Tiivistelmä:This article examines the effectiveness of switching costs as an isolating mechanism in the context of the first-mover advantage theory. The hypotheses are tested in the European mobile telecommunications industry. It has been characterized by high growth in the number of subscribers, which could reduce the effectiveness of switching costs from being effective as an isolating mechanism. The findings indicate that switching costs are an important way through which first-mover advantages materialize.
