| Abstract: | This paper uses a community-level framework to identify the sources and rates of technological variation in an industry. By using data on all merchant producers of microprocessors from 1971 to 1989 it was found out that most of the new designs came from new entrants. Organizational ecology's density-dependence model is followed in the rate at which design sponsors entered the market. Increasing market concentration increased the entry rate of new firms, most the sponsored architectural innovations. The emergence of a dominant design can paradoxically promote new approaches and technologies. |
