Market segmentation, cannibalization, and the timing of product introductions

TL;DR: In this article, the authors show that sequential introduction is better than simultaneous introduction when cannibalization is a problem and customers are relatively more impatient than the seller, but when the seller cannot pre-commit, sequential selling is much less attractive because then he cannot use his product designs to alleviate cannibalization.
