| Abstract: | This article focuses upon dynamic aspects of strategic groups in the USA insurance industry from 1970-1984. It examines the structure of strategic groups and identifies the strategic patterns followed over time. Three dominant groups are present throughout the period while other group positions emerge/disappear over time. It is suggested that the quantum theory of strategic adaptation models the processes of strategic group change. A low level of firm mobility is found between strategic groups consistent with the presence of inertia and mobility barriers. |
