    A dynamic analysis of market entry rates in a global industry: a community ecology perspective
    (Emerald, 1999) Çavuşgil, S. Tamer; Department of Business Administration; Tunalı, Ayşegül Özsomer; Faculty Member; Department of Business Administration; College of Administrative Sciences and Economics; 108158
    States that it is critical that incumbent firms understand the processes that enhance or inhibit entry of new firms into their industry. A new entrant into an industry may create additional demand by legitimizing the technology/products, and/or may share the existing market by drawing buyers away from incumbents. An analysis of market entry rates is especially important in new, high technology industries where sub‐groups of firms pursue different technology and global market diversification strategies because such sub‐groups may have asymmetrical cross‐effects on entry rates of new firms. Suggests a community ecology approach to assessing the impact of industry density on new firm entry rates. The framework is demonstrated by applying it to the global personal computer industry during the period of 1977‐1992. Results suggest that density has a nonmonotonic positive effect, while the firm‐level variables of technological strategy and market expansion strategies have a monotonic positive effect on new firm entry rates.

    Looming losses in future time perception
    (American Marketing Association (AMA), 2010) LeBoeuf, Robyn A.; Department of Business Administration; Department of Business Administration; Bilgin, Baler; Faculty Member; Department of Business Administration; College of Administrative Sciences and Economics; 108641
    It is proposed that a future time interval's perceived length will be affected by whether the interval ends with a gain or loss. Confirming this, several experiments indicate that consumers perceive intervals ending with losses as shorter than equivalent intervals ending with gains. The authors explore the mechanisms underlying these effects, and they identify several parallels between the current effects and loss aversion. The authors further show that these changes in time perception influence consumption decisions, and they consider the implications of the findings for theories of time perception and intertemporal choice.

    Positioning of store brands
    (The Institute for Operations Research and the Management Sciences (INFORMS), 2002) Hoch, Stephen J.; Raju, Jagmohan S.; Department of Business Administration; Sayman, Serdar; Faculty Member; Department of Business Administration; College of Administrative Sciences and Economics; 112222
    We examine the retailer’s store brand positioning problem. Our game-theoretic model helps us identify a set of conditions under which the optimal strategy for the retailer is to position the store brand as close as possible to the stronger national brand. In three empirical studies, we examined whether market data are consistent with some of the implications of our model. In the first study, using observational data from two US supermarket chains, we found that store brands are more likely to target stronger national brands. Our second study estimated cross-price effects in 19 product categories, and found that only in categories with high-quality store brands, store brand and the leading national brand compete more intensely with each other than with the secondary national brand. In a third product perception study, we found that although explicit targeting by store brands influenced consumer perceptions of physical similarity, it had no influence on consumers’ perceptions of overall or product quality similarity. While it appears that retailers do follow a positioning strategy consistent with our model, it changes buying behavior in the intended fashion only if the store brand offers quality comparable to the leading national brands.

    The effects of technology standards on the structure of the global PC industry
    (Emerald, 2000) Çavuşgil, S. Tamer; Department of Business Administration; Tunalı, Ayşegül Özsomer; Faculty Member; Department of Business Administration; College of Administrative Sciences and Economics; 108158
    Investigates the effects of technology standards on the changing nature of interdependence between competitors in a global industry. Drawing on the theory of organizational ecology, the effects of technology standards on the type of interplay among competitors are investigated as the underlying process affecting new firm entry. Empirical data from the global personal computer industry provide preliminary evidence that positive interdependence, or mutualism, characterizes the nature of competition before the establishment of a technology standard. Negative interdependence, or full competition, is found to prevail after a technology standard emerged. These findings suggest that the evolution of industries where compatibility and technological standards are critical can be analyzed in two different phases: the technological legitimation phase; and the market competition phase. A discussion of the underlying interdependencies in the two phases and their implications is also provided.
