Abstract: Most competitive strategy studies have analysed samples in the developed world, namely the USA and parts of Europe. Cross-cultural work – particularly in emerging economies – has been limited. This paper reexamines the nature of competitive strategy in China, Turkey and the USA. Like their US counterparts, Turkish managers reported a greater emphasis in their organisations on innovation than on cost leadership approaches. However, the Chinese respondents did not follow an innovation-cost distinction when evaluating the strategies of their organisations.
