To establish a conceptual framework identifying the key internal and market-facing determinants of firm-level competitiveness in the industrial sector.
Conducted semi-structured qualitative interviews with global agri-food firms based on established theoretical models of competitiveness.
Assessed organizational and operational factors across two core domains: internal capacities and market-facing strategies in domestic and international markets.
Qualitative conceptual modeling demonstrated that competitive advantage is more prominently associated with large-scale firms than smaller enterprises.
Internal organizational capacities and outward market-facing strategies both exert direct, substantive influences on firm-level competitive advantage.
