| Tiivistelmä: | The paper focus on how competitive advantage is constructed by producer service business, how it varies among establishments with different characteristics, and how it affects establishment performance. It presents a detailed evaluation of the competitive advantage model developed by Porter and reviews applications to the producer services. The authors find this model successful in distinguishing between superior and inferior performance by producer service businesses, with differences observed across age, organizational type, and size of business. They develop an expanded model of factors, which includes dimensions particular to the information-oriented producer services, such as creativity, geographic proximity, R&D capabilities, and adaptability to client needs. |
