摘要
This study investigated firm strategic advantages using SMEs in the plastics industry in Thailand as a case study. SMEs have dominated the growth and development of Thai plastics. Studying a background of this industry brings about better understanding of firm strategic advantages. Strategic advantage occurs when a firm's position cannot be imitated by its competitors due to strategic actions. Firms present their strategic advantages in three areas: addressing customer need, improving customer accessibility, and developing varieties in their offer. The results present that all three levels of technological capability are positively related to strategic advantages. Moreover, firm strategic advantages are predictable variables of export growth. Thus, this study provides an empirical insight on the concept of strategic advantage.
