| Tiivistelmä: | A good is often more valuable to any user,the more others use compatible goods. It is shown that this effect may inhibit innovation. If an installed base exists and transition to a new standard must be gradual early adopters bear a disproportionate share of transient incompatibility costs. This can cause "excess inertia". The installed base, however,is "stranded" if the new standard is adopted: this may create "excess momentum". These dynamic effects have strategic implications. The direction of further investigation are also discussed. |
