Mb. Lieberman et Db. Montgomery, First-Mover (dis)Advantages: Retrospective and link with the resource-based view, STRAT MANAG, 19(12), 1998, pp. 1111-1125
This article reflects upon and updates our prize-winning paper, 'First-move
r advantages,' which was published in SMJ Ia years ago. We discuss the evol
ution of the literature over the past decade and suggest opportunities for
continuing research. In particular we see benefits from linking empirical f
indings on first-mover advantages with the complementary stream of research
on the resource-based view of the firm. (C) 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
