Dominant designs and population dynamics in telecommunications services: founding and failure of facsimile transmission service organizations, 1965-1992

Article Abstract:

The relationship between dominant designs and competitive market processes affect founding and failure in facsimile transmission services that are conditioned by positive network externalities. The externalities are generated by increases in technology value as more consumers adopt the same or a competitive technology. The results necessitate refinement of relationship theories between dominant designs and population dynamics.

Competition, institutional linkages, and organizational growth

Article Abstract:

An analysis examines the impact of competition and institutional connections on the growth of day care centers (DCCs) in metropolitan Toronto, Canada, between 1971 and 1989, and uses a model of organizational growth to show that DCC growth fell because of density-dependent, mass-dependent and size-localized types of competition. Growth advantages of institutional connections improved with the intensity of competition.
