Description

Because of a rapid growth of the network industry, concepts of consumption externalities and network externalities have become the center of discussions in the field of management science. In this paper, on the basis of our model included in a firm's stance and its domain of product differentiation, we try to examine which the firm chooses the strategy of compatibility provoking network externalities, or the strategy of product differentiation provoking only its own consumption externalities. There could exist the situation that a firm promised to win in the long term would like to adopt the strategy of compatibility if the product life cycle is relatively short.
