Abstract
In this paper, I apply a multilevel model to analyze the strategy of GE Hitachi for the Saudi Arabian market. Based on my interview with the company and textual data I analyze how factors within the industry, inside the firm, and in the institutional context impact upon GE Hitachi’s performance in the Saudia Arabia. I find coopetitive behavior; vertical integration; technology; market-political ambidexterity; energy policy; industrial policy; and security policy to be the most important factors. My research extends Peng et al.’s (2009) strategy tripod by adding variables that enable it to analyze nuclear reactor manufacturers. In a future study, it is relevant to test my hypotheses using a larger sample size.
