On the strategic use of product modularity for market entry
研究了企业何时应推出支持多种标准的模块化产品而非单一标准的集成产品进入市场，并用1990年代局域网行业数据验证了模型预测。
Abstract We model the conditions under which firms should enter the market with modular products that support multiple standards instead of an integral product that supports a single standard. Product modularity enables firms to broaden their portfolios and increase their chances of investing in the “right” technologies early in a technology cycle. Entry with integral products instead occurs later in the cycle. We test the model’s predictions on a sample of the Local Area Network industry entrants during the 1990s.
