Flourish or Perish: The Influence of Interorganizational Networks and Flexibility on Technology Success in Winner-take-all Markets
Year: 2012
Type: conference-paper
Abstract: This study focuses on cooperative standard setting. The empirical context is the home networking arena. This arena is characterized by rapid technological change and standards that are often supported by networks of actors. We hypothesize that the composition of these networks and the flexibility of these standards plays an important role in establishing dominance. Also, we hypothesize that network diversity, network size and standard flexibility reinforce each other. The study finds support for these hypotheses in a study of 137 consortia from 1990 to 2009.
