The Evolution of Wood-based Industries in Brazil and their Means of Securing Wood
Oxford Development Studies, 2003Co-Authors: Carlos Jose´ Caetano BachaAbstract:This paper analyses the evolution of wood-based industries in Brazil and evaluates the methods they use to secure wood. Only industries that consume roundwood are analysed. These industries are grouped into three categories: charcoal-based industries; paper and pulp industries; and lumber and panels industries. The Structure-Conduct-Performance Paradigm together with transaction cost theory and game theory are used in the analysis. Special attention is paid to historic changes in the wood-based industries' structures, technologies, locations and market orientations brought on by changing wood availability. This paper also analyses the different ways that a predicted wood scarcity will affect each wood-based industry. The paper ends by suggesting an alternative policy to increase the supply of roundwood in the market and, consequently, support the continued viability and expansion of wood-based industries in Brazil.

Copy watches, tailored clothes, and the structure→conduct→performance Paradigm
Review of Industrial Organization, 1994Co-Authors: Ira HorowitzAbstract:This paper explores the classic structure → conduct → performance Paradigm in the context of the industrial structure of Hong Kong. It is shown that, notwithstanding the absense of a few dominant producers and the on-going restructuring of the manufacturing sector, even in a ‘quasi-developed’ open economy such as that of Hong Kong the Paradigm gleans strong empirical support.

Efficiency v. Structure-Conduct-Performance: Implications for Strategy Research and Practice
Journal of Management, 1993Co-Authors: Abagail Mcwilliams, Dennis L. SmartAbstract:The strategic management field has derived many of its theoretical concepts from other social science disciplines including economics, psychology, and sociology. Industrial organization (IO) economics and the Structure-Conduct-Performance Paradigm, in particular, provided many of the building blocks upon which strategy formulation was constructed (Barney, 1986; Harrigan, 1981; Porter, 1981). However, some researchers are now questioning this transfer of theory from IO economics to Strategic Management (Barney, 1986; Conner, 1991; Hirsch & Friedman, 1986; Rumelt, 1984).

La liberalizzazione del mercato elettrico - Una proposta per superare la maggior tutela
2017Co-Authors: Carlo Stagnaro, Carlo Amenta, Giulia Di Croce, Luciano LavecchiaAbstract:Italian electricity consumers have been free to choose their supplier since 2007, but about 66 percent are still supplied under the so-called maggior tutela, a regulated regime. Italy’s Annual Competition Law states that regulated prices will be phased out by July 1st, 2019. This paper performs an analysis of the country’s retail electricity market following the Structure-Conduct-Performance Paradigm. Two main issues emerge that need to be addressed: market concentration and consumer inertia. The paper proposes several policy tools, aimed at both the supply and the demand side, aimed at promoting supply diversification, market entry and an increased customer engagement.

The political economy of telecommunications in Malaysia and Singapore: A structure–conduct–performance comparative analysis
Information Economics and Policy, 1997Co-Authors: Gene M Mesher, Edward E. ZajacAbstract:Abstract This article presents a political economy analysis of national telecommunications policy in Malaysia and Singapore. Our approach combines a stakeholder analysis of central political actors with the Structure, Conduct, Performance Paradigm of industrial economics. We posit that the structure of telecommunications market sectors along with reforms that are implemented can be seen as fulfilling the main political stakeholder's policy objectives. Preliminary findings from a comparative study using the Stakeholders–SCP methodology are presented based on fieldwork in Malaysia and Singapore. Along with the analysis of stakeholders, we describe telecommunications market structure in the two countries. The structures of four market sectors are compared: cellular telephony, paging, EDI and the Internet. © 1997 Elsevier Science B.V.
