| Tiivistelmä: | A simple, yet fairly general model is outlined in which there are two firms engaged in a single one-stage race to be the first to introduce some new product or technology. Despite its simplicity the model provides a rich range of policy outcomes, yet, because of its simplicity, it gives a strong intuitive base which can be used to see what is driving those outcomes. The first force determining R and D expenditure is the profit incentive. The second force comes from the competitive threat. It is shown that by understanding the relative magnitude of these two forces, a great deal can be learned about a firm's R and D strategy and hence about the outcome of the strategic race; moreover about the desirability of various policy options. |
