varies greatly from 0.001 to 1.0. Jack Tar, Best Westem, Clarion, Horizon and Grand Champions are 82 the only first movers. Home countries include the U.S., Germany, the U.K. and India. Type of hotel is known only for the following: Super 8 is an economy chain; Best Westem is a luxury-budget chain; Radisson is mid-priced; and Jack Tar and Clarion are luxury chains. Mimetic isomorphism does not explain the source of market similarity in this cluster. Size in the group varies widely. The chains are not the same type of hotel and do not even place the same importance on intemational operations. It would be hard to make a case for all chains in this cluster to be direct competitors. Outliers: Swissotel, Econolodge. Days Inn and York. What is it about these chains that makes them unique? Swissotel in the only Swiss chain in 1986. Nothing else stands out as being unique. It is interesting, however, that once again the outliers have very limited intemational experience (in 1 country only). To summarize, besides market similarity, chains in 1986 seem to have at least one characteristic in common, namely international experience, nationality, type of hotel, size or degree of intemationalization. However, there does not appear to be one characteristic which is be common in all clusters, although intemational experience does appear relatively more dominant. Size is only similar among chains in three of the clusters in 1986. 1987 Results The dendogram for 1987 is shown in Figure 4. The characteristics of each cluster are outlined in Table 53. 83 Cluster A: Grand Champions and Canadian National. The two chains come from similar home nations and both have intemational experience in only one foreign country. Due to missing information, it is hard to further assess why these chains are in one cluster. Cluster B: Ramada. Hyatt Intemational, Le Meridien, Hilton, Intercontinental, Sheraton, Golden Tulip, and SRS. The previously obtained regression coefficients within the group for each variable are similar in magnitude. There is similarity in the extent to which market similarity is explained by the regression model. Size varies from 22,077 to 143,557 rooms. Intemational experience varies from 3 to 63 countries, though most of the chains have experience in over 20 countries. Degree of intemationalization varies from O.lto 0.92. Hilton is the only non-first mover. Home countries include the U.S., France, Netherlands and Germany. Ramada is a mid-priced chain. The rest of the chains are luxury chains. The basis of characteristic similarity lies in the fact that this appears to mostly be a group of large, Westem, multinational, luxury chains. It is not surprising to see most of the chains are first movers given their high international experience. Mimetic isomorphism somewhat explains the similarity in this cluster. All the chains are large in size, though there is variation within the group. These chains are mostly of the same type, are from Westem countries, and almost all have a large amount of intemational experience. They can be considered direct competitors, locating in similar cities to keep track of each other, as multiple point competition would suggest, and perhaps also to take advantage of economies of agglomeration (Weber, 1929). 84 Cluster C: Econolodge and Park. The regression coefficients within the group for each variable are similar in magnitude. There is similarity in the extent to which market similarity is explained by the regression model. Size varies from 4,447 to 31,203 rooms. Intemational experience is identical in 1 country. Degree of intemationalization varies from 0.04 to 0.2. Neither of the chains are first movers. Home country is the U.S.. Type of hotel for Econolodge is economy; for Park is unknown. The basis of characteristic similarity lies in the fact that this appears to be a pair of American chains with limited intemational experience. Mimetic isomorphism does not explain the similarity in this cluster. Size in the group varies widely. Since information about type of hotel is unavailable, it is hard to assess whether the chains are key rivals. Cluster D: Accor, Churchman and VMS. The regression coefficients within the group for each variable are similar in magnitude. There is similarity in the extent to which market similarity is explained by the regression model. Size varies from 4,785 to 19,381 rooms. Intemational experience varies from 1 to 3 countries. Degree of intemationalization varies from 0.07 - 0.29. None of the chains are first movers. Home country is the U.S.. Accor is a luxury-budget hotel. VMS has a wide range of hotel types and Churchman is of unknown type. The basis of characteristic similarity lies in the fact that this appears to be a group of American chains with limited intemational experience. Mimetic isomorphism does not explain the similarity in this cluster. Size and type of hotel in the group vary widely. 85 Cluster E: Hospitality and Sunbelt. The regression coefficients within the group for each variable are similar in magnitude. There is similarity in the extent to which market similarity is explained by the regression model. Size varies from 1,250 to 16,192 rooms. Intemational experience is identical in 1 country. Degree of intemationalization varies from 0.01 to 0.2. None of the chains are first movers. Home country is the U.S.. Type of hotel is unknown. The basis of characteristic similarity lies in the fact that this appears to be a pair of American chains with limited intemational experience. Mimetic isomorphism does not explain the similarity in this cluster. Size in the group varies widely. Since information about type of hotel is unavailable, it is hard to assess whether the chains are key rivals. Cluster F: Americana and Radisson. The regression coefficients within the group for each variable are similar in magnitude. There is similarity in the extent to which market similarity is explained by the regression model. International experience varies from 2 to 3 countries. None of the chains are first movers. Home country is the U.S.. Type of hotel for Radisson is mid-priced and for Americana is unknown. This appears to be a pair of American chains with limited international experience. Mimetic isomorphism cannot be assessed in this cluster since size information is missing for Americana. Since information about type of hotel is unavailable, it is hard to assess whether the chains are key rivals. Cluster G: Pratt. Howard Johnson. Quality and Travelodge. The regression coefficients within the group for each variable are similar in magnitude. There is similarity in the extent to which market similarity is explained by the regression model. 86 Size varies from 11,838 to 89,784 rooms. Intemational experience varies from 2 to 8 countries. Degree of intemationalization varies from 0.02 to 0.7. Pratt and Quality are first movers. Home country is the U.S.. Type of hotel is unknown for Pratt; is luxurybudget for Howard Johnson and Travelodge and is mid-priced for Quality. The basis of characteristic similarity lies in the fact that this appears to be a group of American chains with little intemational experience. Mimetic isomorphism does not explain the similarity in this cluster. Size and type of hotel in the group vary widely. Cluster H: BTH. Hilton International, Dorint, IBIS, Southern Pacific. Scandic, Sofitel, Frantel, Novotel, Holiday Inn, Tmsthouse, Connor Jacobson, Best Westem, Rank, Clarion and Westours. The regression coefficients within the group for each variable are similar in magnitude. The source of similarity in this cluster is not immediately obvious. There appears to be variation on each of the characteristics. Size varies from 381 to 315,648 rooms. International experience varies from 1 to 51 countries. Degree of internationalization varies from 0.004 to 1.0. Non-first movers are Dorint, Southem Pacific, Connor Jacobson, Rank, Clarion and Westours. Home countries include the U.S., Germany, Australia, Sweden, France, the U.K. and Guatemala. Type of hotel is unknown except for the following: Best Westem is a luxury-budget chain; Holiday is mid-priced; and Hilton International, Sofitel, Novotel and Clarion are luxury chains. Mimetic isomorphism does not explain the source of market similarity in this cluster. Size and type of hotel in the group vary widely. Outliers: Canadian Pacific. Hungar. Jolly of Italy, Prince and Noahs. What is it about these chains that makes them unique? Hungar and Noahs are respectively the only 87 chain from their home country for the year. Nothing else stands out as being unique. It is interesting, however, that once again the outliers have very limited intemational experience (in 3 or less countries). To summarize, besides market similarity, chains in 1987 seem to have at least one characteristic in common, namely intemational experience, nationality, or type of hotel. However, there does not appear to be one characteristic which is found to be common in all clusters, although intemational experience does appear relatively more dominant. Size is only similar among chains in one of the clusters in 1987. 1988 Results The dendogram for 1988 is shown in Figure 5. The characteristics of each cluster are outlined in Table 54. Cluster A: Hyatt and Servico. The previously obtained regression coefficients within the group for each variable are similar in magnitude. There is similarity in the extent to which market similarity is explained by the regression model. Size varies from 15,267 to 51,961 rooms. International experience varies between 1 and 2 countries. Degree of intemationalization varies from 0.01 to 0.05. Neither of the chains are first movers. Home country is the U.S.. Type of hotel is unknown for Servico. Hyatt is a luxury chain. The basis of characteristic similarity lies in the fact that this appears to be a pair of American chains with limited intemational experience. Mimetic isomorphism does not explain the similarity in this cluster. Size in the group varies widely. Since 88 information about type of hotel is incomplete, it is hard to assess whether the chains are key rivals. Cluster B: Compri, Clarion, Days Inn. Friendship. Accor. Churchman, and VMS. The regression coefficients within the group for each variable are similar in magnitude. There is similarity in the extent to which market similarity is explained by the regression model. Size varies from 5,251 to 88,904 rooms. Intemational experience varies between 1 and 3 countries. Degree of intemationalization varies from 0.005 to 0.26. Churchman is the only first mover. Home country is the U.S.. Type of hotel is unknown for Compri, Friendship and Churchman. Clarion is a luxury chain. Days and Accor are luxury-budget chains, and VMS has a wide range of hotels. The basis of characteristic similarity lies in the fact that this appears to be a group of American chains with limited intemational experience. Mimetic isomorphism does not explain the source of market similarity in this cluster. Size and type of hotel in the group vary widely. Cluster C: Mercure, Marriott, Crest, Penta, Preferred and Sonesta. The regression coefficients within the group for each variable are similar in magnitude. Size varies from 3,500 to 71,720 rooms. Intemational experience varies between 3 and 9 countries. Degree of intemationalization varies from 0.05 to 0.86. There are no first movers in the cluster. Home countries include the U.S., France and the U.K.. Type of hotel is unknown for Mercure and Penta. The rest of the chains are luxury chains. The basis of characteristic similarity lies in the fact that this appears to be a group of Westem, luxury chains with moderate intemational experience. 89 Mimetic isomorphism does not explain the source of market similarity in this cluster. Size in the group varies widely. These chains are mostly of the same type, are from Westem countries, and almost all have a moderate amount of intemational experience. They can be considered direct competitors, locating in similar cities to keep track of each other, as multiple point competition would suggest. Cluster D: Commonwealth. Caledonian, Embassy and Thistle. The regression coefficients within the group for each variable are similar in magnitude. There is similarity in the extent to which market similarity is explained by the regression model. Size varies from 1,927 to 11,437 rooms. International experience varies between 1 and 7 countries. Degree of internationalization varies from 0.12 to 0.61. Embassy is the only first mover in the cluster. Home countries include Canada and the U.K.. Type of hotel is unknown for all chains except Embassy, which is a luxury chain. The basis of characteristic similarity lies in the fact that this appears to be a group of British and Canadian chains, most with limited international experience. Mimetic isomorphism somewhat explains the source of market similarity in this cluster. Size in the group varies, but not too widely. Since information about type of hotel is incomplete, it is hard to assess whether the chains are key rivals. Cluster E: Budget. Forte. BTH. IBIS, Scandic. The regression coefficients within the group for each variable are similar in magnitude. There is similarity in the extent to which market similarity is explained by the regression model. Size varies from 7,805 to 32,522 rooms. Intemational experience varies between 1 and 10 countries. Degree of intemationalization varies from 0.01 to 0.94. BTH and Scandic are first movers. Home 90 countries include the U.S. and Sweden. Type of hotel is unknown for all chains except Budget, which is a luxury-budget chain. The basis of characteristic similarity lies in the fact that this appears to be a group of Western chains with moderate intemational experience. Mimetic isomorphism does not explain the source of market similarity in this cluster. Size in the group varies widely. Since information about type of hotel is incomplete, it is hard to assess whether the chains are key rivals. Cluster F: Ramada, Hyatt International, Hilton International, Intercontinental, Sheraton, Golden Tulip, SRS, Le Meridien, Swiss Intemational, Sofitel, Holiday Inn, Frantel, Novotel and Tmsthouse. The regression coefficients within the group for each variable are similar in magnitude. There is similarity in the extent to which market similarity is explained by the regression model. Size varies from 22,077 to 318,574 rooms, with the exception of Hyatt International, Swiss International and Sofitel. Intemational experience varies between 18 and 63 countries. Degree of intemationalization varies from 0.04 to 1.0. First movers are Ramada, Sheraton, Golden Tulip, SRS, Swiss Intemational, Holiday Inn and Tmsthouse. Home countries include the U.S., Netheriands, Germany, France, Switzeriand, and the UK. Type of hotel is unknown for Swiss Intemational, Frantel and Tmsthouse. All the rest are luxury chains except Ramada and Holiday, which are mid-priced. The basis of characteristic similarity lies in the fact that this appears to be mostly a group of large, Westem, multinational, luxury chains. It is not surprising to see some of the chains are firstmovers given their high intemational experience. 91 Mimetic isomorphism somewhat explains the similarity in this cluster. All the chains are large in size, though there is variation within the group. These chains are mostly of the same type, are from Westem countries, and almost all have a large amount of intemational experience. They can be considered direct competitors, locating in similar cities to keep track of each other, as multiple point competition would suggest. Cluster G: Jack Tar. Rank. Best Western. Continental. Aircoa. Steriing. Westours. Connor Jacobson and York. The regression coefficients within the group for each variable are similar in magnitude. There is similarity in the extent to which market similarity is explained by the regression model. The source of similarity in this cluster is not immediately obvious. There appears to be variation on each of the characteristics. Size varies from 381 to 264,338 rooms. Intemational experience varies between 1 and 32 countries, although all are below 5 except for Best Western. Degree of intemationalization varies from 0.001 to 1.0. First movers are Jack Tar, Rank, Best Westem and Sterling. Home countries include the U.S., the U.K., Guatemala and Canada. Type of hotel is unknown for all chains except Best western (luxury-budget) and Jack Tar (luxury). This appears to be a group of chains with similar intemational experience for the most part. Mimetic isomorphism does not explain the source of market similarity in this cluster. Size in the group varies widely. Outliers: Caesar Park, Sol. Atina. Hudson, HUSA, Hungar, Riande and Viscount. What is it about these chains that makes them unique? Caesar Park is the only Brazilian chain in 1988, Hungar is the only Hungarian chain in 1988 and Riande is the only chain from Panama in 1988. Nothing else stands out as being unique. It is interesting, 92 however, that once again the outliers have very limited intemational experience (in 1 country only). To summarize, besides market similarity, chains in 1988 seem to have at least one characteristic in common, namely intemational experience, nationality, type of hotel, or size. However, there does not appear to be one characteristic which is common in all clusters, although intemational experience does appear relatively more dominant. Size is only similar among chains in two of the clusters in 1988. 1989 Results The dendogram for 1989 is shown in Figure 6. The characteristics of each cluster are outlined in Table 55. Cluster A: Delta and Riande. The regression coefficients within the group for each variable are similar in magnitude. Size varies from 1,145 to 5,778 rooms. Intemational experience is identical in 1 country. Degree of intemationalization varies from 0.13 to 0.46. There are no first movers. Home countries include the U.S., and Panama. Type of hotel is unknown. The basis of characteristic similarity lies in the fact that this appears to be a cluster of small chains with very limited intemational experience. Mimetic isomorphism gives one explanation for the source of market similarity in this cluster. Both chains are small in size. Since information about type of hotel is incomplete, it is hard to assess whether the chains are key rivals. Cluster B: Compri. Clarion. Days Inn, Howard Johnson. Churchman, Continental, Prince and VMS. The regression coefficients within the group for each variable are similar in magnitude. There is similarity in the extent to which market 93 similarity is explained by the regression model. Size varies from 4,261 to 116,543 rooms. Intemational experience varies between 1 and 3 countries. Degree of intemationalization varies from 0.009 to 0.16. Continental is the only first mover. Home countries include the U.S. and Japan. Type of hotel is unknown except for Days Inn and Howard Johnson (both luxury-budget). Clarion (luxury) and VMS (wide range). The basis of characteristic similarity lies in the fact that this appears to be a group of American chains with limited intemational experience. Mimetic isomorphism does not explain the source of market similarity in this cluster. Size and type of hotel in the group vary widely. Cluster C: Movenpick, HUSA Intemational and Oberoi. The regression coefficients within the group for each variable are similar in magnitude. The source of similarity in this cluster is not immediately obvious. There appears to be variation on each of the characteristics. Size varies from 4,343 to 17,581 rooms. Intemational experience varies between 1 and 8 countries. Degree of intemationalization varies from 0.01 to 0.65. Oberoi is the only first mover. Home countries include Switzeriand, the U.S., and India. Type of hotel is unknown except for Movenpick which is a mid-priced chain. Mimetic isomorphism somewhat explains the source of market similarity in this cluster. Size in the group varies, but not too widely. Since information about type of hotel is incomplete, it is hard to assess whether the chains are key rivals. Cluster D: Jack Tar, Rank, Best Westem. Steriing. Savoy and Hawthome. The regression coefficients within the group for each variable are similar in magnitude. Size 94 varies from 908 to 264,338 rooms, but they all below 4,000 rooms except for Best Westem. Intemational experience varies between 1 and 30 countries, but is below 5 countries for all chains except for Best Western . Degree of internationalization varies from 0.06 to 1.0. First movers are Best Westem, Savoy and Hawthome. Home countries include the U.S. and the U.K.. Type of hotel is unknown for all chains except Best Westem (luxury-budget) and Jack Tar (luxury). This appears to be a group of mostly small, American chains with limited intemational experience. Mimetic isomorphism does not fully explain the source of market similarity in this cluster. Size in the group varies, however, with the exception of Best Westem, they all appear small. Since information about type of hotel is incomplete, it is hard to assess whether the chains are key rivals. Cluster E: Hyatt International, Le Meridien, Hilton International, InterContinental. Ramada, Sheraton, Golden Tulip, SRS, Swiss International, Sofitel, Consort, BTH. IBIS, Tmsthouse, Scandic, Holiday Inn, Frantel, Novotel and Tmsthouse PLC. The regression coefficients within the group for each variable are similar in magnitude. There is similarity in the extent to which market similarity is explained by the regression model. Size varies from 8,120 to 318,574 rooms. International experience varies between 4 and 61 countries, although it is above 25 countries for almost all chains. Degree of intemationalization varies from 0.07 to 1.0. First movers are Le Meridien, Ramada, Sheraton, Golden Tulip, SRS, Sofitel, Consort, BTH, Frantel and Tmsthouse PLC. Home countries include the U.S., France, Netherlands, Germany, Switzerland, Sweden and the U.K.. Type of hotel is unknown except for Hyatt International, Le Meridien, Hilton 95 Intemational, Intercontinental, Sheraton, Golden Tulip, SRS, Sofitel and Novotel ( all luxury chains) and Ramada and Holiday (both mid-priced chains). The basis of characteristic similarity lies in the fact that this appears to be a group of Westem multinational, luxury chains. Mimetic isomorphism somewhat explains the similarity in this cluster. All the chains are large in size, though there is variation within the group. These chains are mostly of the same type, are from Westem countries, and almost all have a large amount of intemational experience. They can be considered direct competitors, locating in similar cities to keep track of each other, as multiple point competition would suggest. Outliers: Caesar Park, Portman, Clement Chen, Brook and HUSA. What is it about these chains that makes them unique? Caesar Park is the only Brazilian chain in this year. Nothing else stands out as being unique. It is interesting, however, that once again the outliers have very limited intemational experience (in 1 country only). To summarize, besides market similarity, chains in 1989 seem to have at least one characteristic in common, namely international experience, nationality, type of hotel, or size. However, there does not appear to be one characteristic which is common in all clusters, although intemational experience does appear relatively more dominant. All clusters have at least one characteristic in common except for cluster C. Size is similar in three of the clusters in 1989. 96 1990 Results The dendogram for 1990 is shown in Figure 7. The characteristics of each cluster are outlined in Table 56. Cluster A: Dorint and Sonesta. The regression coefficients within the group for each variable are similar in magnitude. There is similarity in the extent to which market similarity is explained by the regression model. Size varies from 3,990 to 4,994 rooms. International experience varies between 4 and 5 countries. Degree of intemationalization varies from 0.2 to 0.4. There are no first movers. Home countries include the U.S. and Germany. Type of hotel is unknown except for Sonesta which is a luxury chain. The basis of characteristic similarity lies in the fact that this appears to be a pair of fairly small chains with limited intemational experience. Mimetic isomorphism gives one explanation for the source of market similarity in this cluster. Both chains are small in size. Since information about type of hotel is incomplete, it is hard to assess whether the chains are key rivals. Cluster B: Omni and Regal. The regression coefficients within the group for each variable are similar in magnitude. There is similarity in the extent to which market similarity is explained by the regression model. Size varies from 17,387 to 39,246 rooms. Intemational experience varies between 2 and 3 countries. Degree of intemationalization varies from 0.07 to 0.84. There are no first movers. Home country is the U.S.. Type of hotel is unknown. The basis of characteristic similarity lies in the fact that this appears to be a pair of American chains with limited intemational experience. 97 Mimetic isomorphism does not explain the source of market similarity in this cluster. Both chains are different in size. Since information about type of hotel is incomplete, it is hard to assess whether the chains are key rivals. Cluster C: Mandarin, Otani. and Shangri-la. The regression coefficients within the group for each variable are similar in magnitude. There is similarity in the extent to which market similarity is explained by the regression model. Size varies from 3,894 to 13,500 rooms. Intemational experience varies between 3 and 6 countries. Degree of intemationalization varies from 0.21 to 0.64 There are no first movers. Home countries are Hong Kong and Japan. Type of hotel is unknown for Otani. The other two chains are luxury chains. The basis of characteristic similarity lies in the fact that this appears to be a trio of Pacific Rim chains. Mimetic isomorphism gives one explanation for the source of market similarity in this cluster. The chains are moderate in size. Since complete information about type of hotel is unavailable, it is hard to assess whether the chains are key rivals. However, it does appear that the chains are of a similar type, and thus, might be considered competitors, in which case it would make sense that they would want to keep an eye on their competitors by locating in similar cities. Cluster D: Great Inns, Cunard. Rock and Taj. The regression coefficients within the group for each variable are similar in magnitude. There is similarity in the extent to which market similarity is explained by the regression model. Size varies from 1,044 to 3,378 rooms. Intemational experience varies between 2 and 5 countries. Degree of intemationalization varies from 0.03 to 0.45 There are no first movers. Home countries 98 are the U.S. and India. Type of hotel is unknown, except for Taj, which is a luxury chain. The basis of characteristic similarity lies in the fact that this appears to be a group of mostly small, American chains with limited intemational experience. Mimetic isomorphism gives one explanation for the source of market similarity in this cluster. The chains are small in size. Since complete information about type of hotel is unavailable, it is hard to assess whether the chains are key rivals. Cluster E: Horizon and Rank. The regression coefficients within the group for each variable are similar in magnitude. There is similarity in the extent to which market similarity is explained by the regression model. Size varies from 3,989 to 4,047 rooms. Intemational experience is in 1 country. Degree of intemationalization varies from 0.03 to 0.44 There are no first movers. Home countries are the U.S. and the U.K.. Type of hotel is unknown. The basis of characteristic similarity lies in the fact that this appears to be a group of small, Westem chains with limited international experience. Mimetic isomorphism gives one explanation for the source of market similarity in this cluster. The chains are small in size. Since complete information about type of hotel is unavailable, it is hard to assess whether the chains are key rivals. Cluster F: Frantel, IBIS, Scandic, BTH, Consort, Quality, Tmsthouse, Best Westem and VMS. The regression coefficients within the group for each variable are similar in magnitude. There is similarity in the extent to which market similarity is explained by the regression model. Size varies from 908 to 258,586 rooms. Intemational experience varies between 4 and 31 countries. Degree of intemationalization varies from 0.08 to 1.0. First movers are IBIS, Scandic, Consort and Best Westem. Home countries 99 are France, Sweden, and the U.S.. Type of hotel is unknown except for Quality (midpriced). Best Westem (luxury-budget) and VMS (wide range). The basis of characteristic similarity lies in the fact that this appears to be a group of Western chains. Mimetic isomorphism does not explain for the source of market similarity in this cluster. The chains vary in size and type of hotel. Cluster G: Jack Tar. Sofitel. Kuwait, and Westcoast. The regression coefficients within the group for each variable are similar in magnitude. There is similarity in the extent to which market similarity is explained by the regression model. Size varies from 1,436 to 10,286 rooms. Intemational experience varies between 1 and 18 countries. Degree of intemationalization varies from 0.2 to 1.0. Kuwait is the only first mover. Home countries include France, the U.S., and Kuwait. Type of hotel is unknown except for Jack Tar and Sofitel ( both luxury chains). The basis of characteristic similarity lies in the fact that this appears to be a group of small chains. Mimetic isomorphism does explain the source of market similarity in this cluster. The chains are small in size. Since complete information about type of hotel is unavailable, it is hard to assess whether the chains are key rivals. Cluster H: Hyatt Intemational, Le Meridien, Ramada, Hilton Intemational. Intercontinental, Sheraton, Holiday Inn, Golden Tulip, SRS and Swiss Intemational. The regression coefficients within the group for each variable appear to be similar in sign and magnitude. The extent to which market similarity is explained by the regression model also appears similar within the group. This appears to be a cluster of multinational 100 American and European luxury chains, which for the most part consider intemational operations a significant part of the firm. Mimetic isomorphism does not explain the source of market similarity in this cluster. Size in the group varies from moderate (7,102 rooms) to large (314,261 rooms). The chains are similar in type (luxury), are from industrialized Westem nations (the US, France, Netherlands, Germany and Switzerland) and all have experience in many countries (18 to 67 countries). They can be considered competitors, and as such one explanation for the market profile similarity is that the chains want to keep track of their competitors and so try to locate in similar locations, as multiple point competition would suggest. Cluster I: Rydges, Interwest and Southem Pacific. The regression coefficients within the group for each variable appear to be similar in sign and magnitude. The extent to which market similarity is explained by the regression model also appears similar within the group. This appears to be a cluster of small (under 7,000 rooms), Australian chains. Type of hotel is unknown. Mimetic isomorphism gives one explanation for the source of market similarity in this cluster. The chains are small in size. The common home nation may make these chains more likely to be direct competitors, assuming they have similar types of hotels. Outliers: Portman. Tmsthouse PLC and Prince. What is it about these chains that makes them unique? Nothing stands out as being unique about these chains. It is interesting, however, that once again some outliers have very limited intemational 101 experience (in 1 or 2 countries only). However, this time, one outlier (Tmsthouse PLC) has significant intemational experience (in 26 countries). To summarize, besides market similarity, chains in 1990 seem to have at least one characteristic in common, namely international experience, nationality, type of hotel, or size. However, there does not appear to be one characteristic which is found to be common in all clusters, although intemational experience does appear relatively more dominant. 1991 Results The dendogram for 1991 is shown in Figure 8. The characteristics of each cluster are outlined in Table 57. Cluster A: Budget and Hospitality Intemational. The regression coefficients within the group for each variable appear to be similar in sign and magnitude. The extent to which market similarity is explained by the regression model also appears similar within the group. Size varies from 7,198 to 19,149 rooms. Intemational experience is in 1 country. Degree of intemationalization is 0.01. There are no first movers. Home country is the U.S.. Type of hotel is unknown for Hospitality Intemational. Budget is a luxury-budget chain. The basis of characteristic similarity lies in the fact that this appears to be a pair of American chains with little intemational experience and little emphasis placed on intemational operations. Mimetic isomorphism does not explain for the source of market similarity in this cluster. The chains are varied in size. Since complete 102 information about type of hotel is unavailable, it is hard to assess whether the chains are key rivals. Cluster B: Hotel Management. Ming and Sunbelt. The regression coefficients within the group for each variable appear to be similar in sign and magnitude. The extent to which market similarity is explained by the regression model also appears similar within the group. Size varies from 635 to 1,411 rooms. International experience is in 1 country. Degree of internationalization varies from 0.2 to 0.5. There are no first movers. Home countries are the U.S. and Malaysia. Type of hotel is unknown for Ming and Sunbelt while Hotel Management has a wide range of hotel types. The basis of characteristic similarity lies in the fact that this appears to be a group of small chains with little intemational experience. Mimetic isomorphism gives one explanation for the source of market similarity in this cluster. The chains are small in size. Since complete information about type of hotel is unavailable, it is hard to assess whether the chains are key rivals. Cluster C: Delta and Riande. The regression coefficients within the group for each variable are similar in magnitude. This appears to be a cluster of small chains (under 6,000 rooms) with very limited international experience (in 1 country). Home nations include the U.S. and Panama. Type of hotel is unknown. Mimetic isomorphism gives one explanation for the source of market similarity in this cluster. Both chains are small in size. Since complete information about type of hotel is unavailable, it is hard to assess whether the chains are key rivals. 103 Cluster D: Embassy. Thistle and Swallow. Due to lack of information, all that can be said about this group of chains is that they are British firms with limited intemational experience (1 or 2 countries). There are no firstmovers. Embassy is a luxury chain. Type of hotel is unknown for the other chains. Since complete information about type of hotel and size is unavailable, it is hard to assess whether the chains are key rivals or whether mimetic isomorphism can explain the cluster membership. Cluster E: Super 8. Tmsthouse and Westcoast. The regression coefficients within the group for each variable appear to be similar in sign and magnitude. The extent to which market similarity is explained by the regression model also appears similar within the group. This appears to be a group of American chains with little intemational experience (1 to 3 countries). There are no firstmovers. Super 8 is an economy chain. Type of hotel is unknown for the other chains. Mimetic isomorphism does not explain the source of market similarity in this cluster. Size in the group varies greatly (3,625 to 48,360 rooms). Since complete information about type of hotel is unavailable, it is hard to assess whether the chains are key rivals. Cluster F: Stouffer, Days Inn, Howard Johnson, Radisson, and Westin. The regression coefficients within the group for each variable appear to be similar in sign and magnitude. The extent to which market similarity is explained by the regression model also appears similar within the group. This appears to be a group of American chains with moderate intemational experience (2 to 10 countries). Stouffer and Westin are 104 luxury chains. Days Inn and Howard Johnson are luxury-budget chains. Radisson is a mid-priced chain. Mimetic isomorphism does not explain the source of market similarity in this cluster. Size in the group varies greatly (16, 836 to 146,787 rooms). The chains vary enough in type of hotel to make it hard to establish why these chains might be direct competitors. Cluster G: Grand Collection. Marriott, Penta, and Preferred. The regression coefficients within the group for each variable appear to be similar in magnitude. This group is made up of American and British chains with moderate intemational experience (8 to 20 countries). Marriott and Preferred are luxury chains. Type of hotel is unknown for the other chains. Mimetic isomorphism does not explain the source of market similarity in this cluster. Size in the group varies from 7,353 to 89,126 rooms. Since complete information about type of hotel is unavailable, it is hard to assess whether the chains are key rivals. Cluster H: Choice, BTH, Consort. The regression coefficients within the group for each variable appear to be similar in magnitude. Besides all being American chains, it is hard to establish the basis of similarity in this group. Type of hotel is unknown except for Choice which has a wide range of hotel types. Mimetic isomorphism does not explain the source of market similarity in this cluster. Size in the group varies from 2,778 to 235,340 rooms. Since complete 105 information about type of hotel is unavailable, it is hard to assess whether the chains are key rivals. Cluster I: Hyatt International, Le Meridien, Sofitel, IBIS, Holiday Inn. Hilton Intemational. Sheraton, SRS. Scandic, Frantel and Tmsthouse PLC. The regression coefficients within the group for each variable appear to be similar in sign and magnitude. The extent to which market similarity is explained by the regression model also appears similar within the group. International experience varies between 9 and 55 countries, although almost have hotels in over 24 countries. Type of hotel is unknown for IBIS, Scandic, Frantel and Tmsthouse PLC. The rest are luxury chains, except for Holiday, which is mid-priced. This appears to be a cluster of mostly multinational American and European luxury chains. Mimetic isomorphism does not explain the source of market similarity in this cluster. Size in the group varies from moderate (10,286 rooms) to large (319,135 rooms). The chains are mostly similar in type, are from industrialized Western nations, and almost all have experience in many countries. They can be considered competitors, and as such one explanation for the market profile similarity is that the chains want to keep track of their competitors and so try to locate in similar locations, as multiple point competition would suggest. Cluster J: Connor Jacobson. Best Western. Raintree. J & B and York. The regression coefficients within the group for each variable appear to be similar in sign and magnitude. The extent to which market similarity is explained by the regression model also appears similar within the group. This appears to be a cluster of small chains(under 106 3,300 rooms) with limited intemational experience (1 to 3 countries), with the exception of Best Westem (265,285 rooms and 31 countries). Type of hotel is unknown except for Best Westem (luxury-budget). With the exception of Best Westem (265,285 rooms), mimetic isomorphism gives one explanation for the source of market similarity in this cluster. The rest of the chains are small in size (under 3,300 rooms). Since complete information about type of hotel is unavailable, it is hard to assess whether the chains are key rivals. Outliers - Treadwav, HUSA, HIDC and Clement Chen. What is it about these chains that makes them unique? Nothing stands out as being unique. It is interesting, however, that once again the outliers have very limited intemational experience (in 1 country only). To summarize, besides market similarity, chains in 1991 seem to have at least one characteristic in common, namely international experience, nationality, type of hotel, or size. However, there does not appear to be one characteristic which is found to be common in all clusters, although intemational experience does appear relatively more dominant. Size is similar in three of the ten clusters in 1991. 1992 Results The dendogram for 1992 is shown in Figure 9. The characteristics of each cluster are outlined in Table 58. Cluster A: Rihga and Joumevs. The regression coefficients within the group for each variable appear to be similar in magnitude. The extent to which market similarity is 107 explained by the regression model also appears similar within the group. This appears to be a group of chains with little intemational experience (1 or 2 countries). Type of hotel is unknown. Mimetic isomorphism gives one explanation for the source of market similarity in this cluster. Both chains are moderate in size (4,291 to 12,376 rooms). Since complete information about type of hotel is unavailable, it is hard to assess whether the chains are key rivals. Cluster B: Flag and HIDC. The regression coefficients within the group for each variable appear to be similar in magnitude. The extent to which market similarity is explained by the regression model also appears similar within the group. This appears to be a group of small (under 4,000 rooms), American chains with little intemational experience (3 or less countries). Type of hotel is unknown. Mimetic isomorphism gives one explanation for the source of market similarity in this cluster. Both chains are small in size (under 4,000 rooms). Since complete information about type of hotel is unavailable, it is hard to assess whether the chains are key rivals. Cluster C: Interwest and Rydges. The regression coefficients within the group for each variable appear to be similar in sign and magnitude. The extent to which market similarity is explained by the regression model also appears similar within the group. This appears to be a group of srriall (under 5,000 rooms), Australian chains with little intemational experience (in 1 country). Type of hotel is unknown. 108 Mimetic isomorphism gives one explanation for the source of market similarity in this cluster. Both chains are small in size (under 5,000 rooms). Since complete information about type of hotel is unavailable, it is hard to assess whether the chains are key rivals. Cluster D: Accor. Churchman and Durbin. The regression coefficients within the group for each variable appear to be similar in sign and magnitude. The extent to which market similarity is explained by the regression model also appears similar within the group. This appears to be a group of small (under 5,000 rooms), American chains with little intemational experience (in 1 country). Type of hotel is unknown except for Accor (luxury-budget). Mimetic isomorphism gives one explanation for the source of market similarity in this cluster. The chains are small in size (under 5,000 rooms). Since complete information about type of hotel is unavailable, it is hard to assess whether the chains are key rivals. Cluster E: Preferred, Hyatt International, Le Meridien, Frantel, Choice, Hilton Intemational, Intercontinental, Ramada International, Holiday Inn, Sheraton, Golden Tulip and SRS. The regression coefficients within the group for each variable appear to be similar in magnitude. The extent to which market similarity is explained by the regression model also appears similar within the group. Intemational experience varies between 20 and 59 countries. Type of hotel is unknown for Frantel. Choice has a wide range of hotel types. Ramada and Holiday are mid-priced chains. All the other chains are luxury chains. This appears to be a cluster of multinational, luxury chains. 109 Mimetic isomorphism does not explain the source of market similarity in this cluster. Size in the group varies from moderate (12,893 rooms) to large (322,527 rooms). The chains are similar in type (luxury), are from industrialized nations (U.S., France, U.K., Hong Kong, Netherlands and Germany), and have experience in many countries (over 20). They can be considered competitors. One explanation for the market profile similarity is that the chains want to keep track of their competitors and so try to locate in similar locations. Cluster F: Oberoi, Movenpick, and Swiss International. The regression coefficients within the group for each variable appear to be similar in magnitude. It is hard to establish the basis of similarity in this group. Size varies from 6,024 to 11,054 rooms. Intemational experience varies from 7 to 12 countries. Degree of intemationalization is 0.5 to 0.7. There are no first movers. Home countries are India and Switzerland. Type of hotel is unknown except for Movenpick which is mid-priced. Mimetic isomorphism partially explains the source of market similarity in this cluster. Size in the group varies, but not greatly (6,024 to 11,054 rooms). Since complete information about type of hotel is unavailable, it is hard to assess whether the chains are key rivals. Cluster G: Prince. Raintree. Tai International, Dorint, Best Westem and VMS. The regression coefficients within the group for each variable are similar in magnitude. There is similarity in the extent to which market similarity is explained by the regression model. This appears to be a group of chains with limited intemational experience(under 8 countries) except for Best Westem (32 countries). There does not seem to be much else 110 which explains the market similarity. Taj International is a luxury chain. Best Western is a luxury-budget chain and VMS has a wide range of types of hotels. Type of hotel is unknown for the rest of the chains. Mimetic isomorphism does not explain the source of market similarity in this cluster. Size in the group varies greatly (2,973 to 265,385 rooms). Since complete information about type of hotel is unavailable, it is hard to assess whether the chains are key rivals. Cluster H: Southem Pacific. Consort, Inter, Scandic and Westin. The regression coefficients within the group for each variable are similar in magnitude. There is similarity in the extent to which market similarity is explained by the regression model. This appears to be a group of chains with moderate international experience (5 to 12 countries) and moderate size (10,804 to 34,596 rooms). There does not seem to be much else which explains the market similarity. Westin is a luxury chain. Type of hotel is unknown for the rest of the chains. Mimetic isomorphism does not explain the source of market similarity in this cluster. Size in the group varies (10,804 to 34,596 rooms). Since complete information about type of hotel is unavailable, it is hard to assess whether the chains are key rivals. Outliers: Pacific Island. Cunard. Doubletree, Delta and Okura. What is it about these chains that makes them unique? Nothing stands out as being unique. It is interesting, however, that once again the outliers have very limited intemational experience (in 4 or less countries). Ill To summarize, besides market similarity, chains in 1992 seem to have at least one characteristic in common, namely intemational experience, nationality, type of hotel, or size. However, there does not appear to be one characteristic which is found to be common in all clusters, although intemational experience does appear relatively more dominant. Size is similar in four of the eight clusters in 1992. 1993 Results The dendogram for 1993 is shown in Figure 10. The characteristics of each cluster are outlined in Table 59. Cluster A: Friendly, Mount Charlotte and Swallow. The regression coefficients within the group for each variable are similar in magnitude. There is similarity in the extent to which market similarity is explained by the regression model. This appears to be a group of mostly small (4,284 to 14,509 rooms), American and British chains with little intemational experience (under 3). Type of hotel is unknown. Mimetic isomorphism partially explains the source of market similarity in this cluster. Size in the group varies, but not greatly. Since complete information about type of hotel is unavailable, it is hard to assess whether the chains are key rivals. Cluster B: Best Western. Devon and TCC. The regression coefficients within the group for each variable are similar in magnitude. There is similarity in the extent to which market similarity is explained by the regression model. This appears to be a group of American and Canadian chains with varied international experience (1 to 41 112 countries). Best Westem is a luxury-budget chain. Type of hotel is unknown for the other chains. Mimetic isomorphism does not explain the source of market similarity in this cluster. Size in the group varies greatly (970 to 265,385 rooms). Since complete information about type of hotel is unavailable, it is hard to assess whether the chains are key rivals. Cluster C: BTH, Connor Jacobson, Consort, Inter, and Stakis. The regression coefficients within the group for each variable are similar in magnitude. There is similarity in the extent to which market similarity is explained by the regression model. This appears to be a group of mostly small chains (381 to 14,305 rooms) with limited intemational experience (2 to 12 countries). Type of hotel is unknown. With the exception of Consort, mimetic isomorphism gives one explanation for the source of market similarity in this cluster. The rest of the chains are small in size (under 5,000 rooms). Since complete information about type of hotel is unavailable, it is hard to assess whether the chains are key ri\'als. Cluster D: Mandarin, Regent Intemational. Pan Pacific and Shangri-la. The regression coefficients within the group for each variable are similar in magnitude. There is similarity in the extent to which market similarity is explained by the regression model. This appears to be a group of mostly small (3,899 to 10,608 rooms), luxury chains from Hong Kong, with moderate intemational experience (6 to 10 countries). The chains are all luxury chains. 113 Mimetic isomorphism somewhat explains the similarity in this cluster. All the chains are moderate in size (under 11,(X)0 rooms), though there is variation within the group. These chains are of the same type (luxury), are from industrialized countries, and all have a moderate amount of intemational experience (6 to 10 countries). They can be considered direct competitors, locating in similar cities to keep track of each other, as multiple point competition would suggest. Cluster E: Nikko, Marriott, and Preferred. The regression coefficients within the group for each variable are similar in magnitude. There is similarity in the extent to which market similarity is explained by the regression model. This appears to be a group of luxury chains with moderate intemational experience (11 to 19 countries). Mimetic isomorphism does not explain the source of market similarity in this cluster. Size in the group varies greatly (13,550 to 93,484 rooms). These chains are of the same type (luxury), are from industrialized countries (US and Japan), and all have a moderate amount of intemational experience (11 to 19 countries). They can be considered direct competitors, locating in similar cities to keep track of each other, as multiple point competition would suggest. Cluster F: SAS, Scandic, HUSA intemational, Southem Pacific, Hyatt Intemational, Intercontinental, Hilton Intemational. Le Meridien, Choice. Ramada Intemational, Holiday Inn, Sheraton, Golden Tulip, SRS and Tmsthouse PLC. The regression coefficients within the group for each variable appear to be similar in magnitude. Size varies from 9,807 to 349,226 rooms. Intemational experience varies from 21 to 53 with the exception of SAS, Scandic, HUSA Intemational and Southem 114 Pacific. Type of hotel is unknown for Scandic, HUSA Intemational, Southem Pacific and Tmsthouse PLC. SAS, Ramada Intemational and Holiday are mid-priced hotels. The rest are luxury chains. This appears to be a cluster of multinational, luxury chains. Mimetic isomorphism does not explain the source of market similarity in this cluster. The size varies too greatly (9,807 to 349,226 rooms). The chains are mostly similar in type (luxury), and have experience in many countries (over 21). They can be considered competitors. One explanation for the market profile similarity is that the chains want to keep track of their competitors and so try to locate in similar locations, as multiple point competition would suggest. Cluster G: Days Inn, Radisson and Westin. The regression coefficients within the group for each variable appear to be similar in magnitude. Size varies from 35,233 to 138,721 rooms. Intemational experience varies from 4 to 12 countries. Days Inn is a luxury-budget chain, Radisson is mid-priced and Westin is a luxury chain. This appears to be a highly varied group of American chains. Mimetic isomorphism does not explain the market similarity, because of the large variation between chains on size (35,233 to 138,721 rooms). Given the wide range of types of hotels, it is difficult to establish how these chains could be key rivals. Cluster H: Super 8, Tmsthouse and Westcoast. The regression coefficients within the group for each variable are similar in magnitude. There is similarity in the extent to which market similarity is explained by the regression model. This appears to be a group of American chains with little international experience (1 or 2 countries). Super 8 is an economy chain. Type of hotel is unknown for the other chains. 115 Mimetic isomorphism does not explain the source of market similarity in this cluster. Size in the group varies greatly (4,673 to 56,643 rooms). Since complete information about type of hotel is unavailable, it is hard to assess whether the chains are key rivals. Cluster I: Budget. Hospitality Intemational and York. The regression coefficients within the group for each variable are similar in magnitude. There is similarity in the extent to which market similarity is explained by the regression model. This appears to be a group of American and Canadian chains with little international experience (1 or 2 countries). Budget is a luxury-budget chain. Type of hotel is unknown for the other chains. Mimetic isomorphism does not explain the source of market similarity in this cluster. Size in the group varies (1,336 to 19,165 rooms). Since complete information about type of hotel is unavailable, it is hard to assess whether the chains are key rivals. Outliers: Caesar Park, Interbenelux, Pacific Island, Ritz, Doubletree and HUSA. What is it about these chains that makes them unique? Besides the fact that Caesar Park is the only Brazilian chain in 1993, nothing else stands out as being unique about these chains. It is interesting, however, that once again the outliers have very limited intemational experience (in 1 or 2 countries). Besides market similarity, chains in 1993 seem to have at least one characteristic in common, namely intemational experience, nationality, type of hotel, or size. However, there does not appear to be one characteristic which is common in all clusters, although 116 intemational experience does appear relatively more dominant. Size is similar in three of the nine clusters in 1993. To reiterate, the aim of the study is to distinguish between rivals. Rivals are determined not only by market similarity, but also by similarity on other dimensions. Cluster analysis was used to identify those chains with market similarity. An assessment of the similarity of other characteristics (size, intemational experience, degree of intemationalization, leader, first mover and nationality) between pairs of chains was then conducted because firms with similar market locations, but no other similar characteristics are unlikely to be considered a major competitive threat. The results of the cluster analysis and subsequent analysis of characteristics for the entire ten year period yields some interesting findings. Some clusters appear to have a very clear source of characteristic similarity, besides market profile. However, there are also some clusters which appear to have no basis of similarity other than market similarity. Those clusters with characteristic similarity among group members appear to have at lest one variable in common, however, no one variable was common in all of these clusters.

Specifically, the purpose is to distinguish between rivals in the intemational hotel industry in order to help chains channel their resources and efforts against their greatest competitive rivals. The competitive relationship between a pair of firms is determined by the extent to which the two firms share the same sets of markets, and thus have what is known as market similarity (Kamani & Wemerfelt, 1985; Smith & Wilson, 1995). Market similarity is the extent to which firms operate in the same locations. There are several reasons why the intemational hotel industry is appropriate for such a study. Choice of market location (the basis of market similarity) is of key significance to competitive posture in this industry for two reasons (Bull, 1994). Location is the only attribute of the lodging "product" that is completely fixed. Hotel buildings and grounds cannot be physically moved, even if a particular location is found to be unsuitable. Location is also quite possibly the most important variable in determining the feasibility of a new hotel (Bull, 1994; Ellerbrock & Wells, 1983; Hart & Troy, 1986). A good location increases the value of a hotel and allows managers to charge a relatively constant premium rate. Location decisions are also important because they are strategic actions requiring large resource commitments and tend to be fairly difficult to reverse (Chen & Macmillan, 1992; Miller & Chen, 1994; Smith, Grimm, 205 Gannon & Chen, 1991; Smith et al., 1992). The intemational hotel industry also has some distinct characteristics such as high fixed costs, high operating leverage, capacity constraints, cyclicality and segmentation, which further make the choice of location a particularly interesting strategic question to examine. The aim of the study is to distinguish between rivals in the intemational hotel industry. This objective was achieved by using a pair-wise analysis of market similarity. To further distinguish between rivals, the basis of market similarity was also examined over time to establish whether one could distinguish between current and fumre rivals using current conditions. In other words, if two chains have similar characteristics currently, to what extent does this help to explain the market similarity and thus extent of rivalry of the two chains both now and in the fumre? To achieve the objective of distinguishing between rivals a pair-wise analysis was necessary. Network analysis allows one to conduct such a pair-wise analysis. In a network, the major focus is the set of relations to and from each actor in a system (Burt, 1976). In this case, the actors are intemational hotel chains, and the relations are the extent to which the chains have hotels in the same cities as every other chain. The output of the network analysis was a stmctural equivalence matrix of market similarity for each of the ten years of the study (1984 - 1993). The stmctural equivalence matrices were then analyzed using hierarchical cluster analysis and regression analysis. Cluster analysis was used to find approximately stmcturally equivalent chains based on market similarity, that is, find those chains with the highest market similarity. However, a high degree of market similarity alone does not make a pair of firms a 206 competitive threat to each other, unless they also have similarity on other relevant dimensions. Are there any similarities in characteristics between pairs of chains which could explain current and future market similarity (and thus rivalry) between those pairs of chains? A combination of regression analysis and lagged regression analysis was used to conduct this examination. To further examine the basis of market similarity (and thus probable rivalry), hypothesis testing was conducted to examine the extent to which the variables used in the study explain market similarity. The results of the cluster analysis, regression analysis, lagged regression analysis and hypotheses testing were presented in chapter four. The conclusions based on the overall results are presented next. The implications of the findings for both research and industry and then presented. Finally, the strengths and limitations and future directions of the study are discussed. Conclusions Interpretation of Regression Results: The results of both the regression analysis and lagged regression analysis indicate that market similarity is explained well only for certain kinds of chains. The only chains for which market similarity is well explained are the multinational chains (i.e., those with intemational experience in many countries) with a high degree of intemationalization and approximately similar types of hotels. In general, this group consists of large, American and European, luxury multinational chains for which intemational operations are fairly important. 207 It would appear that the variables in the study (size, intemational experience, degree of intemationalization, first mover, leader and nationality) explain market similarity well, and thus are useful for distinguishing between rivals only for certain types of chains, namely large, American and European, luxury multinational chains. This finding holds over time. In other words, the particular variables used in the study explain market similarity currently and in the future only for those specific types of chains in the industry. Several additional factors could account for market similarity but are beyond the scope of consideration of this study. It has been stated that the intemational hotel industry is sensitive to capacity constraints. Certain cities may have excess capacity and tremendous expected growth. Similarly, it may be cheaper to build and staff hotels in certain cities or certain cities may be close to certain tourist attractions. Such factors could explain why certain chains have similar market profiles. The intemational hotel industry has been shown have high operating leverage. Given the fact that physical properties and buildings cost millions of dollars to design, equip and maintain, few chains can afford to start an intemational venture without extemal funding. In today's environment, given the cautious nature of lenders, chains have to be very careful about a potential intemational venmre to ensure they have made a good investment. Investors may be more willing to give loans to chains if they go into specific types of cities which may be perceived as less of a risky investment than other cities. Such investor influence could account for some market similarity. 208 Travel pattems for business and leisure may promote similar market profiles among different chains. It has been shown that the intemational hotel industry is highly influenced by economic conditions and thus is cyclical. Travel pattems tend to reflect the economic conditions of a region. As travel pattems change, chains may choose locations to take advantage of new demand in untapped intemational cities. Travel pattems therefore could account for some of the market similarity. A chain may have strategic reasons for choosing particular city locations. For example, if a chain has strategic alliance partners, those partners may have strategic advantages in certain cities, and thus the chain may be more likely to go into those cities. A chain could even acquire competitor's hotels and end up with a market profile very similar to that of other chains. And, finally, coincidence could have some effect on market profile. Perhaps certain chains act very independently of other chains as they expand intemationally and by sheer chance end up with a similar market profile to other chains. Interpretation of Hvpotheses Tests HI: Difference in size has no effect on market similarity between pairs of chains. We fail to reject this hypothesis. H2: Difference in intemational experience has no effect on market similarity between pairs of chains. We fail to reject this hypothesis. 209 H3: Difference in degree of intemationalization has no effect on market similarity between pairs of chains. We fail to reject this hypothesis. H4: Difference in first mover behavior has no effect on market similarity between pairs of chains. We reject this hypothesis. The implication is that first mover behavior may have some effect on market similarity. H5: Difference in leader behavior has no effect on market similarity between pairs of chains. We reject this hypothesis. The implication is that leader behavior may have some effect on market similarity. H6: Difference in nationality has no effect on market similarity between pairs of chains. We reject this hypothesis. The implication is that nationality may have some effect on market similarity. To summarize, we fail to reject the hypotheses relating to size, intemational experience and degree of intemationalization. The implication is that these variables may not have any significant ability to explain market similarity. We reject the hypotheses relating to first mover behavior, leader behavior and nationality. The implication is that these variables may have some effect on market similarity and thus rivalry. When trying to distinguish between rivals, the results show some support for the evaluating first mover behavior, leader behavior and nationality in addition to market similarity. 210 The descriptive statistics help interpret each of the hypotheses which were rejected. The hypothesis relating to first mover behavior is rejected, and the variable has positive mean coefficients. This suggests if there is a difference in first mover behavior between two chains, the market similarity between the two will be more. The non-'first moving' chains will likely imitate the first mover and enter those markets which the first mover has entered. Therefore, except for the particular city (or cities) where the first mover is the first to enter, the market profiles of the first movers and non-first movers will likely be similar. The hypothesis relating to leader behavior is rejected, and the variable has negative mean coefficients. This suggests if there is a difference in leader behavior between two chains, the market similarity between the two will be less. The first chain to leave its home nation is likely to have a very different profile from other chains from its home nation, since it is much more aggressive and likely has more resources. Since research shows firms tend to go abroad into culturally similar markets when they have little intemational experience, the market profile of leaders is also unlikely to look similar to that of chains from other home nations. The hypothesis relating to nationality is also rejected, and the variable has negative mean coefficients. This suggests if there is a difference in nationality between two chains, the market similarity between the two will be less. Chains in different home nations are unlikely to know of, or be able to keep close track of chains from other home nations. It is unlikely, therefore, that they would be able to imitate each other's market location strategies. Research also shows that firms tend to initially go into culturally 211 similar nations. Chains from culturally dissimilar home nations are therefore unlikely to have similar market profiles. Interpretation of Cluster Analysis: Almost all chains in a cluster appear to have at least one variable in common besides market similarity, such as intemational experience, type of hotel, degree of intemationalization, size, first mover behavior or nationality. However, there is no variable, including type of hotel, which is found to be similar in all of the clusters, although intemational experience does appear to be a driving force. The implication is that there is no single variable, or set of variables which can be used to distinguish between rivals. Different rivals may be similar to a given firm on different dimensions. Chains should distinguish between rivals first based on market similarity, then other relevant characteristics. This is because if two firms operate within similar market locations, but do not have any other similar characteristics, it is unlikely that they will consider each other a major competitive threat (Chen, 1996). One pattem does appear to emerge from the cluster analysis and subsequent evaluation. If a chain has intemational experience in many countries (over 25 or so), the chains with highest market similarity to it have high intemational experience and similar types of hotels. In other words, the most intense rivals of a chain with high intemational experience have similar types of hotels and high intemational experience themselves. The chains most likely to imitate or be imitated by a chain with high intemational experience are those with market similarity, high intemational experience and similar 212 type of hotels. It is logical that such chains are rivals. They are likely to interact in many of the same large, intemational city markets. Since they have a similar market profile to competitors, it will be easier for them to keep up with competitor actions since they have a similar market base on which to build. As they interact more, they w ill want to keep track of each other and since they all have high intemational experience, they will be more comfortable following rivals into new foreign locations, or even being the first in the group to enter a new city. Their rivalry is intense because regardless of city location, they are competing for the same type of customer. The competition for the same type of customer also explains why they will want to follow a competitor into other locations, as the competitor's presence there means there is the potential to take advantage of another untapped market. Another pattem appears to emerge from the cluster analysis and subsequent evaluation. If a chain has intemational experience in few countries (under 5), the chains with highest market similarity to it have low intemational experience and similar nationality. In other words, the most intense rivals of a chain with low intemational experience have low intemational experience themselves and come from the same home nation or culturally similar home nations. The chains most likely to imitate or be imitated by a chain with low intemational experience are those with market similarity, low intemational experience and similar nationality. Chains are most likely to imitate other chains they know and are familiar with. The chains most likely to be visible and known to a given chain are those from the same home nation, or culturally similar home nations. It is because such chains have little intemational experience, that they are uncomfortable 213 with foreign expansion, and therefore, to reduce uncertainty and potential risks, they imitate the foreign expansion strategies of other known chains. Another interesting finding is that size does not appear to be a factor in distinguishing between rivals, contrary to what mimetic isomorphism theories would suggest. In very few of the clusters is size similar among chains in a cluster. One possible explanation for this finding is that chains try to take advantage of economies of agglomeration (Weber, 1929; Baum & Haveman, 1997). Agglomeration refers to the economies which arise from being located close to similar type of firms, such as a shared infrastmcture, informational extemalities and reduction of consumer search costs. Thus, chains would imitate the market profile of similar types of chains, regardless of size. This explanation holds tme for multinational chains. Another explanation for the finding on size, is that chains imitate other known chains regardless of type or size, because they are familiar with the known chains, can more easily keep track of their movements, and take advantage of high demand in that location. The low costs and/or high demand of a particular location are known as economies of location (Weber, 1929; Baum & Haveman, 1997). Thus, chains would imitate the market profile of other chains, regardless of size or type. This explanation holds tme for chains with little intemational experience. Overall, the results regarding size suggest that size may not affect choice of location ( and thus rivalry) as much as previously thought in mimetic isomorphism studies. 214 Implications Research Implications The results and conclusions of this study further validate the importance of multiple point competition in industries where a local presence is required. The study reveals the importance of market similarity in distinguishing between rivals. Although a high degree of market similarity alone does not distinguish rivals, without market similarity, it would be hard to make a case for firms to be rivals. To distinguish between rivals, market similarity in addition to similarity on other relevant dimensions should be assessed. The results suggest that the relevant dimensions will vary. In this particular industry, the relevant dimension based on the cluster analysis appears to be intemational experience. It is interesting that in the hypotheses testing, intemational experience does not appear to have any significant effect on market similarity. The regression analysis results, however, indicate intemational experience may have an effect on market similarity for large, multinational chains and the cluster analysis results indicate intemational experience may play a role in explaining market similarity for both multinational chains and chains with little knowledge of intemational business. One explanation for the interesting findings is that there are so few chains which are either large, multinational chains or with little knowledge of intemational business, that the results of the hypotheses tests are being driven by the remaining chains in each year. More research is needed to establish whether results would differ if the remaining chains were removed for each year. More research is also needed to examine whether the group of remaining chains have a common base of rivalry other than that found in this study. 215 Further research is also needed to examine whether the bases of rivalry from one industry can be applied to other industries. The results suggest that size may not affect rivalry as much as previously thought in mimetic isomorphism studies. When the basis of market similarity was empirically examined in an attempt to distinguish between rivals, size did not appear to have any significant effect on market similarity. In subsequent evaluation of cluster membership, size once again did not appear to be an important factor. It would appear that size may not play a significant role in distinguishing between rivals. Industrv Implications: A current trend of consolidation exists in the intemational hotel industry (WSJ, 2/26/97). For example, Hilton has been trying to acquire ITT Sheraton; Patriot American Hospitality has begun to negotiate the purchase of the Wyndham chain; and Hyatt Intemational is trying to acquire between 20 to 30 hotels over the next three years. Experts suggest that by the next decade there may only be between ten and twenty chains worldwide. This study provides an excellent way to deal with the consolidation trend. Depending on the reason for the consolidation, using a pair-wise analysis of market similarity such as in this research project, one may be able to identify suitable merger and/or acquisition partners; identify strategic alliance partners; and also identify current and potential rivals to keep track of. No other known studies using a pair-wise approach have been conducted in the intemational hotel industry. Using the pair-wise approach with market similarity, a chain can decide which other chains will allow it to strengthen 216 presence in a particular region of the world. If two chains have almost identical market similarity, and are very similar in other dimensions, a case can be made for those two chains to easily merge. However, in terms of accessing new markets and new customer segments, a chain may be more interested in finding a chain with dissimilar market profiles, and dissimilar characteristics on other dimensions. This study provides one way for chains to identify both kinds of potential merger partners. The affiliation matrix (which show which chains are located in which intemational cities) is very valuable to the intemational hotel industry. Going through the process of developing such an affiliation matrix is cmcial in developing strategic plans for a chain. Developing an affiliation matrix provides a good way to identify outliers (chains with very unique market profiles) and thus discover untapped markets which may prove to be a lucrative investment. Developing an affiliation matrix also may provide a way for a chain to differentiate itself in market profile from its rivals. The results of the cluster analysis show that chains in almost every cluster have at least one characteristic in common (besides market similarity). However, no characteristic was found to be common in all clusters. The implication is that chains should search for the source of commonality with all chains with which it has market similarity, and distinguish between rivals in this manner. The cluster analysis findings suggest that if a chain has high intemational experience, type of hotel is likely to be the common variable; if a chain has little intemational experience, nationality is likely to be the common variable. 217 Limitations and Strengths The study only considers intemational hotel chains. Information about domestic hotels in every given nation is not included. One reason for this omission, is that intemational hotel chains create intemational divisions when their intemational operations increase substantially. The intemational divisions compete with and deal with intemational issues, and the domestic divisions deal with domestic competitors and issues. Another reason for the omission, is that information about domestic chains in every country in the study was not readily available. The study uses secondary data. If there are any errors in the directories, those errors will be duplicated in this study. Also, if information about any chain is omitted from a given directory for any reason, the chain would not be included in analyses for that year. Information about type of hotel and performance was unavailable for many nonAmerican chains, making it difficult to compare competitive intensity between some chains. An attempt was made to collect as much information as possible about each chain in the study, however, since some chains are privately held, and others are no longer in existence, it was not possible to collect all information. The study examines hotel presence at the city level. There is no distinction between different locations or neighborhoods within a given intemational city. The study addresses the question of whether a chain has at least one hotel in a given city, not whether it has a hotel in a given neighborhood of a given city. The number of rooms per 218 city is not taken into account in this smdy. However, the total number of rooms outside of the home country is considered. Using indirect measures of rivalry may contribute to some of the ambiguity in multiple market studies (Baum & Kom, 1996). This study makes use of one proxy measure for intensity of rivalry, namely, market similarity. If this proxy is not a good measure of rivalry in this industry, it may result in more ambiguous results. However, the distinct characteristics of this industry (namely capacity sensitivity and high fixed costs) make market similarity a good proxy for intensity. The high fixed costs associated with building a new hotel combined with the sensitivity to capacity constraints means that geographic proximity and thus market similarity will increase rivalry among intemational hotel chains. This research project is conducted in a single industry. As such, the generalizability of the findings to other industries must be done with care. Market similarity can only be assessed in an industry with clearly defined, regional markets. The intemational hotel industry is one such industry. The results may apply best to this and other industries with clearly defined, regional markets. The results of the regression analysis must be interpreted with caution since the regression assumption of independence is violated by using network data as input. Another potential limitation is that the time period used for the study may not be sufficiently long to capture first mover and leader behavior. One strength of the study is that it addresses the relatively unexplored question of how a firm should differentiate between competitors so as to channel its resources and 219 efforts. The study makes use of pair-wise analysis, which is recommended, but has hardly been used in previous rivalry studies. The smdy also provides one more examination of mimetic isomorphism, which at the present time has contradictory research results. Another strength is that the study combines qualitative and quantitative analysis techniques in a unique fashion. To get at the namre of relationships between pairs of chains, it was necessary to use appropriate methodology - hence the use of network analysis. A relatively understudied industry is used for this study. At the present time, only two known smdies exist of the intemational hotel industry. No known studies using a pair-wise approach have been conducted in the intemational hotel industry. Future Directions It would be very interesting to collect more information about the large, multinational chains for which market similarity was well explained. It would be interesting to examine over time the extent to which these chains have imitated each other (if at all). The objective would be to try to establish whether the chains have similar market profiles currently because they have imitated each other, or because of coincidence or some other factor. It would especially be informative to try to get a sense of the success of these chains, to see whether market profile has had any relationship with success. Of these chains, which chain is most successful, and can that be explained by their market profile or characteristics? 220 Another extension of the study would be to compare the market profiles of chains from similar cultures. Nationality may have some effect on market similarity as indicated by hypothesis 6. The cultural similarity and proximity of home nations appeared to play a role in cluster definition. It would be interesting to conduct a research project which compares the extent to which chains with cultural similarity imitate each other. Additionally, a study which allows one to examine the pattems of intemational expansion would be useful. Can cultural similarity or dissimilarity between home and host nation explain the choice of intemational locations? 221 REFERENCES Aharoni, Y. 1966. The Foreign Investment Decision Process.
