Ansoff Strategic Posture and Firms’ Responses to Industry Norms under Environmental Turbulence

This dataset contains the final firm–year analytic panel used to examine how firms adjust their strategic posture relative to industry norms under conditions of environmental turbulence, drawing on Igor Ansoff’s Strategic Success Hypothesis (SSH). The unit of analysis is the firm–year.
The dataset covers publicly listed technology firms, primarily listed on NASDAQ, observed over the period 2006–2015. It reports firms’ strategic distance from contemporaneous industry benchmarks and the year-to-year change in that distance, which constitutes the primary dependent variable in the empirical analyses.
Industry norms are constructed at the industry–year level as peer means excluding the focal firm. Firm-level strategic posture measures reflect the alignment among environmental turbulence, strategic aggressiveness, and capability responsiveness, coded from publicly available and auditable disclosures (e.g., annual reports, 10-K filings, investor materials). Environmental turbulence is treated as exogenous at the industry–year level.
Key variables include firms’ distance from the industry norm, absolute distance, lagged distance measures, and the change in absolute distance between consecutive years, capturing convergence toward or divergence from industry benchmarks. The dataset also includes identifiers necessary for panel estimation and lag construction.
This file represents the final merged dataset used in all reported regressions, figures, and hypothesis tests. Intermediate construction files (e.g., firm-level coding sheets and industry benchmark tables) are not included to ensure clarity and reproducibility. The dataset allows independent replication of the empirical results reported in the associated study.

本数据集包含用于检验企业在环境动荡条件下如何参照行业基准调整战略姿态的最终企业-年度分析面板数据，研究依托伊戈尔·安索夫的战略成功假说（Strategic Success Hypothesis，SSH）展开。分析单元为企业-年度观测单位。
数据集覆盖2006-2015年期间主要在纳斯达克（NASDAQ）上市的公开交易科技企业，记录了企业与同期行业基准的战略距离，以及该距离的年度变化——这是实证分析中的核心因变量。
行业基准以行业-年度维度构建，计算方式为剔除目标企业后的同行均值。企业层面的战略姿态测度反映了环境动荡、战略进取性与能力响应性三者的匹配度，数据从公开可获取且可审计的披露文件（如年度报告、10-K备案文件、投资者材料）中编码得到。环境动荡在行业-年度层面被视为外生变量。
核心变量包括企业与行业基准的距离、绝对距离、滞后距离项，以及连续年度间绝对距离的变化量，用于捕捉企业向行业基准收敛或偏离的趋势。数据集还包含面板估计与滞后项构建所需的识别变量。
本文件为所有汇报的回归分析、图表与假说检验所使用的最终合并数据集。为保证内容清晰与可复现性，未纳入中间构建文件（如企业层面编码表、行业基准表）。本数据集支持独立复现关联研究中汇报的实证结果。
