| Tiivistelmä: | The authors answers the question how and why young firms do develop distinctive skills on the frontiers of technology in evolving technologies. As a window on these processes, this study analyses the decisions by Internet Service Providers (ISPs) to upgrade the speed of communication. In 1997 this involved 56K modem technology and Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN) technology. The authors investigate why an ISP chooses to offer neither, one or both high-speed data transmission technologies. The authors' findings are consistent with the view that scale of investment, local infrastructure's quality and explicit costs shape investment decisions by young firms in emerging markets. |
