Adoption of Product and Process Innovations in Differentiated Markets: The Impact of Competition
The paper examines the effects of the degree of competition on the firms’ decision to innovate in differentiated markets. We find that a low (high) degree of product differentiation (competition) weakly supports the introduction of new products. Firms’ weakly favour a process innovation if the degree of product differentiation (competition) is high (low). In addition, assumptions on the strateg...
متن کاملProcess and Product Innovation in a Vertically Differentiated Industry
We examine a vertically differentiated duopoly where firms invest in process and product innovation and then compete in prices under full market coverage. We show that (i) process and product innovation are complements (substitutes) for the low-quality (high-quality) firm; (ii) the firm which is initially more efficient invests more than the rival in process innovation; (iii) if the initial dif...
متن کاملProcess and product innovation in a vertically differentiated monopoly
We analyse product and process innovations in a monopoly model with vertical differentiation. The incentive towards both kinds of innovation is always larger under social planning than under monopoly. Therefore, the comparison between the two regimes’ welfare performance should account for the possibility that the planner and the monopolist adopt different technologies and supply different prod...
متن کاملThe Market Evolution and Sales Takeoff of Product Innovations
In contrast to the prevailing supply-side explanation that price decreases are the key driver of a sales take-off, we argue that outward shifting supply and demand curves lead to market take-off. Our fundamental idea is that sales in new markets are initially low since the first commercialized forms of new innovations are primitive. Then, as new firms enter, actual and perceived product quality...
متن کاملPartial Licensing of Product Innovations ∗
We study the incentives of a product innovator to license its product “partially” to a potential entrant. In a duopolistic setting we consider product design of a modular nature, which enables the incumbent to license some modules of its innovation. Competition is characterized by the size of the shared component of the product which determines the degree of product differentiation. Therefore, ...
