Product entry in a fast growing industry: The LAN switch market

Roberto Fontana and Lionel Nesta

A chapter in Innovation, Industrial Dynamics and Structural Transformation, 2007, pp 87-106 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract We provide empirical evidence on market positioning by firms, in terms of market niche, distance from technological frontier and dispersion. We focus on the switch industry, a sub-market of the Local Area Network industry, in the nineties. Market positioning is a function of the type of firms (incumbents versus entrants), market size and contestability as well as firm competencies. We find that incumbents specialize in high-end segments and disperse their product in a larger spectrum of the market. Instead, entrants focus on specific market niches. Market size, market contestability and firm competencies are also important determinants of product location.
