Smith Business Close-Up:
Competition Flies with U.S. Airlines

Here's the paradox: the more aggressively a firm competes, the greater its performance. But by competing so aggressively, it also forces its rivals to compete more aggressively, thus improving their performance, too. At the same time, if competition is too intense, it can be difficult for any firm to make money. Case in point: the U.S. airline industry.

In this edition of Smith Business Close-Up with the University of Maryland's Robert H. Smith School of Business, Dr. Curt Grimm talks about how the brutal pace of competition, while it may have negative as well as positive effects for individual firms, creates stronger and fitter industries as a whole. He points to the airline industry as an example.

Grimm, the Dean's Chair Professor of Supply Chain and Strategy, has conducted extensive research in both supply chain and strategic management. His research has focused on the interface of business and public policy with strategic management, with a particular emphasis on competition, competition policy, deregulation and microeconomic reform both in the U.S. and overseas. This research has resulted in four books and more than 80 published articles.
