| Abstract: | Due to the increasing popularity of retail cooperatives in hardware retailing, a new competitive dynamic has emerged, a hybrid of intratype/intergroup competition. Individual members of one cooperative group now fight for market share with one or more members of competing cooperative groups, in an effort to attain individual goals, as well as group goals. This study tests a model of competition that includes both individual and group conditions. Results of the structural equation model (SEM) show that the data fir the theoretical model well. |
