Note(s): This table presents the results of the components of strategic change. Panels A, B, C, D, E and F present results for R&D intensity, advertising intensity, plant and equipment newness, selling, general and administrative expenses, inventory level and debt-to-equity ratio, respectively. We measure the component strategic changes as the absolute value of the annual percentage change of the corresponding variable. Refer to Appendix A for detailed variable definitions. We winsorize all continuous variables at the upper and lower 1% of the sample distribution. ***, ** and * indicate significance at the 1%, 5% and 10% levels, respectively
