Abstract
This paper develops a new model for analysing industry competitive structure. The new model combines traditional strategic group analysis with stakeholder theory. Thus we have a model that incorporates all actors into the industry analysis. Company‐stakeholder clusters reveal the hidden, and often, crucial relationships that determine firm longevity. Using the new model, the small production canning industry is analysed.
