Tug of war in innovation - coopetitive service development

TL;DR: An explorative case study of Finnish mobile TV service development with a focus on inter-firm coopetition (simultaneous competition and cooperation) with implications in terms of the nature, the challenges and opportunities involved, and of the management of coopetitive service development.

Localized knowledge percolation processes and information networks

TL;DR: In this article, the authors apply the methodology of percolation processes to operationalize the implications for both the economics of innovation and for technology policy of the structural characteristics of innovation networks as communication systems.

Strategic delegation under price competition and network effects

TL;DR: This article showed that under sufficiently strong network effects this result is reversed, i.e. the mode of strategic delegation in general depends on more variables apart from whether managers’ strategies are complements or substitutes.

Critical Mass and Tariff Structure in Electronic Communications Markets

TL;DR: In this article, the authors developed an economic model that determines both the required critical mass size for startup and the ultimate expansion level of such a system and evaluated the effects of different pricing structures for the service under the assumption that users maximize benefits minus cost and a monopoly supplier maximizes profit.

Tax Analysis in an Oligopoly Model

TL;DR: In this article, the authors use the conjectural variations model of oligopoly to analyze the way in which the incidence of a tax depends upon the pattern of firm interaction and show that the errors that arise in excess burden calculations when incorrect assumptions on market structure are made.
