| Tiivistelmä: | Deregulation interrupts industry evolution, leading to fai- lure or absorption of many once-proud, dominating firms. Privatization also radically changes the evolution of an or- ganization, as it moves from a protected, statealigned in- stitution to life subjected to the harsh forces of private sector ownership and scrutiny. Yet deregulation and privati- zation do not occur overnight. We identify a period in many regulated or monopolistic industries which affords incumbent firms and soon-to-be privatized organizations the time to ready themselves for a radically changed competitive land- scape. We identify this period as the running time. Companies that survive and thrive in a post-privatization and post-regulation era initiate strategic processes early in their running time. We illustrate the model by drawing upon an in-depth case study from the US banking industry. |
