Abstract

The strategic behavior of manufacturing firms in the context of the Finnish food industry is examined. Based on business-level strategy theories, the objective is to examine the interrelationships between particular types of competitive advantages, a food manufacturer's bargaining power in input and output markets, and organizational performance. Strategic advantages of the food industry are defined through the development of a taxonomy based on survey data from 65 firms. © 1995 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
