Abstract

This paper advances a general and unified framework to explain the patterns of entry in an industry. The specificity of a type of entrant is examined based on the match between the entrant’s prior experience, in terms of knowledge endowment, and the target industry context. The knowledge endowment is analyzed by focusing on its content—market, technological, organizational, and scientific—and its generic and specific nature. The target industry context is examined by looking at four basic dimensions: the stage of development of the target industry (the time dimension); the specific technological regime and related innovation patterns (the technological dimension); the demand regime (the demand dimension); and the institutional regime (the institutional dimension). These dimensions moderate the matching between the knowledge endowment of the type of entrants and the features of the industrial contexts. Our newly proposed taxonomy offers a more systematic and nuanced explanation of how the complex relationship between pre-entry experience and knowledge, entrants and the chosen target industry evolves over time.

进入者异质性、进入前知识和目标行业背景：分类法和框架

本文提出了一个解释行业进入模式的通用统一框架。根据进入者在知识禀赋方面的先前经验与目标行业背景之间的匹配情况，对进入者类型的特殊性进行了研究。对知识禀赋的分析侧重于其内容--市场、技术、组织和科学--以及其通用性和特殊性。对目标产业背景的考察包括四个基本维度：目标产业的发展阶段（时间维度）；特定的技术体系和相关创新模式（技术维度）；需求体系（需求维度）；以及制度体系（制度维度）。这些维度缓和了进入者类型的知识禀赋与产业环境特征之间的匹配。我们新提出的分类法可以更系统、更细致地解释进入前的经验和知识、进入者和所选目标产业之间的复杂关系是如何随着时间的推移而演变的。
