“Hardball” Competition
• Total Actions
–More actions are better
• Average Response Time
–Faster response time is better
• Repertoire Complexity
–Complex repertoire is better
• Attack [Un-]Predictability
–Unpredictability is better
Page 32
Group Exercise: Coke vs. Pepsi
• Total Actions
–Count of total actions
• Average Response Time
–Avg. number of time units between last competitive
move in Coke’s attack and Pepsi’s first competitive
response, etc.
• Repertoire Complexity
–Extent to which entire pattern/repertoire is
skewed/simple vs. balanced/complex
• Attack [Un-]Predictability
–Recognizable repetition or action combinations in
the sequence of actions?

Implications for CI:
Predict Future Behavior of Rivals
Rivals’ prior behavior
Drivers of Behavior
• Patterns
• Management orientation
• Tendencies
• Decision-making
• Type & order of moves
• Financial constraints
• Proactiveness
• Industry characteristics
• Reactiveness
Page 35
Implications for CI:
Monitor Your Own Behavior
• Objectively measures of competitive behavior
• Safeguard against complacency, predictability, simplicity
of your own company
• Keep rivals off balance / disruption / guessing
• What combinations of moves are effective? …which are
ineffective? …smoke signals or bluffs?
