Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book evaluates the sources of transitory market power in the market for personal computers in the late 1980s. In this dynamic market, many personal computer manufacturers innovated to secure a share of the market, despite the competitive threat of new entrants and substitute products. The author argues that much of this market power came from product differentiation, with buyers being willing to pay a premium for products with desirable features and from established brands. The book analyzes the role of two main forms of product differentiation in the PC industry during this period: whether a product incorporated the latest technological advancements (the "frontier") and whether the product was associated with a strong brand name. The analysis finds that both of these factors played a significant role in determining a product's market power and that the PC market was highly segmented along both dimensions.
