Abstract

The paper presents relationships between three types of competition and their aggregate measure, and four dimensions of top management control, for 96 manufacturing firms in diverse American industries. The data suggest that overall competition positively affects control, and that of the three competitions, product competition alone has a significant positive influence on all four management control variables.
