Unbundling Competitive Heterogeneity : Incentive Structures & Capability Influences on Technological Innovation
Leiblein, Michael J.; Madsen, Tammy L. - 2014
Many studies argue that the continual creation of new ideas by small and young firms steadily destroys the competitive positions of their larger, more established rivals. Despite this attention, empirical results relating firm size to innovation remain exceedingly fragile. This paper proposes...

Temporary and permanent technology lock-ins in the quality-differentiated Bertrand competition
Bondarev, Anton; Krysiak, Frank C. - 2017
We consider a setting where strategic behavior of r&d firms can lead to different types of a technology lock …-in, permanent or temporary, in an eventually inferior technology. The simple setting with one incumbent and one potential entrant … socially suboptimal, since it may lead to faster development of the existing technology due to persistent threat of the …
