Shirzad Farhikhteh and Fatemeh Farhikhteh

A chapter in Competitiveness in the New Era from IntechOpen

Abstract: This chapter explores two dimensions of competitiveness and describes how they affect economics to achieve competitive advantage. We used Grounded theory strategy to analyze the data and the targeted sampling was applied to gather information through in-depth semi-structured interviews. We can conclude that Impressive Factors include five categories containing Causal conditions, Context conditions, Inner-Intervening conditions, Outer-Intervening conditions, and Strategies. Also, Constructive Factors comprise just one category, the consequences, which in this chapter is competitive advantage. Impressive Factors finally result in Constructive Factors and Constructive Factors result in competitive advantage. To sum, all of the five Impressive Factors result in Constructive Factors.
