  • Schumpeterian Competition Within Computing Markets and Organizational Diseconomies of Scope
    Schumpeterian competition within computing markets and organizational diseconomies of scope. Timothy Bresnahan, Shane Greenstein, Rebecca Henderson1 Abstract: We address a longstanding question about the causes behind creative destruction. Incumbent dominant firms, long successful in an existing technology, are often much less successful in a new technological era. We argue that organizational diseconomies of scope between new and old businesses help explain the pattern of unsuccessful dominant firms in the two historical cases. We examine two of the most important historical episodes in computing markets, respectively, the introduction of the PC and the browser. We examine the internal organization of two contemporaneously leading computing firms, IBM and Microsoft. Each firm, having been an extremely successful marketer of an old technology, came to have grave difficulties running an organization which could effectively market in both the old and the new technologies. Our analysis locates the problem that each had firmly in the marketing or commercialization of new technologies. It was in the area of the greatest strength of these firms, not in any area of weakness, that the organizational diseconomies of scope arose. 1 We are all affiliated with the NBER and also with, respectively, Department of Economics, Stanford University; Kellogg School of Management, Northwestern University; and Sloan School of Management, Massachusetts Institute of Technology. We thank Bill Aspray, James Cortada, Robert Gibbons, Brent Goldfarb, Tom Haigh, Bill Lowe, Cary Sherburne, Kristina Steffensen McElheran, Alicia Shems, Ben Slivka, Scott Stern, Catherine Tucker and many seminar audiences for comments. We are responsible for any errors. Organizational diseconomies of scope I. Introduction Schumpeterian “waves of creative destruction” are periodic bursts of innovative activity that threaten to overwhelm established dominant firms.

Dell, Chairman Dell Computer Corp. 9505 Arboretum Blvd. Austin, TX 78759 Re: Dell Computer Corp., File No. 9423076 Dear Mr. Dell: The Commission has conducted an investigation involving Dell Computer Corp.

Upon further review of this matter, it now appears that no further action is 'warranted by the Commission at this time. Following discussions among Commission staff, industry representatives, and others, the Electronic Industries Association has advised us that it now is engaged in the development of an industry guideline aimed at "the alleviation of potential consumer confusion over computer monitor screen sizes." Numerous industry members have advised us that they expect to participate in that process and to adhere to such a guideline.
