Abstract
One area of technology-based competition which has been particularly slow to receive constructive attention is the relationships between industry structure and other strategic variables. Structural factors such as size distribution, product composition, and relationships with infrastructure have always evolved over the life cycles of technologies underlying individual industries. During the past several decades, however, the rate of change in industry structure has increased in response to faster technological change and the globalization of markets.
“The trouble with the world isn’t ignorance — it’s people knowing all them things that ain’t so”
