NVDA_INTC_ POSTURE ANALYSIS
Description
This dataset contains the responses of multiple coders (Coder A, B, C, and D) who independently assessed the strategic posture of two semiconductor companies—NVIDIA (NVDA) and Intel (INTC)—over a 10-year period (2015–2023). The evaluation follows the framework established in Kipley et al.’s Optimal Strategic Performance Position (OSPP) model, based on Ansoff’s Strategic Success Paradigm. Coders rated each of the model’s core dimensions (Environmental Turbulence, Strategic Aggressiveness, and Internal Responsiveness) using a standardized 5-point Likert scale. Each year-company combination was assessed using 65 items reflecting observable strategic behaviors across the three dimensions. The dataset also includes calculated yearly Strategic Posture scores (X1) derived from the coders’ evaluations. The purpose of the dataset is to enable empirical testing of whether strategy-based ratings (X1) provide better predictive power for stock performance (X3) than traditional market analyst ratings (X2). Variables included: Company: NVDA or INTC Year: 2015–2023 Coder ID: A, B, C, D Question Code: Unique identifier for each assessment item Response: Coder rating (1–5) Strategic Posture Score (X1): Final aggregated score for each company-year Analyst Rating (X2): External market-based analyst consensus Stock Return (X3): Monthly or annual return (depending on structure) Coders remained anonymous during data collection to reduce bias, and instructions were standardized through a detailed coding manual. Coder D corresponds to the principal investigator and is excluded from inter-rater reliability analysis.

Steps to reproduce
Steps to Reproduce: Select Target Firms Identify firms to be analyzed. In this dataset, NVIDIA (NVDA) and Intel (INTC) were chosen due to their leadership in the semiconductor industry and the availability of 10 years of strategic and financial data (2014–2023). Define Evaluation Framework Adopt Kipley et al.’s (2012) Optimal Strategic Performance Position (OSPP) model, based on Ansoff’s Strategic Success Paradigm. The model includes three key dimensions: Environmental Turbulence Strategic Aggressiveness Internal Responsiveness Develop Coder Questionnaire Create a standardized questionnaire with 65 items that map observable firm behaviors to the OSPP framework. Each item uses a 5-point Likert scale (1 = Very Low, 5 = Very High). Train Coders Provide coders (A, B, C, D) with a coding manual including detailed descriptions, examples, and firm-specific context to ensure consistent interpretation across years and companies. Data Collection Each coder independently evaluates all 10 years of firm data for both companies using the questionnaire, without access to other coders’ responses. Coder D (the lead researcher) is included for final scoring but excluded from inter-rater reliability analysis. Calculate Strategic Posture Score (X1) For each company-year, aggregate the scores across items and coders to generate a composite Strategic Posture Score (X1). Integrate External Benchmarks Collect Wall Street analyst ratings (X2) and firm stock returns (X3) for the same periods to enable comparative analysis. Compile and Clean Dataset Structure data in panel format, ensuring consistency across coder IDs, years, item codes, and calculated variables.
