Path Constitution Analysis: A Methodology for Understanding Path Dependence and Path Creation
Although an increasing number of studies of technological, institutional and organizational change refer to the concepts of path dependence and path creation, few attempts have been made to consider these concepts explicitly in their methodological accounts. This paper addresses this gap and contributes to the literature by developing a comprehensive methodology that originates from the concept...
متن کاملPath Creation, Path Dependence and Breaking Away from the Path: Re-Examining the Case of Nokia
The explanation of how and why firms succeed or fail is a recurrent research challenge. This is particularly important in the context of technological innovations. We focus on the role of historical events and decisions in explaining such success and failure. Using a case study of Nokia, we develop and extend a multi-layer path dependence framework. We identify four layers of path dependence: t...
متن کاملPath Dependency and Path Creation in a Strategic Perspective
Path dependency and, recently, path creation are frequently used concepts in the social sciences. However, they were born as individual issues and in most cases they are still discussed separately. First, the path dependency concept has spread. In the general sense, path dependency refers to the idea that events occurring at an earlier point in time will affect events occurring at a later point...
متن کاملShortest-Path Indices: Establishing a Methodology for Shortest-Path Problems
During the last years, impressive progress has been achieved in the field of algorithm engineering. A problem becoming more and more important is that of data dependency: the performance of an algorithm often highly depends on the input. Yet, for a given input, it is highly non-trivial to select the best solving strategy. In this work, we introduce a new methodology for evaluating speed-up tech...
متن کاملPortage and Path Dependence.
We examine portage sites in the U.S. South, Mid-Atlantic, and Midwest, including those on the fall line, a geomorphological feature in the southeastern U.S. marking the final rapids on rivers before the ocean. Historically, waterborne transport of goods required portage around the falls at these points, while some falls provided water power during early industrialization. These factors attracte...
