Dear Professor Faraci
I think you will find many answers to your questions in Michael E. Porter's "On Competition" (a collection of articles and chapters about strategy and competitiveness).
Best Regards

A question about firms competitiveness
I'm teaching a class of Global Strategic Management to Grad Students at the University of Florida. In addition to what has been mentioned in the textbook (I'm using the 8th edition of the Hitt, Hoskisson and Ireland "Strategic Management"), we discussed in class about measuring firms strategic competitiveness, in other words which are the indicators of a firm's strategic competitiveness. Besides, we enlarged our discussion talking in general about firms competitiveness. Now, it's time to come with an effective summary of what we said in class about this topic that, apparently, is not so discussed in depth in the textbooks or even in the major journals' articles.
Do you have any suggestion (a reading, an article, a paper) that can help me in summarizing all the principal measures of firms strategic competitiveness and, more broadly, firms competitiveness?
I appreciate your help. Thank you
