Abstract: | A consistent pattern observed for really new household consumer durables is a takeoff or dramatic increase in sales early in their history. This study provides the first analysis of the takeoff. In particular it addresses some key questions: how much time does a newly introduced product need to takeoff; does the takeoff have any systematic patterns; is it possible to predict the takeoff. The study developes an operational measure to determine when takeover occurs. The study models the takeoff with a hazard model because of its advantages for analyzing time-based events. The results provide potential generalizations about the time to takeoff and the price reduction, nominal price, and penetration at takeoff. |
