The formation of most new industries depends on the introduction of products that provide a superior "value proposition" to some set of users where their introduction requires new R&D-related capabilities in firms. However, industries whose products require a critical mass of users or complementary products for growth to continue and ones that involve complex systems face additional challenges. © 2010 Taylor & Francis. | Source Title: | Industry and Innovation | URI: | http://scholarbank.nus.edu.sg/handle/10635/67714 | ISSN: | 13662716 | DOI: | 10.1080/13662716.2010.510001 |
