Creating and sustaining competetive advantage : the case of Scania

• Scania, the Swedish heavy truck producer, has for a number of years been able to generate profits substantially higher than the industry average. What has made this possible? The study is one out of nine industry studies forming the base for Export Report No 6 of the Swedish Advisory Panel on Productivity. The study is mainly designed and based on Porter´s three levels. The analysis is extended outside Porter's frame of reference, however explanatory variables are presented and discussed at three levels: national level, industry level and company level.
