A Meta-method analysis of time assumptions in competitive dynamics research Abstract: The authors run a meta-method analysis and content analyze 74 empirical articles citing ten seminal articles in competitive actions research to determine how studies define and take time into account in their research design. Different time definitions will be carefully exposed and linked to research published in the field. Weaknesses will be detailed and suggestions for addressing these problems will be provided.
