Riassunto

Digital technology has dramatically changed the structure of many industrial sectors.The rise of the Internet and increased broadband access have given rise to new business models andstrategies for firms dealing with both electronic and physical goods. Industrial Organization andthe Digital Economy focuses on changes in the two industries most affected by the new technology:software and music. The book offers the theoretical and factual grounding necessary forunderstanding the changes in industrial organization brought about by the digital economy, with thechapters together providing an accessible and interesting cross-fertilization of fact and theory.Moreover, two chapters demonstrate the relevance of the emerging literature on two-sided markets forthe digital economy.The contributors consider such topics as the innovation value of software;empirical evidence and theoretical analysis regarding the impact of file sharing on music sales; theability of firms to modify their products and offer them in different versions; the practice ofpreannouncing information goods; the effects of electronic commerce on both consumers and retailers;and price-setting by electronic mediators. The studies in Industrial Organization and the DigitalEconomy provide a valuable starting point for future research on other aspects of the subject,including the open-source movement and trust and reputation.Contributors:Paul Belleflamme, Jay PilChoi, Emin M.
