| Abstract: | The study described strengthens the theoretical argument that organizations are more flexible and environments less rigid than the thesis of density-dependent organizational failure would seem to require. Through a study of California wineries observed between 1940 and 1984, it is showed that organizations within a population may escape competitive pressures through differentiation. Wineries founded in the table wine niche and those that diversified into it were subject to lower failure rates than other wineries. It is shown how it is possible to compensate for a lack of strictly appropriate data, a characteristic of ecological studies. |
