Directions of research using the SV matrix - we invite new authors

 

The SV matrix is a new tool, so we would be grateful to the researchers who will try to apply it in their research and make suggestions for improving and developing the ideas embodied in it.

 

Some directions for the research:

• Application of the SV matrix to analyze new markets and industries: local countries' markets or international markets. It is noteworthy to study markets where economic dominance is traditionally strong: cellular communications, equipment manufacturers, commercial and industrial equipment markets, and others.
• Analysis of the three indices used in the SV matrix: an additional study of the economic meaning and correct interpretation of the boundary values of the Lind index, as well as comparison of the use of the HTSV index with other differentiation indices when constructing the SV matrix.
• Integration of the SV matrix with other strategic competitive analysis tools and the reasons that move to the market from one quadrant to another: strategic behavior of players, actions of regulators, and others.
• ...and other related topics.

If you need methodological support in using the SV matrix - write to us.
