| Abstract: | The great concern for the revitalization of American industry in this decade is made comprehensible. Despite the recent interest in the processes and problems of entrepreneurship, very little is known about why new ventures succeed or fail. Even less is known about how the characteristics of organization that determine early success or failure influence later capacities for adaptation. The results of an in-depth study of strategies employed by 108 firms in the minicomputer industry over the period 1957 to 1981 are presented. It is examined how different strategies had been implemented under different conditions, and had been continued in the face of changes. |
