Evidence suggests that firms often do not respond even when they are aware of an attack and have the capability to counter it. We believe that this is because they engage in a form of nonresponse that we designate as strategic forbearance, a phenomenon that has been mostly neglected by scholars of competitive dynamics. We view such forbearance as a critical component of competitive strategy—an attempt to situate responses to attacks within a more complex and nuanced strategic, organizational, and environmental context. Forbearance, we argue, represents managers’ mindful attempts to transcend reflexive responses by expanding the range of considerations beyond (a) an attacker to other stakeholders and rivals, (b) the immediate attack to its historical setting and longterm relational implications, and (c) unitary tactics to those concerning global strategic coherence and adaptation. We formally define and tentatively operationalize strategic forbearance before deriving propositions concerning its five general transcending drivers. Ultimately, we believe that the study of forbearance can bring scholars of competitive dynamics closer to the heart of reflective competitive strategy. 有证据表明，企业即便意识到攻击且有能力反击，往往也不会做出回应。我们认为这是因为它们采取了一种我们称之为“战略性克制”的不回应行为，而这一现象大多被竞争动态领域的学者所忽视。我们将这种克制视为竞争战略的关键组成部分——试图将对攻击的回应置于更复杂、更细致的战略、组织和环境背景中。我们认为，克制代表了管理者有意识地尝试超越本能反应，将考虑范围从（a）攻击者扩展到其他利益相关者和竞争对手，（b）直接攻击扩展到其历史背景和长期关系影响，以及（c）单一战术扩展到关乎全球战略一致性和适应性的层面。我们正式定义并初步操作化“战略性克制”，然后推导关于其五种一般超越性驱动因素的命题。最终，我们相信对克制的研究能让竞争动态领域的学者更接近反思性竞争战略的核心。
Predicting competitive response is a key objective of competitive dynamics research (Chen, 1996; Chen & MacMillan, 1992; Gao, Yu, & Cannella, 2017; Grimm, Lee, & Smith, 2006; Livengood & Reger, 2010; Smith, Ferrier, & Ndofor, 2001; Smith, Grimm, Gannon, & Chen, 1991). To understand what drives this response, researchers have explored how likely, quickly, and intensively a defender will react, with what type of countermove, and under which conditions (Chen & Hambrick, 1995; Chen & Miller, 1994; Chen & Miller, 2012; Ga0 et al., 2017; MacMillan, McCaffery, & van Wijk, 1985; Smith et al., 1991). 预测竞争对手的反应是竞争动态研究的一个关键目标（Chen, 1996; Chen & MacMillan, 1992; Gao, Yu, & Cannella, 2017; Grimm, Lee, & Smith, 2006; Livengood & Reger, 2010; Smith, Ferrier, & Ndofor, 2001; Smith, Grimm, Gannon, & Chen, 1991）。为了理解是什么驱动了这种反应，研究人员探索了防御者可能以何种类型的反击行动、在何种条件下，以多大概率、多快速度和多强烈程度做出反应（Chen & Hambrick, 1995; Chen & Miller, 1994; Chen & Miller, 2012; Ga0 et al., 2017; MacMillan, McCaffery, & van Wijk, 1985; Smith et al., 1991）。
Much less attention, however, has been devoted to studying competitive nonresponse. With one exception (Chen & MacMillan, 1992), what we know about competitive nonresponse is derived from examining the drivers of competitive response. For example, firms lacking capabilities are less likely to respond as they simply do not have the financial, human, or organizational capacity to do so (Chen & Hambrick, 然而，人们对竞争性无响应（competitive nonresponse）的研究关注要少得多。除了一项研究（Chen & MacMillan，1992）外，我们对竞争性无响应的了解都来自于对竞争性响应驱动因素的考察。例如，缺乏能力的企业不太可能做出响应，因为它们根本没有足够的财务、人力或组织能力来做到这一点（Chen & Hambrick，
1995; Gnyawali & Madhavan, 2001; Smith et al., 1991). Other research has emphasized a lack of awareness to explain nonresponse. Because firms pay less attention to their peripheral markets (Livengood & Reger, 2010), they may be unaware of attacks there. Finally, firms may lack the motivation to respond, perhaps because an attacker has never before been aggressive (Kilduff, Elfenbein, & Staw, 2010). 1995；Gnyawali & Madhavan，2001；Smith et al.，1991）。其他研究强调，缺乏意识是解释无回应的原因。由于企业对其外围市场关注较少（Livengood & Reger，2010），它们可能未意识到这些市场中的攻击。最后，企业可能缺乏回应的动力，这可能是因为攻击者以前从未采取过攻击性行动（Kilduff，Elfenbein，& Staw，2010）。
We shall argue, however, that there are many instances where a firm is aware of an attack on an important market, capable of responding, and tempted initially to respond but decides not to for strategic reasons. Whereas most previous research has regarded nonresponse as a costly failure to defend or neutralize an attack, we propose that it can serve as a strategically advantageous option that confers benefits which enhance a firm’s competitive position. We designate such purposeful nonresponse as strategic forbearance—a critical, yet underexplored, aspect of competitive dynamics. Strategic forbearance induces managers to transcend an immediate threat and consider a broader cast of actors and stakeholders in a competitive situation, a longer time horizon—past and future—and systemic issues related to strategic learning and alignment. In other words, the reasons for such nonresponse go beyond an attacker, the period surrounding the attack, and immediate outcomes, which remain the primary foci of competitive dynamics and game theoretic perspectives (Chen & MacMillan, 1992). We believe that the study of strategic forbearance will bring scholars closer to considerations at the heart of competitive strategy and strategic thinking. 然而，我们将论证，存在许多情况：企业意识到对某个重要市场的攻击，有能力做出回应，最初也有回应的冲动，但出于战略原因决定不回应。与大多数以往研究将不回应视为防御或中和攻击的代价高昂的失败不同，我们认为不回应可以作为一种具有战略优势的选择，带来提升企业竞争地位的益处。我们将这种有目的的不回应称为战略克制——竞争动态中一个关键但尚未充分探索的方面。战略克制促使管理者超越眼前的威胁，在竞争情境中考虑更广泛的参与者和利益相关者、更长的时间跨度（过去和未来），以及与战略学习和战略一致性相关的系统性问题。换句话说，这种不回应的原因超出了攻击者、攻击发生的时期以及直接结果——而这些正是竞争动态和博弈论视角的主要关注点（Chen & MacMillan, 1992）。我们相信，对战略克制的研究将使学者更接近竞争战略和战略思维的核心考量。
In this paper, we shed light on the drivers of strategic forbearance. We define this type of forbearance as a purposeful, mindful decision not to counterattack a rival. In doing so, we distinguish strategic nonresponse from involuntary nonresponse—an inability to respond to attacks due to a lack of awareness or a lack of capability. By contrast, strategic forbearance occurs when a defender is aware of an attack, capable of developing a countermove, and tempted to respond but overrides that temptation and refrains from countering due to strategic considerations not fully captured by the concepts of awareness, capability, and motivation (Chen, 1996; Chen & Miller, 2015). We argue that managers may choose forbearance when they shift attention from a focal to a more encompassing social context, from proximal to distal temporal outcomes, and from tactical to systemic considerations. We explore five transcending drivers of strategic forbearance: mitigating rivalry, reaping relational benefits, preserving existing norms, enhancing optionality, and preserving strategic alignment and evolution. 在本文中，我们阐明了战略克制的驱动因素。我们将这种克制定义为一种有目的、有意识的决定，即不反击对手。通过这样做，我们将战略无回应与非自愿无回应区分开来——非自愿无回应是由于缺乏意识或能力而无法对攻击做出回应。相比之下，当防御方意识到攻击、有能力制定反制措施、并受到回应的诱惑，但由于战略考虑（这些考虑未被意识、能力和动机等概念完全涵盖）而抑制了这种诱惑并克制反击时，就会出现战略克制（Chen, 1996；Chen & Miller, 2015）。我们认为，当管理者将注意力从焦点转移到更广泛的社会背景、从近期时间结果转移到远期时间结果、以及从战术考虑转移到系统性考虑时，他们可能会选择克制。我们探讨了战略克制的五个超越性驱动因素：缓解竞争、获取关系收益、维护现有规范、增强选择权，以及保持战略一致性和演进。
Although the term forbearance has appeared in the strategy literature, it has been narrowly construed and associated with a specific context: multimarket contact. Scholars of multimarket competition have examined why firms “mutually forbear” from attack despite having the opportunity and capacity to do so (Baum & Korn, 1999; Karnani & Wernerfelt, 1985; Yu & Cannella, 2013). However, forbearance occurs in many contexts other than multimarket competition; it is relevant also for strategic nonresponse and is quite common. In fact, research has shown that $5 4 %$ of firms do not react to price and advertising attacks (Steenkamp, Nijs, Hanssens, & Dekimpe, 2005: 45) and $4 0 %$ of firms do not react to new product introductions (Bowman & Gatignon, 1995: 46). We believe that in many of those cases, firms are capable of responding but purposefully choose not to counterattack for reasons we shall discuss. 尽管“克制”一词已出现在战略文献中，但它被狭义地解读并与特定情境（多市场接触）相关联。多市场竞争领域的学者研究了企业为何“相互克制”不发起攻击，尽管它们有机会和能力这么做（Baum & Korn, 1999；Karnani & Wernerfelt, 1985；Yu & Cannella, 2013）。然而，克制不仅发生在多市场竞争之外的许多情境中，它也与战略性无回应相关，且相当普遍。事实上，研究表明，54%的企业不会对价格和广告攻击做出反应（Steenkamp, Nijs, Hanssens, & Dekimpe, 2005: 45），40%的企业不会对新产品推出做出反应（Bowman & Gatignon, 1995: 46）。我们认为，在许多这类案例中，企业有能力回应，但出于我们将讨论的原因，它们有意选择不进行反击。
Our analysis is structured as follows. First, we define forbearance using a necessary condition analysis to differentiate it from other forms of response and nonresponse and to suggest avenues of operationalization. Second, we examine drivers of strategic forbearance, first by briefly examining those pertaining to the immediate competitive situation and then by extending our analysis to the broader strategic context. It is this latter section of the paper that introduces more mindful and strategic considerations into the domain of competitive dynamics. We conclude with a discussion of the significance of our analysis. 我们的分析结构如下。首先，我们通过必要条件分析来定义容忍行为，以将其与其他形式的回应和无回应区分开来，并提出可操作化的途径。其次，我们考察战略容忍的驱动因素，首先简要考察与即时竞争环境相关的因素，然后将分析扩展到更广泛的战略背景中。正是本文的后一部分将更具反思性和战略性的考量引入了竞争动态领域。最后，我们讨论了我们分析的意义。
THE CONCEPT OF STRATEGIC FORBEARANCE
战略克制的概念
The philosophy of action literature has studied the legal and moral implications of forbearance. Like actions, forbearance can influence outcomes (Green, 1980; Spranca, Minsk, & Baron, 1991). In a business setting, forbearance is a strategic decision that can affect rival behavior and firm performance. For example, when asked whether Sony would cut prices on the PlayStation 4 in response to Microsoft’s price cut on the Xbox One, Kenichiro Yoshida, Sony’s chief financial officer (CFO), said that while Sony knew what Microsoft was doing, Sony had no plans to react. Investors and analysts expected a response to the Microsoft attack, but Sony strategically chose not to engage in a price war by promoting its console through free game downloads (Farooqui, 2015). Similarly, Southwest Airlines chose not to respond to the introduction of no-frills basic economy products by Delta Airlines, United Airlines, and American Airlines. Speaking to financial analysts, Southwest Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Gary Kelly said: “You are not going to see basic economy from Southwest. That’s not what we do …and we’re not going to charge for bag fees. We have, we think, better opportunities that fit our brand” (Schaal, 2019) 行动文学的哲学研究了不作为的法律和道德影响。与行动一样，不作为也能影响结果（Green, 1980；Spranca, Minsk, & Baron, 1991）。在商业环境中，不作为是一种战略决策，可能影响竞争对手的行为和公司业绩。例如，当被问及索尼是否会因微软对Xbox One降价而对PlayStation 4降价时，索尼首席财务官（CFO）Kenichiro Yoshida表示，尽管索尼知道微软的动向，但索尼没有计划做出回应。投资者和分析师预期索尼会对微软的攻击做出回应，但索尼通过免费游戏下载推广其主机，战略性地选择不参与价格战（Farooqui, 2015）。同样，西南航空公司选择不回应达美航空、联合航空和美国航空推出的无附加服务的基础经济舱产品。西南航空首席执行官（CEO）Gary Kelly在向金融分析师发表讲话时表示：“我们不会推出基础经济舱。这不是我们的业务……而且我们不会收取行李费。我们认为，我们有更符合品牌定位的更好机会”（Schaal, 2019）
According to von Wright (1963), decision makers forbear when they are aware of and tempted by action opportunities and are able to or believe they can act but decide not to act. Others provide similar definitions and refer to forbearance as “refraining” from doing something. For example, $A$ refrains from doing $S$ if: “(i) A believes [s]he can do S; and (ii) A does not do S and is aware of this; and (iii) A is inclined to do S; or S is the natural response to an offer or invitation [or a rival attack in our case] which A declines” (Milanich, 1984: 65). Thus, much like actions, forbearance occurs when managers are aware of an attack and can or believe they can develop and execute a countermove. Awareness, here, involves both consciousness of an attack and consideration of a countermove. Strategic forbearance occurs when firms are capable and aware of an attack but refrain from engaging in what might be considered a natural competitive response. 根据冯·赖特（1963）的观点，决策者在意识到行动机会并受到诱惑、能够或相信自己能够采取行动时却决定不行动，这种情况被称为克制。其他人也给出了类似的定义，将克制描述为“不做某事”。例如，A 克制不做 S 的情况是：“（i）A 相信自己能够做 S；并且（ii）A 没有做 S 且意识到这一点；并且（iii）A 倾向于做 S；或者 S 是对提议、邀请（或在我们的案例中是对手的攻击）的自然反应，而 A 拒绝了”（米兰尼奇，1984：65）。因此，与行动类似，克制发生在管理者意识到攻击并能够或相信自己能够制定和执行反击时。这里的“意识到”既包括对攻击的察觉，也包括对反击的考虑。战略克制发生在企业有能力且意识到攻击，但克制不采取可能被视为自然竞争反应的行动时。
Necessary Condition Analysis
必要条件分析
Given that strategic forbearance shares characteristics with both action and inaction, we apply a necessary condition analysis to distinguish it from other options, namely counteraction, word response, and nonresponse (Braumoeller & Goertz, 2000: 846; Dul, 2016). Two logical requisites define necessary condition, meaning that $X$ is a necessary condition of $Y$ when: 鉴于战略克制兼具行动和不作为的特征，我们采用必要条件分析来将其与其他选项（即反制、言语回应和不回应）区分开来（Braumoeller & Goertz, 2000: 846; Dul, 2016）。两个逻辑要件定义了必要条件，即当X是Y的必要条件时：
1 $X$ is always present when $Y$ occurs; 2) The absence of $X$ is sufficient for the absence of $Y .$ . 1 $X$ 总是在 $Y$ 发生时出现；2）$X$ 的缺失足以导致 $Y$ 的缺失。
Counteraction refers to “a clear-cut and discernible counteraction” (Smith et al., 1991: 61) prompted by an initial competitive action by a rival, such as a price cut or new product introduction (Chen & Miller, 2012). Awareness passes both tests for a necessary condition; it is always present when counteraction occurs and its absence prevents counteraction. Capability is also a necessary condition as it is always present when counteraction occurs, and counteraction cannot be developed in its absence. Finally, motivation must be present, and its absence rules out counteraction. In short, awareness, capability, and motivation are all necessary conditions for counteraction to occur. 反击是指“一种清晰可辨的反击”（Smith等人，1991：61），由对手的初始竞争性行动（如降价或推出新产品）（Chen & Miller，2012）引发。意识满足必要条件的两个检验：反击发生时意识总是存在，且意识缺失会阻止反击。能力也是必要条件，因为反击发生时能力总是存在，且能力缺失无法形成反击。最后，动机必须存在，动机缺失会排除反击的可能性。简而言之，意识、能力和动机都是反击发生的必要条件。
Another option is word response—a public statement prompted by a rival’s action that expresses commitments, threats, promises, and warnings that can influence the rival’s expectations, intentions, and actions (Gao et al., 2017). The only necessary condition for word response is awareness. It is always present when word response occurs, however, capability is not. In fact, firms may be incapable of effective counteraction but use words to discredit a rival’s action or urge customers to postpone buying by mentioning upcoming product offerings (Eliashberg & Robertson, 1988; Gao, Yu, & Cannella, 2016; Porter, 1980; Rindova, Becerra, & Contardo, 2004). Similarly, motivation to counteract is not needed for word response. Firms can be unmotivated to counter but express public displeasure about rivals’ actions (Gao et al., 2016). In summary, word response depends on awareness but not on capability or motivation. It can occur whether or not firms are motivated or capable. 另一种选择是言语回应——一种由竞争对手的行动引发的公开声明，表达承诺、威胁、承诺和警告，这些内容会影响竞争对手的期望、意图和行动（Gao等人，2017）。言语回应的唯一必要条件是意识。然而，当言语回应发生时，意识总是存在的，但能力并非如此。事实上，企业可能无法有效反击，但会用言语诋毁竞争对手的行动，或通过提及即将推出的产品来促使客户推迟购买（Eliashberg & Robertson，1988；Gao、Yu & Cannella，2016；Porter，1980；Rindova、Becerra & Contardo，2004）。同样，反击的动机对于言语回应也不是必需的。企业可能没有反击的动机，但会对竞争对手的行动表达公开不满（Gao等人，2016）。总之，言语回应取决于意识，而不取决于能力或动机。无论企业是否有动机或能力，都可能发生言语回应。
Involuntary nonresponse is due to the inability of firms to develop a countermove. Neither awareness, capability, nor motivation are necessary for involuntary nonresponse. The absence of awareness or capability does not rule out involuntary nonresponse but rather may provoke it. When firms are unable to execute an attack, they unwillingly fail to respond despite being aware and motivated to retaliate. Thus, involuntary nonresponse occurs when either awareness or capability (or both) are absent. Finally, involuntary nonresponse can occur when motivation is present (e.g., motivated but incapable) but also when it is absent (e.g., incapable and unmotivated). 非自愿无回应是由于企业无法制定应对措施。意识、能力或动机都不是非自愿无回应的必要条件。缺乏意识或能力并不会排除非自愿无回应的可能性，反而可能引发这种情况。当企业无法执行攻击时，尽管意识到并愿意进行报复，它们仍会不情愿地未能做出回应。因此，当存在意识缺失或能力缺失（或两者皆有）时，就会发生非自愿无回应。最后，非自愿无回应可能在动机存在时（例如，有动机但无能力）发生，也可能在动机不存在时（例如，无能力且无动机）发生。
Strategic forbearance differs from all of the previous situations and occurs under two necessary conditions: awareness and capability. Awareness is always present; forbearance is a purposeful choice not to counteract, which is possible only when a firm is conscious of an attack. Failing to notice an attack eliminates any possibility of deliberating on whether or not to act. Thus, the absence of awareness prevents forbearance. Furthermore, the ability to countermove must be present. Firms can purposefully choose not to carry out a competitive move only when they are capable of doing so. The lack of capability rules out forbearance as there is no option to act. However, motivation is not present. To the contrary, it occurs when ultimately there is a lack of motivation to respond, despite perhaps some initial temptation. 战略克制与上述所有情况均不同，它发生在两个必要条件下：意识和能力。意识始终存在；克制是一种有意不进行反击的选择，只有当企业意识到攻击时才有可能发生。未能注意到攻击会消除任何考虑是否采取行动的可能性。因此，缺乏意识会阻止克制的发生。此外，必须具备反击的能力。企业只有在有能力采取行动时，才会有意选择不进行竞争性行动。由于没有行动的选择，缺乏能力排除了克制的可能性。然而，动机并不存在。相反，当最终缺乏回应的动机时，即使最初可能有一些诱惑，克制也会发生。
Table 1 compares the unique necessary conditions of forbearance to those of the other outcomes, suggesting that it is not only conceptually but also empirically distinct from involuntary nonresponse, word response, and counteraction. As noted, forbearance manifests when awareness and capability are present. Consequently, it can be operationalized by proxies of each. Indeed, there are numerous indicators of awareness and capability in the literature (Chen, 1996; Chen, Su, & Tsai, 2007; Chen & Miller, 2012). For example, attack visibility, market importance, and firm size have served as proxies of awareness. Slack resources and resource similarity have served as proxies for capability (Chen et al., 2007). Other proxies, such as select top team characteristics and firm identity domains, relate to both awareness and capability (Ferrier, 2001; Livengood & Reger, 2010). In addition, financial indicators, such as assets, revenues, income, slack, and borrowing capacity, can reflect the capability to respond to price cuts, promotions, and product introductions (e.g., Chen & Hambrick, 1995). Another indicator of forbearance may be behavior, such as a firm’s lack of response when similar firms would respond. Of course, executives can be contacted to inquire directly into the drivers of forbearance. The propositions that follow suggest several of these rationales. 表1对比了克制行为与其他结果的独特必要条件，表明克制不仅在概念上，而且在经验上与非自愿无回应、言语回应和反击行为不同。如前所述，当存在意识和能力时，克制行为就会表现出来。因此，它可以通过各自的代理变量来操作化。事实上，文献中有许多关于意识和能力的指标（Chen, 1996；Chen, Su, & Tsai, 2007；Chen & Miller, 2012）。例如，攻击可见性、市场重要性和企业规模已作为意识的代理变量。闲置资源和资源相似性已作为能力的代理变量（Chen et al., 2007）。其他代理变量，如特定高管团队特征和企业身份领域，与意识和能力都相关（Ferrier, 2001；Livengood & Reger, 2010）。此外，财务指标（如资产、收入、利润、闲置资源和借款能力）可以反映企业应对降价、促销和产品推出的能力（例如，Chen & Hambrick, 1995）。克制行为的另一个指标可能是行为，例如当类似企业会做出回应时，某企业却未做出回应。当然，可以联系高管直接询问克制行为的驱动因素。接下来的命题将阐述其中的几个基本原理。

TABLE 2 Considerations for Purposeful Traditional Nonresponse vs. Strategic Forbearance
表2 有目的的传统无应答与战略性容忍的考量因素
DRIVERS OF STRATEGIC FORBEARANCE
战略克制的驱动因素
Two general groups of factors drive purposeful nonresponse: concerns about the immediate competitive situation (the attacker, the attack, and its short-term outcomes) and concerns about the broader context (other parties and rivals, strategic goals, and distal outcomes). The first group of factors provides limited latitude for strategizing and has been explored by others. These factors often induce nonresponse by making it less costly than counteraction, and there is usually little deliberation in coming to that conclusion. For example, many defenders are aware of price attacks and able to counterattack but lack the motivation to engage in price wars; thus, they choose nonresponse (Porter, 1980). Research shows that $5 4 %$ of defenders opt not to counter price attacks and $8 2 %$ of them experience neutral or positive effects on sales, suggesting perhaps that “the decision not to react is managerially sound in the sense that sales protection was not needed” (Steenkamp et al., 2005: 48 [emphasis in original]). Defenders may choose nonresponse simply because it is less costly than reducing prices. Similarly, when competitive attacks are irreversible, attackers cannot retreat if defenders retaliate (Ghemawat & Del Sol, 1998). Even when defenders can respond, the cost of engaging in a prolonged rivalry may exceed that of ceding market share (Chen & MacMillan, 1992). In both situations, managers are primarily concerned with a single attacker and the immediate cost implications of the attack, and they choose nonresponse as the less costly choice. 驱动有目的的不回应的一般因素分为两类：对即时竞争态势（攻击者、攻击行为及其短期结果）的担忧，以及对更广泛背景（其他方和竞争对手、战略目标及远期结果）的担忧。第一类因素为战略制定提供的回旋余地有限，且已被其他学者探讨过。这些因素往往通过使不回应的成本低于反击的成本来促使企业选择不回应，而且在得出这一结论时通常没有太多的深思熟虑。例如，许多防御方清楚价格攻击并能够进行反击，但缺乏参与价格战的动力；因此，他们选择不回应（Porter, 1980）。研究表明，54%的防御方选择不反击价格攻击，且其中82%的企业在销售方面获得了中性或积极的影响，这或许表明“不采取行动的决策在管理层面是合理的，因为销售保护是不必要的”（Steenkamp et al., 2005: 48 [原文强调]）。防御方选择不回应可能仅仅是因为这比降价的成本更低。同样，当竞争性攻击不可逆转时，如果防御方进行报复，攻击者将无法退缩（Ghemawat & Del Sol, 1998）。即使防御方能够回应，长期竞争的成本也可能超过让出市场份额的成本（Chen & MacMillan, 1992）。在这两种情况下，管理者主要关注单一攻击者以及攻击的即时成本影响，并选择不回应作为成本更低的选择。
In this study, we focus on exploring a second group of factors to which firms choose not to respond for more complex, longer-term, and more comprehensive strategic purposes—those for which forbearance provides significant latitude. We argue that managers will often strategically forbear when they look at the broader context of an attack, considering it in the light of parties other than the attacker, longer-term past and future events, and more systemic aspects of strategic cohesiveness and adaptation. Some of these strategic considerations resonate with the notion of relational competition (Chen & Miller, 2012; 2015), whereby competitors take into account the priorities of a multiplicity of stakeholders in formulating competitive action. Table 2 contrasts the traditional nonresponse with the strategic forbearance considerations to be explored in our analysis below. 在本研究中，我们重点探索企业出于更复杂、更长期和更全面的战略目的而选择不回应的第二类因素——在这些因素中，容忍（forbearance）提供了显著的灵活性。我们认为，当管理者审视攻击的更广泛背景时，会经常进行战略性容忍，即结合攻击者之外的其他方、更长期的过去和未来事件，以及战略凝聚力和适应的更系统性方面来考量。其中一些战略考量与关系竞争（relational competition）的概念相呼应（Chen & Miller，2012；2015），即竞争对手在制定竞争行动时会考虑众多利益相关者的优先级。表2对比了传统的不回应与我们在下文分析中探讨的战略性容忍考量。

最终输出：
从无回应到克制
We argue that the notion of forbearance—of strategic nonresponse—makes it possible to connect a common occurrence in competitive interaction to core aspects of mindful competitive strategy. Under forbearance, firms are aware of an attack, capable of responding, and initially do consider a countermove. Attacks threaten and capture managers’ attention, provoking their desire to defend. Such threats may generate stress that restricts information processing and focuses attention on a few central actors and cues, decreasing sensitivity to other parties and circumstances (Staw, Sandelands, & Dutton, 1981) so managers become immersed in an ongoing competitive situation, concentrating on the attacker, the attack, and its immediate outcomes. But sometimes, their more strategic concerns will induce them to transcend the immediate situation to consider the broader context and more distal outcomes (Fujita, 2008). According to Baumeister and Heatherton (1996: 4), “transcendence is a matter of focusing awareness beyond immediate stimuli . a particularly important capability of human consciousness.” It is linked to “higher levels of thinking” (Baumeister, Heatherton, & Tice, 1994: 27) characterized by long-term and broadly meaningful considerations. 我们认为，克制（即战略性不回应）的概念使得能够将竞争互动中的一个常见现象与正念竞争战略的核心方面联系起来。在克制的情况下，企业意识到攻击的存在，有能力做出回应，并且最初确实会考虑反击。攻击会威胁并吸引管理者的注意力，激发他们的防御欲望。这种威胁可能会产生压力，限制信息处理，并将注意力集中在少数核心参与者和线索上，降低对其他方和情况的敏感度（Staw, Sandelands, & Dutton, 1981），因此管理者会沉浸在持续的竞争局势中，专注于攻击者、攻击行为及其直接结果。但有时，他们更具战略性的考量会促使他们超越即时情况，考虑更广泛的背景和更长远的结果（Fujita, 2008）。根据Baumeister和Heatherton（1996: 4）的说法，“超越是一种将意识聚焦于即时刺激之外的能力……这是人类意识的一项特别重要的能力。”它与“更高层次的思维”相关联（Baumeister, Heatherton, & Tice, 1994: 27），其特征是长期且具有广泛意义的考量。
Such transcendence, we argue, is a core aspect of strategy, a manifestation of reflection, deliberation, and “strategic composure,” and a fundamental criterion for distinguishing strategic from tactical competition (Porter, 1996; Rumelt, 2011). 我们认为，这种超越是战略的核心方面，是反思、深思熟虑和“战略镇定”的体现，也是区分战略竞争与战术竞争的基本标准（Porter, 1996; Rumelt, 2011）。
The process of transcendence lessens the dominance of a threatening event by shifting attention to more extended temporal, spatial, and systemic considerations. Accordingly, we focus on drivers that involve (a) distal rather than proximal time intervals—historical and future, (b) multiple actors beyond the attacker, and (c) systemic strategic considerations rather than tactical issues. 超越的过程通过将注意力转移到更广泛的时间、空间和系统性考量上，减轻了威胁事件的主导性。因此，我们关注的驱动因素包括：(a) 远端而非近端的时间间隔——历史和未来，(b) 攻击者之外的多个行为体，以及(c) 系统性战略考量而非战术问题。
We propose five such transcending drivers of strategic forbearance: (a) the intent to mitigate rivalry by respecting past and future interactions with an attacker and its allies, (b) the wish to reap relational benefits by preserving alliance ties with rivals and partners, (c) respect for the norms of other stakeholders, (d) the wish to preserve strategic options, and (e) the need to protect strategic alignment and manage the pace of transition. These drivers differ in their underlying rationales for forbearing and in different measures reflect transcendence toward longer time perspectives, more relevant parties, and more systemic and strategic treatments of the rivalry context. They extend well beyond the awareness, motivation, and capability dimensions employed in many studies of competitive dynamics and situate rivalry within a more comprehensive and realistic strategic context (Chen, 1996; Chen & Miller, 2015). Table 3 juxtaposes these drivers of forbearance with the modes of transcendence and embeds our propositions. 我们提出了五种超越性的战略克制驱动因素：(a) 通过尊重与攻击者及其盟友的过去和未来互动来减轻对抗的意图；(b) 通过维护与对手和合作伙伴的联盟关系来获取关系收益的愿望；(c) 尊重其他利益相关者的规范；(d) 希望保留战略选择的愿望；以及(e) 保护战略一致性和管理过渡速度的需要。这些驱动因素在其克制的基本原理上有所不同，并且不同的衡量标准反映了对更长时间视角、更相关方以及对竞争背景更具系统性和战略性的处理方式的超越。它们远远超出了许多竞争动态研究中采用的意识、动机和能力维度，并将竞争置于更全面和现实的战略背景中（Chen, 1996；Chen & Miller, 2015）。表3将这些克制驱动因素与超越模式并列，并嵌入了我们的命题。
Mitigating Rivalry
减轻竞争
An important driver of forbearance is the intention to de-escalate further rivalry. This causes managers to look beyond an immediate attack by respecting a historical context of less hostile interactions with an attacker and future benefits of not responding. It also involves going beyond the attacker to consider the effect a response might have on other rivals. Might it, for example, cause others to enter the fray? These considerations may make forbearance and its eventual potential benefits attractive options. 克制的一个重要驱动因素是降低进一步对抗的意图。这促使管理者超越眼前的攻击行为，考虑与攻击者之间过往较不敌对的互动历史，以及不回应可能带来的未来收益。此外，这还涉及到超越攻击者本身，考虑回应可能对其他竞争对手产生的影响——例如，这会不会导致其他对手也卷入纷争？这些考量可能会使克制及其最终潜在收益成为具有吸引力的选择。
Transcending time: Forbearing to forestall escalation by respecting past and future competitive interactions with an attacker. In order to defuse, forestall, or de-escalate further rivalry, some firms transcend the duration of an attack to consider a longer-term perspective of past and future competitive interaction. Rivals interact over time, and their past interactions can influence their subsequent competitive behavior. Previous competitive interactions are critical for interpreting a rival’s competitive moves and for evaluating prospects for less conflictual association. Thus, forbearance may be chosen when previous interactions suggest some potential for less avid confrontation and where a focal firm embraces a longer-term, more contextualized view of rivalry and its consequences (Chen & Miller, 2012; 2015). 超越时间：通过尊重与攻击者过去和未来的竞争性互动来克制以阻止升级。为了化解、阻止或进一步缓和竞争，一些企业会超越攻击的持续时间，从更长远的角度考虑过去和未来的竞争性互动。竞争对手会随时间互动，它们过去的互动会影响后续的竞争行为。以往的竞争性互动对于解读竞争对手的竞争行动以及评估建立冲突较少的合作关系的前景至关重要。因此，当以往的互动显示存在潜在的较少激烈对抗的可能，并且焦点企业秉持对竞争及其后果的更长远、更具情境性的看法时，可能会选择克制（Chen & Miller, 2012; 2015）。
Rivals’ interaction history is often long and complex, combining instances of both rivalry and harmonious coexistence which enhances mutual familiarity and norms of reciprocity. Axelrod (1984: 21-22) described a situation during World War I when two well-entrenched battalions that were archenemies developed tacit cooperation through repeated encounters: 竞争对手的互动历史往往漫长而复杂，既包含竞争的实例，也包含和谐共存的实例，这增强了彼此的熟悉度和互惠规范。阿克塞尔罗德（1984：21-22）描述了第一次世界大战期间的一个场景：两个根深蒂固的死敌营队通过反复接触发展出了默契的合作：
In the midst of this bitter conflict, the front-line soldiers often refrained from shooting to kill—provided their restraint was reciprocated by the soldiers on the other side. What made this mutual restraint possible was the static nature of trench warfare, where the same small units faced each other for extended periods of time. The soldiers of these opposing small units actually violated orders from their own high commands in order to achieve tacit cooperation with each other . In particular, the “live and let live” system demonstrates that friendship is hardly necessary for the development of cooperation. Under suitable conditions, cooperation based upon reciprocity can develop even between antagonists. 在这场激烈冲突中，前线士兵常常克制射击——前提是对方士兵也同样克制。这种相互克制得以实现的原因是堑壕战的静态特性，即相同的小部队会长时间对峙。这些对立小部队的士兵实际上违背了己方高层的命令，以实现彼此间的默契合作。特别是“互不侵犯”制度表明，友谊对于合作的发展并非必要。在合适的条件下，基于互惠的合作甚至可以在对立双方之间形成。
TABLE 3 Forbearance Drivers and Modes of Transcendence
表3 克制驱动与超越模式
The example suggests that initially sporadic restraints from attacking or counterattacking may evolve into “clear patterns of mutually understood behavior” (Axelrod, 1984: 83), typically without the need for verbal agreements. Prolonged periods of sustained competitive interaction increase familiarity between rivals and often evolve spontaneously into implicit norms of less aggressive, more tolerant competition. Established norms of competition may engender in a defender a felt obligation to give an attacker the benefit of the doubt and a tendency to judge an attack in a more favorable light. Thus, a defender with a history of competitive interactions with an attacker is more likely to tolerate a transgression. For example, such competition might be focused on dissimilar types of action (Connelly, Lee, Tihanyi, Certo, & Johnson, 2019) or different market segments (Brandenburger & Nalebuff, 1996). 该示例表明，最初偶尔出现的攻击或反击限制可能会演变为“相互理解行为的清晰模式”（Axelrod，1984：83），这种演变通常不需要口头协议。长期持续的竞争互动会增加对手之间的熟悉度，并且往往会自发演变为攻击性更低、更具容忍性的竞争的隐性规范。既定的竞争规范可能会使防御方产生一种感觉上的义务，即给予攻击方疑罪从无的有利判断，并且倾向于以更有利的视角评判攻击行为。因此，与攻击方有竞争互动历史的防御方更有可能容忍违规行为。例如，这种竞争可能集中在不同类型的行动上（Connelly, Lee, Tihanyi, Certo, & Johnson, 2019）或不同的市场细分领域（Brandenburger & Nalebuff, 1996）。
The impact of past interactions (i.e., “the shadow of the past”) is often complemented by “the shadow of the future,” which is an expectation of future repeated interactions (Poppo, Zhou, & Ryu, 2008). When defenders envision continuous competitive interactions over long periods, forbearance is more likely because the expected future returns outweigh any short-term gains of counteraction. Thus, by temporally contextualizing an attack to consider past and future expected interactions, defenders may decide to forbear to avoid escalation and mitigate rivalry. 过去互动的影响（即“过去的阴影”）常常与“未来的阴影”相辅相成，后者是对未来重复互动的预期（Poppo, Zhou, & Ryu, 2008）。当防御者设想长期内持续的竞争性互动时，忍耐的可能性更高，因为预期的未来回报超过了反击的任何短期收益。因此，通过从时间维度将攻击情境化，考虑过去和未来的预期互动，防御者可能会决定忍耐以避免升级并减轻竞争。
Proposition 1a. Forbearance is more likely than counteraction when a defender has past and expected future competitive interactions with an attacker. 命题1a。当防御方过去与攻击方存在且预期未来仍有竞争性互动时，克制比反击更有可能发生。
Transcending beyond the attacker: Forbearing to avoid attacks by other competitors. Assessing whether a counterattack would stimulate future attacks by other rivals can also drive strategic forbearance. For example, an attacker with a powerful ally can motivate forbearance. That ally can be another competitor with which the attacker has developed a formal partnership such as a strategic alliance or an informal relationship to achieve a common objective. According to Heider’s (1958) balance theory, the enemy of a friend tends to be perceived as an enemy. Therefore, responding quickly to an attack can stimulate an attacker and its ally to unite against the responder. In other words, retaliation risks making additional enemies and provoking either more powerful future attacks from the attacker (who obtains reinforcement from its ally) or multiple joint attacks from both the attacker and its ally. 超越攻击者：克制以避免其他竞争对手的攻击。评估反击是否会刺激其他对手未来发动攻击，也会促使战略性克制。例如，拥有强大盟友的攻击者可能会促使对手克制。该盟友可以是攻击者已与其建立正式合作关系（如战略联盟）或非正式关系以实现共同目标的另一个竞争对手。根据海德（1958）的平衡理论，朋友的敌人往往被视为敌人。因此，快速回应攻击可能会刺激攻击者及其盟友联合起来对抗回应者。换句话说，报复有风险会招致更多敌人，并引发攻击者（在其盟友的支持下）未来发动更猛烈的攻击，或攻击者与其盟友联合发动多次攻击。
Other rivals may also enter the fray when rapid retaliation signals that there is excessive competition on a single dimension. This might induce those rivals to adopt novel or differentiated (and therefore more disruptive) strategies, resulting in a potentially dangerous situation for both the defender and the attacker (D’Aveni, 2010). Finally, responding to an attack might create a more hostile competitive environment in an industry by bringing other competitors into the market, such as low-cost foreign producers, for example (D’Aveni, 2010). Thus, by looking beyond a single rival, forbearance can be a means of avoiding competitive conflicts with other rivals. 当快速报复行动表明单一维度上的竞争过于激烈时，其他竞争对手也可能加入竞争。这可能促使这些竞争对手采取新颖或差异化（因此更具颠覆性）的策略，从而给防御方和攻击方都带来潜在的危险局面（D’Aveni，2010）。最后，对攻击的回应可能会通过将其他竞争对手（例如低成本的外国生产商）引入市场，从而在行业中营造出更具敌意的竞争环境（D’Aveni，2010）。因此，通过超越单一竞争对手，克制可以成为避免与其他竞争对手发生竞争冲突的一种手段。
Proposition 1b. Forbearance is more likely when counteraction risks motivating other rivals to adopt more aggressive competitive positions. 命题1b。当抵消风险促使其他竞争对手采取更具侵略性的竞争策略时，容忍行为更有可能发生。
Reaping Relational Benefits
收获关系带来的益处
Strategic forbearance may be driven by managers wishing to maintain or enhance significant collaborative ties with an attacker. A collaborative history with a rival of joint investments, alliances, and initiatives can augment collective interests, producing exchange benefits and even operating dependencies. Forbearance can safeguard those benefits. Similarly, forbearance may occur because a defender looks beyond an attacker to enlist help from other alliance partners. A common alliance partner can improve communication and initiate or salvage collaborative projects between rivals. Here again forbearance is driven by a focus on the historical context, longerterm benefits, and the consideration of parties beyond the attacker. 战略克制可能是管理者希望维持或增强与攻击者的重要合作关系而采取的行动。与竞争对手在联合投资、联盟和倡议方面的合作历史可以增强集体利益，产生交换收益甚至运营依赖。克制可以保护这些收益。同样，克制也可能发生，因为防御者会超越攻击者，争取其他联盟伙伴的帮助。共同的联盟伙伴可以改善沟通，并在竞争对手之间发起或挽救合作项目。在这里，克制再次是由对历史背景、长期利益以及攻击者之外各方的考量所驱动的。
Transcending time: Forbearing to extend the benefits of longer-term collaboration. Strategic forbearance can create relational benefits by preserving collaborative ties with rivals. Previous research has suggested that collaborative relationships can affect the likelihood of competitive attack and response (Gnyawali & Madhavan, 2001). The effect on competitive behavior can be especially strong when rivals form alliances in some parts of their business that involve coordinating mechanisms for dispute resolution, institutionalized interactions, and nonmarket pricing systems (Gulati & Singh, 1998). Such “shared equity” signals mutual commitment and promotes trust between parties which in turn leads to a freer exchange of information (Das & Teng, 1998: 498). 超越时间：克制以延长长期合作的益处。战略性克制可以通过与竞争对手保持合作关系来创造关系收益。先前的研究表明，合作关系会影响竞争性攻击和回应的可能性（Gnyawali & Madhavan，2001）。当竞争对手在其业务的某些部分形成联盟，涉及协调机制、制度化互动和非市场定价系统时，对竞争行为的影响可能尤为强烈（Gulati & Singh，1998）。这种“共享权益”信号相互承诺并促进双方之间的信任，进而导致信息的更自由交流（Das & Teng，1998：498）。
Relationships between rivals become especially strong when they have formed multiple alliances: “An important cause and consequence of such repeat alliances among firms is the emergence of interfirm trust, which obliges partners to behave loyally” (Gulati, 1995: 91). Past collaboration also can lead to interpersonal ties between the managers of the rival firms that facilitate the exchange of information and enhance the predictability of partners’ behavior (Gulati, 1995: 93). For example, Mazda and Ford have collaborated intensively for more than 35 years, forming joint ventures globally. In December 2010, after Ford reduced its stake in Mazda from $1 1 %$ to $3 . 5 %$ , Mazda’s president announced that “his company has no intention of forming a capital alliance with any automaker other than Ford Motor in the global car industry” (Dow Jones Business News, 2010). Even when Ford ended the alliance and sold the remaining $2 . 1 %$ stake in Mazda in November 2015, the companies vowed they would continue to work closely together (EFE News Service, 2015). It is likely that their history of collaboration has led to the development of relational trust (Gulati, 1995) that could not be replaced easily by ties with other rivals. 当竞争对手之间形成多个联盟时，他们之间的关系会变得尤为牢固：“企业间这种重复联盟的一个重要原因和结果是企业间信任的出现，这迫使合作伙伴忠诚行事”（古利蒂，1995：91）。过去的合作还可能在竞争对手公司的管理人员之间形成人际关系纽带，促进信息交流并提高合作伙伴行为的可预测性（古利蒂，1995：93）。例如，马自达和福特已合作超过35年，在全球范围内成立了合资企业。2010年12月，在福特将其在马自达的持股比例从11%降至3.5%后，马自达总裁宣布“他的公司无意在全球汽车行业与福特汽车以外的任何汽车制造商形成资本联盟”（道琼斯商业新闻，2010）。即便福特在2015年11月终止了联盟并出售了剩余的2.1%马自达股份，两家公司仍承诺将继续密切合作（埃菲新闻社，2015）。很可能是他们的合作历史促成了关系信任的发展（古利蒂，1995），而这种信任难以被与其他竞争对手的关系所替代。
The loyalty and trust developed between rivals through repeated collaboration over time may reduce the motivation to retaliate for several reasons: (a) resource investments and dependence on partner resources provide incentives to preserve the relationship, (b) a long-term orientation toward collective interests motivates partners to overlook transgressions (Miller & Le Breton-Miller, 2005), and (c) a shared history and close ties boost the understanding of a partner’s motives and sentiments (McCullough, Rachal, Sandage, Worthington, Brown, & Hight, 1998). Thus, a defender is more likely to forbear from counterattacking a rival to restore and maintain collaborative ties because of resource dependence and the pursuit of collective goals. 随着时间推移，竞争对手之间通过反复合作建立的忠诚和信任可能会降低报复的动机，原因有以下几点：(a) 资源投入以及对合作伙伴资源的依赖促使双方有动机维护这种关系；(b) 对集体利益的长期导向促使合作伙伴忽视违规行为（Miller & Le Breton-Miller，2005）；(c) 共同的历史和密切的联系增强了对合作伙伴动机和情感的理解（McCullough, Rachal, Sandage, Worthington, Brown, & Hight, 1998）。因此，由于资源依赖和对集体目标的追求，防御方更有可能克制反击，以恢复和维持合作关系。
Proposition 2a. Forbearance is more likely than counteraction when a defender has a history of collaboration with the attacker. 命题2a。当防御方有与攻击者合作的历史时，容忍比反击更有可能发生。
Transcending beyond the attacker: Forbearing to get help from common alliance partners. Forbearance may also occur as firms look beyond an attacker, focusing on the broader social context to assess how other parties may react to a countermove. A common alliance partner can increase the likelihood of forbearance through two mechanisms: facilitating communication and aiding collaboration (Obstfeld, Borgatti, & Davis, 2014). First, it can facilitate communication between rivals about the true intent behind an attack. Some attacks are complex, directed toward multiple competitors, involve several markets, and employ a wide range of competitive actions. A defender may struggle to decipher an attacker’s intentions and wrongly perceive a competitive attack to be hostile. A common alliance partner can play a brokerage role here, conveying information between attacker and responder to prevent misinterpretation (Obstfeld, 2005). Instead of retaliating, a defender may consider how such a partner might improve communication with an attacker and de-escalate rivalry. 超越攻击者：克制向普通联盟伙伴寻求帮助。克制也可能出现在企业超越攻击者的情况下，专注于更广泛的社会背景，以评估其他方对反击行动的可能反应。普通联盟伙伴可以通过两种机制增加克制的可能性：促进沟通和协助协作（Obstfeld, Borgatti, & Davis, 2014）。首先，它可以促进竞争对手之间就攻击背后的真实意图进行沟通。有些攻击很复杂，针对多个竞争对手，涉及多个市场，并采用广泛的竞争行动。防御方可能难以解读攻击者的意图，并错误地将竞争性攻击视为敌意行为。普通联盟伙伴在这里可以发挥经纪人作用，在攻击者和回应方之间传递信息，防止误解（Obstfeld, 2005）。防御方可能不会进行报复，而是考虑这样的伙伴如何改善与攻击者的沟通，缓和竞争关系。
Second, a common alliance partner may induce rivals to collaborate because it possesses knowledge of their complementary capabilities (Brandenburger & Nalebuff, 1996; Obstfeld, 2012). By presenting such collaborative opportunities, it can reduce competitive tension. Its motivation to do so may stem from the resource commitments it has to each party and the risk of endangering its relationship with either party when they are in conflict (Heider, 1958). Being mindful of this association with a common partner may encourage forbearance. 其次，一个共同的联盟伙伴可能会促使竞争对手进行合作，因为它了解竞争对手互补的能力（Brandenburger & Nalebuff，1996；Obstfeld，2012）。通过提供此类合作机会，它可以减轻竞争紧张。这样做的动机可能源于它对每一方的资源投入，以及当双方发生冲突时危及与任何一方关系的风险（Heider，1958）。意识到与共同伙伴的这种关联可能会鼓励克制。
Proposition 2b. Forbearance is more likely than counteraction when a defender shares a common alliance partner with the attacker. 命题2b：当防御方与攻击方有共同的联盟伙伴时，克制比反击更有可能发生。
Preserving Norms with Other Stakeholders
与其他利益相关者共同维护规范
Thus far, our analysis has touched upon norms of reciprocity with an attacker. However, forbearance may also result when managers take into account the norms and expectations of various stakeholders internal to an organization or within its social community. 到目前为止，我们的分析已经涉及到与攻击者之间的互惠规范。然而，当管理者考虑到组织内部或其社会社区内各种利益相关者的规范和期望时，也可能会出现克制的情况。
Transcending to a broader strategic context: Forbearing to honor valued stakeholder norms. In their discussions of relational competition, Chen and Miller (2012; 2015) have reminded us that competition between two parties often has critical implications for other stakeholders and that these must be taken into account when considering if and how to respond. Forbearance provides the opportunity for such reflection and in fact may be its product. Competition takes place within a complex market context. It involves different kinds of stakeholders (e.g. customers, suppliers, shareholders, regulators, and the community) that are connected to a greater or lesser degree (Freeman, Harrison, Wicks, Parmar, & De Colle, 2010). Under forbearance, defenders have more time and latitude to take into account all of these parties in deciding whether and how to respond to a competitive attack. 超越到更广泛的战略背景：克制以尊重有价值的利益相关者规范。在讨论关系竞争时，Chen 和 Miller（2012；2015）提醒我们，双方之间的竞争往往对其他利益相关者产生重大影响，在考虑是否以及如何回应时必须考虑到这些影响。克制为这种反思提供了机会，事实上也可能是反思的产物。竞争在复杂的市场环境中发生。它涉及不同类型的利益相关者（例如客户、供应商、股东、监管机构和社区），这些利益相关者之间的联系程度有高有低（Freeman, Harrison, Wicks, Parmar, & De Colle, 2010）。在克制的情况下，防御方有更多时间和自由度来考虑所有这些方，以决定是否以及如何回应竞争性攻击。
Stakeholder reactions can be important factors in considering a competitive response. For example, an aggressive response may alert third parties, such as regulators, about the possibility of unfair competition if a defender has a large share of the market or of collusion where a matching response occurs between same-size competitors (Frass & Greer, 1977). Similarly, a strong response might erode a firm’s reputation among customers by its being painted as an unfair predator (Freeman et al., 2010; Rindova et al., 2004). An active response may also cause product redesigns or cost reductions that alienate customers, disrupt supply chains, fuel labor problems, and threaten product quality (Kuester, Homburg, & Robertson, 1999; Romanelli & Tushman, 1994). 利益相关者的反应可能是考虑竞争性回应时的重要因素。例如，如果防御方在市场中占据较大份额，或者在规模相当的竞争对手之间出现对等回应时存在合谋行为，那么积极的回应可能会向监管机构等第三方发出不公平竞争的可能性警报（Frass & Greer, 1977）。同样，强烈的回应可能会因被描绘成不公平的掠夺者而损害企业在客户中的声誉（Freeman et al., 2010; Rindova et al., 2004）。积极的回应还可能导致产品重新设计或成本削减，从而疏远客户、扰乱供应链、加剧劳资问题，并威胁产品质量（Kuester, Homburg, & Robertson, 1999; Romanelli & Tushman, 1994）。
In September 2016, after Sprint and T-Mobile offered unlimited data packages at a lower price, Verizon’s CFO said: “At the end of the day, people don’t need unlimited plans … T-Mobile and Sprint have introduced cheaper plans in exchange for slowing the connection and lower-resolution video.” Verizon said it could match the offer but chose forbearance because unlimited plans would hurt product quality. Its forbearance also signaled Verizon’s unwillingness to engage in a price war, with the CFO stating that the industry “cannot make money on an unlimited video world” (Cheng, 2016). 2016年9月，在Sprint和T-Mobile推出价格更低的无限流量套餐后，Verizon的首席财务官表示：“归根结底，人们并不需要无限流量套餐……T-Mobile和Sprint推出了更便宜的套餐，但这是以降低连接速度和视频分辨率为代价的。”Verizon表示它可以匹配这一优惠，但选择了克制，因为无限流量套餐会损害产品质量。其克制态度也表明Verizon不愿卷入价格战，首席财务官称该行业“无法在无限视频的世界中盈利”（Cheng，2016）。
Product quality was also a concern when McDonald’s chose not to respond to Burger King’s introduction of new French fries with $3 0 %$ fewer calories. McDonald’s spokeswoman Ofelia Casillas wrote: “We know that our customers love McDonald’s iconic world famous fries and we remain focused on serving them to our McDonald’s 69 million customers every day around the world” (Smith, 2013). 当麦当劳选择不回应汉堡王推出卡路里减少30%的新薯条时，产品质量也是一个关注点。麦当劳发言人奥费莉亚·卡西亚斯写道：“我们知道我们的顾客喜爱麦当劳标志性的全球闻名的薯条，我们将继续专注于每天为全球6900万麦当劳顾客提供薯条”（Smith，2013）。
Stakeholders, such as investors, customers, and other interest groups, have certain expectations about what is an appropriate competitive response, which in turn can influence top managers’ strategic decisions (Chen & Miller, 2012; 2015; Rindova et al., 2004). For example, in established family firms operating in local community environments, there is frequently a great reluctance for the family owners to behave in a competitively aggressive manner (Miller & Le Breton-Miller, 2005). They strive to preserve their reputation in the close community in which they are embedded and believe that any type of strident response could hurt them in the long run. When the dominant norm in a competitive setting is forbearance, acting forcefully may represent a violation in the eyes of key stakeholders. Moreover, its negative consequences are judged more harshly than any negative outcomes from forbearing (Kahneman & Miller, 1986). This phenomenon is known as omission bias, referring to “a greater willingness to accept harms from omission, the default, than harms from action” (Baron & Ritov, 2004: 75). 利益相关者（如投资者、客户和其他利益群体）对何种竞争反应是恰当的抱有特定期望，而这反过来又会影响高层管理者的战略决策（Chen & Miller, 2012; 2015; Rindova et al., 2004）。例如，在当地社区环境中运营的成熟家族企业中，家族所有者往往极不情愿采取具有竞争性的激进行为（Miller & Le Breton-Miller, 2005）。他们努力维护自己在所处紧密社区中的声誉，并认为任何尖锐的反应从长远来看都可能对他们造成损害。当竞争环境中的主导规范是克制时，采取强硬手段在关键利益相关者眼中可能被视为违规行为。此外，其负面后果会比克制行为带来的任何负面结果受到更严厉的评判（Kahneman & Miller, 1986）。这种现象被称为“不作为偏差”，指的是“更愿意接受不作为（默认状态）带来的伤害，而非作为带来的伤害”（Baron & Ritov, 2004: 75）。
Although perhaps less salutary for strategic outcomes, managers may favor forbearance over counteraction for political reasons—the expectations and norms of powerful stakeholders. Conversely, action could be favored when forbearance violates those norms (Bar-Eli, Azar, Ritov, Keidar-Levin, & Schein, 2007). Where forbearance is the norm, stakeholders such as shareholders are more likely to attribute the negative outcomes of counteraction to managers’ incompetence, and to attribute the negative outcomes of forbearance to situational factors (Kahneman & Miller, 1986: 150). Thus, managers may feel more regret from the failures of norm-deviating actions than those from forbearance. In addition, they will tend to regret failed actions more than failed forbearances because they can compare outcomes when action is taken, but less so otherwise. To avoid the anticipated regret and blame, managers may choose forbearance over counteraction (Anderson, 2003). Therefore, established norms in the competitive context and stakeholders’ pressure to conform to those norms may favor forbearance over counteraction. 尽管这可能对战略成果不太有利，但管理者可能出于政治原因（即强大利益相关者的期望和规范）而倾向于容忍而非采取行动。相反，当容忍违反了这些规范时，采取行动可能会更受青睐（Bar-Eli、Azar、Ritov、Keidar-Levin & Schein，2007）。在容忍成为规范的情况下，股东等利益相关者更可能将采取行动带来的负面结果归咎于管理者的无能，并将容忍带来的负面结果归咎于情境因素（Kahneman & Miller，1986：150）。因此，管理者可能会从偏离规范的行动失败中感到比容忍失败更多的悔恨。此外，他们往往会更后悔失败的行动而非失败的容忍，因为在采取行动时他们可以比较结果，而在不采取行动时则难以做到这一点。为了避免预期的悔恨和指责，管理者可能会选择容忍而非采取行动（Anderson，2003）。因此，竞争环境中既定的规范以及利益相关者遵守这些规范的压力可能会使管理者倾向于容忍而非采取行动。
In short, forbearance may occur when a firm’s leaders take into account multiple third-party reactions to a potential response. It can reflect both mindful strategic and political considerations regarding stakeholders beyond an attacker and other industry members. 简而言之，当企业领导者考虑到对潜在回应的多种第三方反应时，可能会出现克制行为。这既反映了对攻击者之外的利益相关者以及其他行业成员的审慎战略考量，也体现了政治考量。
Proposition 3. Forbearance is more likely when counteraction risks violating the norms, priorities and expectations of stakeholders beyond an attacker and other industry members. 命题3。当反制措施有违反攻击者及其他行业成员之外的利益相关者的规范、优先级和期望的风险时，克制行为更有可能发生。
Enhancing Optionality
增强可选性
Strategic forbearance is also driven by the need to reduce uncertainty via real-time learning and preserving the flexibility to direct resources to alternative investment projects (McGrath, 1997). Optionality spans all three forms of transcendence; it requires managers to extend attention beyond the attacker, the attack, and its immediate outcomes toward future opportunities, often in other markets and with other firms. 战略克制也源于通过实时学习减少不确定性的需求，以及保留将资源转向替代投资项目的灵活性（McGrath, 1997）。选择权涵盖了所有三种超越形式；它要求管理者将注意力扩展到攻击者、攻击行为及其直接结果之外，转向未来的机会，这些机会往往存在于其他市场并涉及其他公司。
Transcending from tactics to strategy: Forbearing to preserve strategic options and promote learning. Forbearance may result from deliberations about the future. Where there is uncertainty in the likely consequences of an attack, forbearance allows a defender to keep its options open. It provides two kinds of flexibility: to switch to alternative investment opportunities and to learn about how other rivals, stakeholders, and the market will react to an attacker’s initiative. 从战术到战略的超越：克制以保留战略选择并促进学习。克制可能源于对未来的深思熟虑。当攻击的可能后果存在不确定性时，克制使防御方能够保留其选择的余地。它提供了两种灵活性：一是转向替代投资机会，二是了解其他竞争对手、利益相关者以及市场对攻击者举措的反应。
First, from a real options perspective, a defender’s available and considered countermove is an opportunity but not an obligation to act (Bowman & Hurry, 1993; McGrath, 1997). The benefit of forbearance here is the flexibility to switch to alternative actions when they become available at a later time, thereby avoiding resource commitments to irreversible or costly counteractions (Li, James, Madhavan, & Mahoney, 2007). For example, forbearance buys time for discovering new countermoves or overlooked market segments. It might be especially common when a defender has been considering an alternative means of renewing or building on its existing strategy. Indeed, a firm’s strategy can be seen as “a bundle of options for future strategic choice” (Bowman & Hurry, 1993). Rejecting the option to counterattack may preserve resources for other strategic investments and directions. 首先，从真实期权的角度来看，防御方可用且经过考虑的应对措施是一个机会而非必须采取行动的义务（Bowman & Hurry，1993；McGrath，1997）。此处忍耐的好处在于，当后续出现替代行动时，能够灵活切换，从而避免在不可逆或成本高昂的应对措施上投入资源（Li、James、Madhavan & Mahoney，2007）。例如，忍耐能争取时间以发现新的应对策略或被忽视的市场细分。当防御方一直考虑以新方式更新或拓展现有战略时，这种做法可能尤为常见。事实上，一家公司的战略可以被视为“一系列用于未来战略选择的期权”（Bowman & Hurry，1993）。拒绝反击的期权可能会为其他战略投资和方向保留资源。
Second, responding to an attack entails risks, and any lack of information about the attack’s potency and its ability to inflict damage upon a defender makes a costbenefit analysis of whether to respond difficult (Smith & Cao, 2007). Thus, a defender may choose to forbear in order to learn what the impact of an attack will be. For example, Airbus’s incoming chief executive felt no urge to respond to Boeing’s concept for a new mid-market airplane, stating: “We don’t feel under pressure to react even before Boeing has moved. We will wait and see and observe” (Hemmerdinger, 2019) 其次，回应攻击存在风险，而且如果对攻击的威力及其对防御方造成损害的能力缺乏了解，就会使分析是否回应攻击的成本效益变得困难（Smith & Cao，2007）。因此，防御方可能会选择克制，以了解攻击的影响。例如，空客新任首席执行官并不急于回应波音关于新中型飞机的概念，他表示：“我们甚至在波音行动之前都没有感到有压力去做出反应。我们会拭目以待并观察”（Hemmerdinger，2019）。
This learning occurs by observing responses to rival actions. Will the defender lose clients if it does not respond? Will the technology or type of product or service introduced by the rival succeed or fail? How will other rivals react to the attack? By not responding, firms not only preserve resources, they also learn from rivals’ negative experiences to better avoid their mistakes (Bingham & Davis, 2012). Moreover, they learn from rivals’ successful actions about effective new tactics, new complementary products, or different buyer preferences to develop unique product or service offerings (Shamsie, Phelps, & Kuperman, 2004). Finally, observing how other rivals react to an attack can reveal its broader effects, which may enable defenders to hone their response (Tsai, Su, & Chen, 2011). 这种学习是通过观察对竞争对手行动的回应来实现的。如果防御方不做出回应，是否会失去客户？竞争对手推出的技术、产品或服务类型会成功还是失败？其他竞争对手将如何回应这次攻击？通过不回应，企业不仅能保留资源，还能从竞争对手的负面经验中学习，从而更好地避免其错误（Bingham & Davis, 2012）。此外，它们还能从竞争对手的成功行动中学习，了解有效的新策略、新的互补产品或不同的买家偏好，进而开发出独特的产品或服务（Shamsie, Phelps, & Kuperman, 2004）。最后，观察其他竞争对手对攻击的反应可以揭示其更广泛的影响，这可能使防御方能够完善自己的回应（Tsai, Su, & Chen, 2011）。
In short, we expect managers to prefer forbearance when the benefits of increased flexibility and strategic learning are critical for their firm’s competitive success. 简而言之，我们期望管理者在增加灵活性和战略学习的好处对公司的竞争成功至关重要时，能更倾向于采取容忍的态度。
Proposition 4. Forbearance is more likely than counteraction when defenders want to keep their options open for evolving their business or to learn more about the potential effectiveness of an attack. 命题4。当防御方希望为业务发展保留选择余地，或想更多了解攻击的潜在效果时，克制比反击更有可能发生。
Preserving Strategic Alignment and Pacing Transition
保持战略一致性和节奏过渡
Another driver of forbearance is the desire to preserve strategic alignment and control the pace of evolution, both of which are considerations involving all three forms of transcendence: consistency with the historical pattern of strategic decisions (Mintzberg, 1978), fit with a cohesive organizational configuration (Miller & Friesen, 1984), and unique competitive market positioning (Porter, 1996). 另一个促使忍耐的因素是希望维持战略一致性并控制演变的节奏，这两者都涉及到三种超越形式的考量：与战略决策的历史模式保持一致（明茨伯格，1978）、与具有凝聚力的组织架构相契合（米勒和弗赖森，1984），以及独特的竞争性市场定位（波特，1996）。
Transcending from tactics to strategy: Forbearing to preserve strategic cohesion. Strategies are multivariate constellations of interrelated, often mutually reinforcing, elements (Porter, 1996), and any competitive response must consider how it will impact the overall cohesiveness and internal complementarity of a firm’s strategy, its fit with its internal organization, and its longer-term adaptive requirements (Milgrom & Roberts, 1990; Miller, 2018; Miller & Le Breton-Miller, 2005). 从战术到战略的超越：克制以保持战略凝聚力。战略是相互关联、往往相互强化的要素的多元组合（Porter, 1996），任何竞争性回应都必须考虑其对企业战略整体凝聚力和内部互补性、与内部组织的契合度以及长期适应性需求的影响（Milgrom & Roberts, 1990; Miller, 2018; Miller & Le Breton-Miller, 2005）。
The most effective firm strategies tend to be wellorchestrated configurations evolved over time, such that the elements of the strategy are mutually reinforcing (Miller, 1990, 2018; Miller & Le Breton-Miller, 2005; Porter, 1996). At IKEA, pricing, facility location, store layout, sourcing, self-assembly, and logistics are all part of an integrated strategy (Porter, 1996). All the pieces fit together. Changing any one aspect of the strategy in response to a move from a competitor could throw off the effectiveness of the configuration by destroying the complementarity among its parts (Milgrom & Roberts, 1990; Miller & 最有效的企业战略往往是经过长期演变形成的精心策划的配置，使得战略的各个要素相互强化（Miller, 1990, 2018；Miller & Le Breton-Miller, 2005；Porter, 1996）。在宜家，定价、设施选址、店铺布局、采购、自助组装和物流都属于一体化战略的一部分（Porter, 1996）。所有环节都相互契合。如果为了应对竞争对手的行动而改变战略中的任何一个方面，可能会破坏各部分之间的互补性，从而降低配置的有效性（Milgrom & Roberts, 1990；Miller &
Friesen, 1984). For example, a change in pricing strategy or line breadth might alienate or confuse customers or adversely impact the cost structure. Thus, firms with coherent complementary strategies and with a particular image in the eyes of their customers would have to think hard about whether to respond to any attack as the costs of that response to the coherence of the existing strategy may well exceed the benefits. A response might, for instance, disrupt business models, suppliers, and hierarchies, all of which carry significant risks. Friesen, 1984年）。例如，定价策略或产品线广度的变化可能会疏远或混淆客户，或对成本结构产生不利影响。因此，拥有连贯互补战略且在客户眼中具有特定形象的企业，必须仔细考虑是否要对任何攻击做出回应，因为这种回应对现有战略连贯性的成本可能远超过收益。例如，回应可能会扰乱商业模式、供应商和层级结构，而所有这些都带来重大风险。
Organizational factors must also be considered. Many firms have a coherent set of processes, routines, structural and hierarchical arrangements, cultural attributes, and an identity to preserve. These are costly to change in reaction to rival competitive moves (Miller, 1990, 2018; Porter, 1996). Moreover, organizations are created to support firm strategies and vice versa. Again, there are important complementarities. Thus, when a response to an attack has a significant impact on strategy, this can be highly disruptive to organizational arrangements and participants. Forbearance allows firms to maintain their strategic coherency while at the same time remaining vigilant to further developments in the market. 组织因素也必须加以考虑。许多企业拥有一套连贯的流程、惯例、结构和层级安排、文化属性以及需要维护的身份认同。对竞争对手的竞争性举措做出反应时，这些因素的改变成本高昂（Miller, 1990, 2018；Porter, 1996）。此外，组织的创建是为了支持企业战略，反之亦然。同样，存在重要的互补性。因此，当对攻击的回应对战略产生重大影响时，这可能会对组织安排和参与者造成极大干扰。克制使企业能够在保持战略一致性的同时，继续警惕市场的进一步发展。
Indeed, as noted, responding to an attack requires the expenditure of resources, the cost of which must be compared to the anticipated benefits. These resources may be human, financial, reputational, and relational. For example, some responses might involve introducing new products or services, altering distribution patterns, and developing less advantageous pricing models. That can not only be expensive, but like any significant change, it can also jeopardize reputation (Fombrun, 1995). 事实上，如前所述，应对攻击需要投入资源，而这些资源的成本必须与预期收益进行比较。这些资源可能包括人力、财务、声誉和关系方面的投入。例如，一些应对措施可能涉及推出新产品或服务、改变分销模式以及制定不利的定价模型。这不仅可能代价高昂，而且与任何重大变革一样，还可能损害声誉（Fombrun，1995）。
Of course, forbearance too can sometimes be costly in the long run. For example, market leaders have regularly failed to respond to successful lowend disruptive technologies because it contradicts the expectations of their customers and shareholders, as well as their core strategy (Christensen & Bower, 1996). “Low-end” new products or technologies “take root at the low end of the original or mainstream value network” (Christensen & Raynor, 2003: 46), as when Korean automakers entered the North American market. One key reason for not responding to these technologies had “little to do with technology itself—with its degree of newness or difficulty, relative to the skills and experience of the firm” (Christensen & Bower, 1996: 198). Capable market leaders did not respond because new low-end offerings were initially inferior to established ones and served small markets. Customers and shareholders expected firms to compete with better products and garner higher profit margins (Christensen, 1997), and firms wanted to preserve both their reputation and coherent strategic identity and bide their time until—and if ever—an orchestrated reaction was deemed appropriate. 当然，忍耐有时从长远来看也可能代价高昂。例如，市场领导者经常未能对成功的低端颠覆性技术做出回应，因为这与客户和股东的期望以及他们的核心战略相矛盾（Christensen & Bower，1996）。“低端”新产品或技术“在原始或主流价值网络的低端扎根”（Christensen & Raynor，2003：46），例如韩国汽车制造商进入北美市场时的情况。不回应这些技术的一个关键原因“与技术本身——相对于公司的技能和经验而言，其新颖程度或难度——关系不大”（Christensen & Bower，1996：198）。有能力的市场领导者没有做出回应，是因为新的低端产品最初不如现有产品，且服务于小众市场。客户和股东期望企业以更好的产品竞争并获得更高的利润率（Christensen，1997），而企业希望同时维护其声誉和连贯的战略身份，并等待时机——直到（如果有的话）精心策划的反应被认为是合适的。
McDonald’s has been resisting the move to meatless burgers that rivals like Burger King and others have introduced. CEO Steve Easterbrook said the company has to weigh whether adding plant-based options is “worth it.” McDonald’s has been streamlining its offering to increase speed and efficiency, and selling a meatless burger could interrupt that. Easterbrook said, however, that the company is paying attention to the trend (Weiner-Bronner, 2019). 麦当劳一直抵制推出类似汉堡王等竞争对手已推出的植物肉汉堡。首席执行官史蒂夫·伊斯特布鲁克表示，公司必须权衡增加植物基选择是否“值得”。麦当劳一直在精简产品组合以提高速度和效率，而推出植物肉汉堡可能会打乱这一进程。不过，伊斯特布鲁克称，公司正在关注这一趋势（Weiner - Bronner，2019）。
Proposition 5a. Forbearance is more likely when defenders anticipate that a counteraction will clash with their core strategic configuration and involve significant financial and reputational resources. 命题5a。当防御方预期反击行动会与其核心战略配置相冲突，并涉及大量财务和声誉资源时，容忍行为更有可能发生。
Transcending from tactics to strategic evolution: Forbearing to pace transition. Environments change and firms must adapt to them. But, as noted, given the cohesiveness of strategies, piecemeal changes intended to respond to an attack can be costly in their impact on strategic cohesiveness and organizational alignment (Miller, 2018; Miller & Friesen, 1984). Thus, Milgrom and Roberts (1990) have argued that organizational adaptation can be most effective when it follows a model of punctuated equilibrium. Firms remain in a relatively stable state or one of internal alignment for long periods of time, followed by rarer, shorter, and more turbulent periods of revolutionary, quantum, or second-order change (Miller & Friesen, 1984; Romanelli & Tushman, 1994). As suggested above, forbearance might be especially common during these periods of stability or very gradual evolution to avoid destroying complementarities and also perhaps to husband resources for periods of more dramatic change (Romanelli & Tushman, 1994). 从战术到战略演进的超越：克制以实现过渡。环境在变化，企业必须适应。但如前所述，由于战略的凝聚力，为应对攻击而进行的零碎变革可能会对战略凝聚力和组织一致性产生重大影响（Miller, 2018；Miller & Friesen, 1984）。因此，Milgrom和Roberts（1990）认为，组织适应在遵循间断平衡模型时最为有效。企业会长时间保持相对稳定的状态或内部一致的状态，随后是较为罕见、短暂且更为动荡的革命性、量子性或二阶变化时期（Miller & Friesen, 1984；Romanelli & Tushman, 1994）。如上所述，在这些稳定期或非常渐进的演进阶段，克制可能尤为常见，以避免破坏互补性，或许也是为了在更剧烈变化的时期节省资源（Romanelli & Tushman, 1994）。
In a competitive context, therefore, it may be best at times to forbear to pace adaptation and not respond to too many competitive attacks, which would be uneconomical and disruptive. Instead, as they become increasingly less aligned to their environments, firms may decide to undergo a very significant strategic change that takes into account multiple past attacks and formulates a new strategic direction that responds to several of these. In other words, firms forbear on making response-driven changes. Afterward, they are in a better position to evaluate the collective implications of multiple attacks that have occurred and to determine whether and how to react to them via a significant strategic transformation involving multiple changes to build a new cohesive constellation of strategic and organizational factors. 因此，在竞争环境中，有时最好克制适应性调整的步伐，不回应过多的竞争性攻击，因为这些攻击会不经济且具有破坏性。相反，当企业与自身环境的契合度越来越低时，它们可能会决定进行重大的战略变革，该变革会考虑到多次过去的攻击，并制定一个新的战略方向以应对其中的若干攻击。换句话说，企业会克制基于回应的变革。之后，它们将更有条件评估多次攻击带来的综合影响，并通过涉及多项变革的重大战略转型来确定是否以及如何应对这些攻击，从而构建一个新的、具有凝聚力的战略和组织要素组合。
Proposition 5b. Forbearance is more likely when defenders are in an internally well-aligned state of equilibrium; they are more willing to react, perhaps to a selection of attacks, during periods of strategic transformation. 命题5b。当防御方处于内部高度一致的平衡状态时，他们更有可能采取克制；在战略转型期间，他们可能更愿意对一系列攻击做出反应。
DISCUSSION
讨论
Firms sometimes respond to attacks by counteracting and sometimes by issuing public warnings and threats. Yet some defenders very intentionally choose to do nothing despite being able to counterattack and knowing they have the opportunity to do so. We have argued that many firms choose not to retaliate for strategic reasons. They engage in strategic nonresponse or forbearance which provides them with the latitude for strategizing and deliberation. We have proposed that forbearance is driven by three forms of transcendence in contemplating a response: expanding time perspectives to consider both historical and longterm issues, considering a variety of stakeholders and rivals versus only an attacker, and moving from tactical responses to more comprehensive systemic considerations of strategic cohesion and adaptation. Our analysis provides insight into these more farsighted relational and strategic responses to competitive attacks by considering a wider range of factors—drivers of nonresponse that are quite distinct from the drivers of response that have been the focus of the competitive dynamics literature thus far. 企业有时会通过反击来应对攻击，有时则会发出公开警告和威胁。然而，有些防御方明知有机会反击，却仍故意选择不采取任何行动。我们认为，许多企业出于战略原因选择不进行报复。它们采取战略非回应或克制的做法，这为其提供了制定战略和进行深思熟虑的空间。我们提出，克制源于在考虑回应时的三种超越形式：扩展时间视角，同时考虑历史和长期问题；考虑多种利益相关者和对手，而非仅关注攻击者；以及从战术回应转向对战略凝聚力和适应性的更全面的系统性考量。我们的分析通过考虑更广泛的因素，深入洞察了企业对竞争性攻击的这些更具远见的关系性和战略性回应——这些非回应的驱动因素与迄今为止竞争动态文献中所关注的回应驱动因素截然不同。
We have tried to shed light on the neglected role of forbearance in competitive interactions, suggesting that the absence of counteraction can sometimes be more effective than actions and words. Whereas counteraction entails retaliation and confrontation, forbearance can signal accommodation, cooperation, strategic composure, and farsightedness, as well as stakeholder-oriented reflection. For example, when firms purposefully refrain from reacting to attacks by rivals, they may encourage a mutually beneficial relationship. Through forbearance, they may preserve valuable resources for more strategic purposes. Forbearance may also provide defenders the latitude for greater strategic composure—that is, paying closer attention to the integrity of a strategic configuration, analyzing the impact a response would have on that configuration, and considering more deeply the long-term evolution of the business (Miller, 1990), the options for new strategic initiatives (Li et al., 2007), and the consequences of a response for all stakeholders (Chen & Miller, 2012, 2015). Of course, as noted, forbearance can also be caused by a manager’s political interests and inertia that is less than functional (Allison, 1971; Christensen, 1997). 我们试图揭示克制在竞争性互动中被忽视的作用，认为不采取反击有时比行动和言语更有效。与反击需要报复和对抗不同，克制可以传达包容、合作、战略冷静和远见，以及以利益相关者为导向的反思。例如，当企业有意不回应竞争对手的攻击时，可能会促进互利的关系。通过克制，它们可能会为更具战略性的目的保留宝贵资源。克制还可以为防御方提供更大战略冷静的空间——即更密切地关注战略配置的完整性，分析回应对该配置的影响，并更深入地考虑企业的长期发展（Miller，1990）、新战略举措的选择（Li等人，2007）以及回应对所有利益相关者的后果（Chen & Miller，2012，2015）。当然，如前所述，克制也可能由管理者的政治利益和功能性不足的惯性引起（Allison，1971；Christensen，1997）。
The concept of forbearance complements the multidimensional, long-term-oriented relational framework of competitive interactions that Chen and Miller (2015: 762) proposed: “The competitive—- cooperative view represents a different approach to gaining advantage. It stipulates that firms may cooperate in a variety of ways.” In this respect, forbearance is a tool for stimulating cooperation with rivals. The aim is neither to destroy nor to help a rival; rather, the aim is to take a long-term view and cooperate when that is beneficial for the firm. We hope that our transcendence framework will stimulate researchers to explore fresh paths for managers to avoid confronting rivals and adopt a more socially, temporally, and strategically embedded perspective.

Implications for Research
对研究的启示
Our analysis has conceptual, empirical, and methodological implications for further research. Previous research has examined drivers of involuntary nonresponse and purposeful nonresponse that focused narrowly on a specific attacker, attack, and immediate outcomes. These approaches emphasized the negative performance implications of nonresponse. By contrast, our study sheds light on a potentially beneficial competitive option: strategic forbearance. We have suggested some of its multifaceted drivers as well as its transcendence toward longer time horizons, more stakeholders, and more strategic versus tactical concerns—all of which can be advantageously explored by other researchers. 我们的分析对进一步研究具有概念、实证和方法学层面的意义。先前的研究考察了非自愿无回应和有目的无回应的驱动因素，但这些研究仅聚焦于特定的攻击者、攻击行为及其即时后果。这些方法强调了无回应对绩效的负面影响。相比之下，我们的研究揭示了一种潜在有益的竞争选择：战略性克制。我们探讨了其多方面的驱动因素，以及它向更长时间跨度、更多利益相关者和更具战略性而非战术性考量的方向延伸——所有这些都可以被其他研究者有利地探索。
Our propositions can serve to launch platforms to stimulate further theoretical work on different drivers of forbearance, the conditions that foster them, and their performance implications. They can also serve as preliminary starting points for empirical analysis. Such research may advance our understanding of the context of rivalry by disclosing the role of historical factors, actors beyond an attacker and defender, and the importance of strategic flexibility and alignment. 我们的主张可以用来搭建平台，以激发针对不同容忍驱动因素、促进这些因素的条件及其绩效影响的进一步理论研究。它们也可以作为实证分析的初步起点。这类研究可能通过揭示历史因素的作用、攻击者和防御者之外的其他行为体，以及战略灵活性和一致性的重要性，来增进我们对竞争背景的理解。
Future research questions might include: What is the role of past competitive interactions with rivals, alliance partners, and stakeholders in choosing whether or not to counterattack? What are the repercussions of that choice? When will forbearance be interpreted as weakness? When is it most critical that a counterattack fits with existing strategies and evolutionary trajectories? How does the prospect of forbearance by a defender impact a decision to attack? 未来的研究问题可能包括：过去与竞争对手、联盟伙伴和利益相关者的竞争性互动在选择是否反击中扮演什么角色？这种选择会带来什么后果？何时克制会被解读为软弱？何时反击与现有战略和发展轨迹相契合最为关键？防御方克制的可能性如何影响进攻决策？
Our transcendence framework also raises another important question regarding why and when managers fail to transcend an immediate threat. Social psychologists have found that individuals differ in their preferences for immediate over delayed outcomes, ability to overcome proximate temptations, and capacity to attend to long-range concerns (Baumeister & Heatherton, 1996; Fujita, 2008). Future studies could investigate why managers or their teams vary in their capacities to resist impulses and avoid fixating upon immediate threats (Baumeister, Vohs, & Tice, 2007; Staw, Sandelands, & Dutton, 1981). Do demography, personal experience, or resources play a role? What are the consequences of these preferences and capacities for forbearance and its outcomes? 我们的超越框架还提出了另一个重要问题，即管理者为何以及何时会无法超越眼前的威胁。社会心理学家发现，个体在对即时结果与延迟结果的偏好、克服近期诱惑的能力以及关注长远问题的能力上存在差异（Baumeister & Heatherton, 1996; Fujita, 2008）。未来的研究可以探究管理者或其团队在抵制冲动和避免专注于眼前威胁的能力上为何存在差异（Baumeister, Vohs, & Tice, 2007; Staw, Sandelands, & Dutton, 1981）。人口统计学因素、个人经历或资源是否会发挥作用？这些偏好和能力对克制及其结果有何影响？
Outcomes of strategic forbearance. In a series of experiments, Axelrod (1984: 113) showed that competitive interactions initiated by a decision to forbear generated superior outcomes. Forbearance was also an effective tool for restoring cooperation and increasing performance after a competitive attack. Both results suggest that managers who “enlarge the shadow of the future” can benefit from forbearance by garnering longer-term advantages from cooperation and reduced rivalry. Our analysis further suggests that forbearance can improve firm performance by economizing on resources, preserving strategic coherence, aligning better with stakeholder priorities, retaining collaborative ties with partners, and enhancing flexibility by keeping options open. Future research might therefore examine the effects of single and multiple forbearances on a firm’s competitive repertoire. By taking into account forbearances, researchers will be able to examine the consequences of competitive moves that were considered but purposefully not carried out (perhaps vis-à-vis those that were carried out). Our analysis suggests that firms might usefully balance competitive actions with forbearances to enhance firm performance. Indeed, performance can easily falter if a firm reacts on every occasion without mindfully assessing how its actions meld with the competitive setting, rival behavior, and firm strategy (Andrevski & Ferrier, 2019). Forbearance might also constitute a source of competitive differentiation by avoiding head-to-head rivalry and exploring opportunities for creating new market segments and action types (Brandenburger & Nalebuff, 1996; Connelly et al., 2019). 战略克制的结果。在一系列实验中，阿克塞尔罗德（1984：113）表明，因决定克制而引发的竞争性互动产生了更优的结果。克制也是在竞争性攻击后恢复合作并提高绩效的有效工具。这两个结果都表明，能够“扩大未来的阴影”的管理者可以通过克制从合作中获得长期优势并减少竞争，从而受益。我们的分析进一步表明，克制可以通过节约资源、保持战略连贯性、更好地与利益相关者的优先事项保持一致、保留与合作伙伴的协作关系，以及通过保留选择空间来增强灵活性，从而提高企业绩效。因此，未来的研究可能会考察单次和多次克制对企业竞争策略组合的影响。通过考虑克制因素，研究人员将能够考察那些被考虑但故意未实施的竞争性行动（可能与实际实施的行动相对照）的后果。我们的分析表明，企业或许可以通过平衡竞争性行动与克制来提升企业绩效。事实上，如果企业在每个场合都做出反应，而不审慎评估其行动如何与竞争环境、竞争对手行为和企业战略相融合，绩效很容易下滑（Andrevski & Ferrier，2019）。克制还可能通过避免正面竞争并探索创造新市场细分和行动类型的机会，成为竞争差异化的来源（Brandenburger & Nalebuff，1996；Connelly et al.，2019）。
Researchers could also examine how firms can combine forbearance with collaborative actions to improve their competitive position. For example, a forbearing firm might collaborate with its other rivals to prevent a future attack. The sequencing of forbearance with word responses and counteraction also merits analysis. When forbearance fails, can words be used to clarify intent? And how do these different responses affect performance? Counteraction may produce immediate benefits by neutralizing an attack (Boyd & Bresser, 2008; Derfus, Maggitti, Grimm, & Smith, 2008), while forbearance generates longer-term relational and strategic benefits. 研究人员还可以研究企业如何将容忍策略与合作行动相结合，以提升自身的竞争地位。例如，一家采取容忍策略的企业可能会与其竞争对手合作，以防止未来的攻击。容忍策略与言语回应及反击行动的先后顺序也值得分析。当容忍策略失效时，是否可以通过言语来明确意图？以及这些不同的回应方式会如何影响绩效？反击行动可能通过中和攻击产生即时收益（Boyd & Bresser, 2008；Derfus, Maggitti, Grimm, & Smith, 2008），而容忍策略则能带来更长期的关系和战略收益。
Such research into forbearance may condition previous findings. For example, in a multimarket rivalry, a defender may wish to counterattack in other common markets (Chen, 1996). However, a history of collaboration may reduce that motivation, with de-escalation via forbearance being a better longer-term option. Also, competitive attacks on identity domains by historical rivals have been found to increase the motivation to retaliate (Kilduff et al., 2010; Livengood & Reger, 2010). Forbearance may mitigate this effect. We believe that further study of such issues will bring scholars of competitive dynamics closer to the heart of mindful, reflective competitive strategy. 对这种克制行为的研究可能会影响先前的研究结果。例如，在多市场竞争中，防御方可能希望在其他共同市场进行反击（Chen，1996）。然而，合作的历史可能会降低这种动机，通过克制实现降级是更好的长期选择。此外，历史对手对身份领域的竞争性攻击已被发现会增加报复的动机（Kilduff等人，2010；Livengood & Reger，2010）。克制可能会减轻这种影响。我们认为，对这类问题的进一步研究将使竞争动态领域的学者更接近审慎、反思性竞争战略的核心。
Methodological implications. Our study has important methodological implications. As noted, proxies can be used to operationalize the two necessary conditions for strategic forbearance: awareness and capability. A robust set of proxies can substantiate both these conditions. However, we have referred to a complex set of drivers of forbearance that extend far beyond awareness and capability. Inquiring into such rationales warrants more finegrained qualitative research, perhaps via interviews with managers and analysts and by searching textual databases. Polling industry experts can provide useful insights, as can related content analyses of firmrelated texts and survey-based data (e.g., Chen et al., 2007) 方法学意义。我们的研究具有重要的方法学意义。如前所述，代理变量可用于将战略克制所需的两个必要条件（即认知和能力）进行操作化。一套可靠的代理变量能够证实这两个条件。然而，我们提到了一系列复杂的克制驱动因素，这些因素远远超出了认知和能力的范畴。探究此类理由需要更细致的定性研究，或许可以通过对管理者和分析师的访谈，以及搜索文本数据库来实现。对行业专家进行调研可以提供有用的见解，对公司相关文本的内容分析以及基于调查的数据（例如，Chen等人，2007）也能提供类似的帮助。
Implications for Practice
实践意义
Knowing “when to fight and when not to fight” (Tzu, 2002: 51) is one of the foundations of forming a successful strategy. The competitive dynamics literature thus far has provided limited insights into the advantages of not fighting—in other words, of strategic forbearance. Our framework encourages managers to transcend any immediate threat from a rival and thereby attend to competitive implications from multiple actors beyond the attacker, longerterm benefits over short-term costs, and systemic, strategic considerations versus tactics. Indeed, managers should consider forbearance as a potentially useful tool in their competitive arsenal, offering benefits such as competitive de-escalation, enhanced strategic optionality, improved fit with existing strategic orientations and capabilities, as well as alignment with stakeholders’ expectations and better pacing of transformation and adaptation. 懂得“何时战，何时不战”（Tzu，2002：51）是制定成功战略的基础之一。迄今为止，竞争动态学文献对“不战”——即战略克制——的优势提供的见解有限。我们的框架鼓励管理者超越竞争对手的任何直接威胁，从而关注来自攻击者之外的多个参与者的竞争影响、长期收益而非短期成本，以及系统性的战略考量而非战术。事实上，管理者应将克制视为其竞争策略库中可能有用的工具，它能带来诸如竞争降级、增强战略选择权、更好地契合现有战略方向和能力，以及与利益相关者期望一致和更好地调整转型与适应等好处。
Finally, managers must realize that the absence of a response by a competitor may not in fact be an indication of weakness but rather a signal of a desire for more harmonious competition or a sign that those rivals are competing on alternative dimensions that may be worth further investigation. In considering whether to launch an attack, managers can use our transcendence framework to assess a defender’s incentive to forbear. Making a public statement or otherwise signaling a rival can aid in developing a more constructive competitive relationship (Gao et al., 2016). In short, our analysis suggests that rivalry can be highly complex and that competitive decisions open up a wide range of challenges and opportunities. 最后，管理者必须意识到，竞争对手未作出回应，实际上可能并不表明其处于弱势，反而可能是渴望更和谐竞争的信号，或者表明这些对手正在其他可能值得进一步研究的维度上展开竞争。在考虑是否发起攻击时，管理者可以运用我们的超越框架来评估防御者克制的动机。发表公开声明或向竞争对手发出其他信号，有助于建立更具建设性的竞争关系（Gao等人，2016）。总之，我们的分析表明，竞争可能高度复杂，而竞争决策会带来广泛的挑战和机遇。
CONCLUSION
结论
Our analysis has broached the topic of strategic forbearance, which is a decision made by firms not to retaliate to a competitive attack when they are aware and capable of responding. Forbearance is a common yet relatively unexplored occurrence, the consideration of which we hope will motivate scholars of competitive dynamics to pay more attention to a host of strategic factors that underlie mindful, deliberative, and perhaps more effective ways of competing. 我们的分析已经涉及了战略克制这一主题，即企业在意识到自身有能力回应竞争攻击时，选择不进行报复的决策。克制是一种常见但相对未被充分探索的现象，我们希望对其的探讨能促使竞争动态领域的学者更多关注一系列战略因素，这些因素构成了深思熟虑、审慎且可能更有效的竞争方式的基础。
We have proposed that mindful managers may forbear because they wish to transcend the immediate impulse to retaliate and look beyond a single attacker, attack, and its short-term outcomes. Our analysis suggests that competitive interaction between firms takes place within a broader social, temporal, and strategic context—one with critical implications for response. Responses are embedded in a setting that includes market participants and stakeholders, a history of past interactions, and a strategic and organizational configuration that may reasonably condition their nature and impact. At the same time, responses may shape these relationships with rivals, allies, and stakeholders and also the overall cohesiveness of a firm’s strategy and adaptive capacities. 我们提出，有正念意识的管理者可能会克制，因为他们希望超越立即报复的冲动，着眼于单一攻击者、攻击行为及其短期结果之外的情况。我们的分析表明，企业间的竞争互动发生在更广泛的社会、时间和战略背景中——这一背景对应对措施有着重大影响。应对措施嵌入在一个包含市场参与者和利益相关者、过往互动历史以及可能合理影响其性质和效果的战略与组织架构的环境中。同时，应对措施可能会影响与竞争对手、盟友和利益相关者的关系，以及企业战略的整体凝聚力和适应能力。
Forbearance invites reflecting on these broader, more transcendent, factors, extending research beyond the realm of counteraction decisions and the immediate situation. It draws attention to relationships with stakeholders and third-party market participants and how to leverage the competitive environment within which responses take place. It may also stimulate inquiry into the nature and timing of particular responses and their compatibility with a firm’s strategic cohesiveness and future competitive options. 克制促使人们反思这些更广泛、更超越性的因素，将研究拓展到对抗决策和即时情境之外。它关注与利益相关者和第三方市场参与者的关系，以及如何利用回应所处的竞争环境。它还可能引发对特定回应的本质和时机，以及这些回应与其所在企业战略凝聚力和未来竞争选择兼容性的探究。
In the practical sphere, our study encourages managers to go beyond a single attacker, attack, and immediate outcome to consider how a potential counterattack could shape the future behavior of other rivals, allies, and stakeholders. Forbearance may provide managers with the latitude to determine whether the benefits of a counteraction are sufficient to offset the costs of dismantling a cohesive strategy, abandoning an alternative strategic option, or jeopardizing important relationships. We urge further study of this potentially vital strategic tool, which we hope will deepen our knowledge of competitive dynamics and its relationship to key considerations in the broader field of strategy. 在实践层面，我们的研究鼓励管理者超越单一的攻击者、攻击行为和即时结果，转而考虑潜在的反击如何塑造其他竞争对手、盟友和利益相关者的未来行为。克制可能为管理者提供决策空间，以判断采取反击行动的收益是否足以抵消瓦解凝聚力战略、放弃替代战略选择或损害重要关系的成本。我们敦促对这一潜在关键战略工具进行进一步研究，希望这能加深我们对竞争动态及其与更广泛战略领域中关键考量因素关系的理解。
