Incumbent defense strategies against new product entry

Article Abstract:

A study of defensive strategies against new market entrants reveals that a quicker reaction time on the part of the incumbent market leader is rewarded with a better chance of success.

The study also indicates the strong influence of the type of industry and the nature of the threat to the ability of the market leaders to defend their positions.
