title = {Models of competition between firms: the case of Slovenia’s (post)transitional economy},
year = {2006},
note = {The process of competition between firms can be described as a
causal-consecutive sequence. The paper is built on the findings of
empirical research based on a sample of 225 Slovenian firms. By using
statistical methods we examine which approaches firms use to ensure
their competitiveness and, based thereon, offer a judgement on the
existence of potential models of competition in a posttransitional
Slovenian economy. We conclude that there are four such models. They
mainly differ in the sources of competitive advantage, financial and
nonfinancial performance, size of firms and firms' strategies, whereas
differences regarding the forms of competitive advantage are much less
significant. Slovenian firms are therefore taking different paths
towards competitiveness, which is not very surprising given the
complexity of the competition process.},
