Resum	An agent-based model of competitive strategy represents firms as autonomous, heterogeneous, adaptive agents whose decision rules and local interactions generate emergent industry-level dynamics that no single firm designs. Davis, Eisenhardt, and Bingham's 2007 roadmap for developing theory through simulation places this kind of computational modeling in the sweet spot between inductive case research and formal mathematics, well suited to longitudinal, nonlinear, and interactive strategy phenomena. Instead of solving for an equilibrium, the analyst builds firms with strategies, lets them compete over many simulated periods, and studies the market structures, survival patterns, and performance dispersions that emerge. The method gives strategy researchers a controlled laboratory for theory building about competitive dynamics that are too complex and path-dependent for closed-form analysis.	Firm survival and exit analysis applies hazard and duration models to the question of why some firms survive and others fail, treating the age at which a firm exits the market as a time-to-event outcome. Audretsch and Mahmood's 1995 study of more than twelve thousand U.S. manufacturing establishments showed that a hazard function can relate post-entry survival not only to industry and market-structure conditions but to firm-specific characteristics such as size, innovative activity, and scale economies. Geroski's 1995 survey of entry placed this within the broader dynamics of industries, where high entry rates coexist with high exit rates and most entrants fail young. The method gives strategy researchers a rigorous way to measure the instantaneous risk of failure and to identify which firm and environmental factors push it up or down.
