Benefits of co-operation on innovative performance: evidence from integrated circuits and biotechnology firms in the UK and Taiwan
TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined the relationship between interorganisational co-operation and innovative performance at the firm level and found that a firm's networking ability to co-operate with buyer firms, supplier firms and external organisations is becoming imperative for enhancing innovation in the increasingly distributed innovation process.
Theorizing about the Design of Information Infrastructures: Design Kernel Theories and Principles
Ole Hanseth,Kalle Lyytinen +1 more
TL;DR: These goals are achieved by enacting design principles of immediate usefulness, simplicity, utilization of existing installed base and modularization as shown by the analysis of the design of Internet and the information infrastructure for health care in Norway.

Monopoly, quality, and regulation
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors argue that under regimes of monopoly and monopolistic competition, product characteristics (which are often endogenous variables) are not usually optimally set under the pressure of market forces, and that regulation is also beset with difficulties when price and quality are decision variables.

Critical Mass and Tariff Structure in Electronic Communications Markets
Shmuel S. Oren,Stephen A. Smith +1 more
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
Michael L. Katz,Harvey S. Rosen +1 more
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.
