| Abstract: | Analyses of founding and mortality rates of specialist organizations in the U.S- wine industry over the period 1941-90 support Carroll's (1985) location-based resource-partitioning model - crowding of generalists in the market center creates opportunities for specialists. Specialists are affected when they violate their organizational form's identity characteristics and also when generalists can assume a robust identity allowing them to operate in both specialist and generalist industry segments. The results suggest a prominent role for an organizational form's identity in resource partitioning. |
