How can a first mover protect their near monopoly and high levels of return? create barriers to imitation increase access to complementors reduce prices to stimulate demand get a patent on their technology How can a first mover lock consumers into its technology before imitators enter the market? limit switching costs cut prices to retain market share exploit network effects avoid building feedback loops Why is it important for a first mover to create high switching costs? to prevent first-mover disadvantage to establish economies of scale to keep rivals from taking customers away to exploit positive feedback loops Why are first movers more likely to make a mistake in the development of a new technology? They have high pioneering costs. Consumers are uneducated about the product. There are market uncertainties. Distribution channels are undeveloped. When should a company use a strategic alliance to imitate a pioneering company's innovation? when a product is easy to reverse engineer when there are several capable competitors when a product is technologically complex when barriers to imitation are low When is a paradigm shift more likely to occur in an industry? when rivals do not use the same technology when niche markets have been eliminated when established technology is mature when R\&D investments cannot solve engineering problems Why does a technology's natural limit impact the potential for a paradigm shift? Rivals can no longer compete with the first mover. New products will better utilize current technologies. Established enterprises will have several advantages over new entrants. Research begins to focus on alternative technologies. Why do established companies sometimes make the mistake of dismissing successor technology? It is initially less efficient. Improvement is a long process. It typically costs more. The paradigm shift is uncertain. How can large, established companies be ready for emerging technologies that might become disruptive? use research and development to solidify market position hold new technology until commercially relevant invest in research and development partner with rivals to resist Why would a new entrant decide to partner with an established company to develop and introduce a new disruptive technology? They want to expand their distribution network. They need resources to exploit the technology. They hope to encourage rapid growth. They are tied to an out-of-date business model
