| Abstract: | In order to propose a model of managerial (in)attention explaining why appeals by middle managers for top managers to attend to specific threats of emerging (here as: emrg.) competitors are not noticed, this study integrates the Attention Based View of the firm and Regulatory Focus Theory. It is suggested that the differences in regulatory foci influence the allocation of attention to competitive intelligence warning of an emrg. threat. It is discussed how top managers might better evaluate whether threats of emrg. rivals are worthy of deeper consideration. |
