| Abstract: | Isolating mechanisms have been developed in the literature as intellectual constructs to explain competitive barriers at the individual firm level. The are defined as idiosyncratic features of a firm's management that create barriers to competitive imitation, contributing to competitive advantage and company performance. Although presented as intellectual constructs, they can be proactively employed by companies to impact on performance. |
