Intrafirm Conflicts and Interfirm Price Competition

11. Ruebeck article

Intrafirm “cannibalisation” of a product’s demand by the firm’s own products is found to have a more robust and significant relationship to the probability of its withdrawal than does interfirm competition from other firms’ products.

Delegation , Worker Compensation , and Strategic Competition

We study interfirm competition on a product market where effort decisions are delegated to the firms’ workers. Intrafirm organization is captured by a principal-multiagent framework where firm owners implement alternative compensation schemes for the workers. We show that the value of delegation as well as the optimal design of the compensation scheme crucially depend on the intensity of compet...

Intra-firm Conflicts and Interfirm Competition

We study interaction effects between intra-firm conflicts and interfirm competition on a duopolistic market with seller firms employing one or more agents and implementing tournament incentives. We show that inter-firm competition leads to higher incentive intensity, higher efforts and output levels but lower profits.

The majority of my research is field-based, and in the quantitative, positivist research tradition, complemented by some qualitative methods on the front end. The unit of analysis in my research has followed an intrafirm to interfirm ontological trajectory. The core contributions of my research so far have been in addressing questions about how knowledge integration is achieved across intra-fir...
