Description

In a period of technological changes, new entrants to an industry are able to take advantage of emerging technologies, while incumbent firms have difficulty following trends. This study examines the position of new entrants that develop existing technologies, by exploring the historical case of radical technological change from vacuum tube to transistor technology in the case of Ise Electronics. The study investigates the innovation process involved in extending an existing technology through an entrepreneurial venture. This case analysis suggests that the extension of existing technologies is made possible by developing them and embedding them in products utilizing an emerging technology, and that bridges between old and new technologies can be built through personal and professional connections formed within an existing industry.
