Abstract: This study examines the heterogeneity of the Greek dairy industry based on 'strategic group theory'. Its objectives are: (1) to define strategic groups within the Greek dairy industry; (2) to examine whether firms move between strategic groups over time and (3) to examine the performance differences among these strategic groups. I use as key strategic variable product differentiation, which is measured by both advertising intensity and number of brands per firm. The results for the period 2002-2011 prove the existence of three strategic groups, based on differentiation within the Greek dairy industry, with certain performance differences.
