“…The case of German electricity represents an interesting puzzle to resource partitioning; strong scale economies do exist but the development of distinct preferences is hindered by the perceived homogeneity of electricity. In the presence of strong scale economies and undifferentiated preferences, existing research predicts the emergence of an oligopolistic market structure, rather than a dual market structure (Kovacs and Carroll, 2010;van Witteloostuijn and Boone, 2006). We interpret this puzzle as a precious opportunity to advance our understanding of the conditions that may lead to the consolidation of distinct preferences among audience members during the resource partitioning process.…”

First, the demise of near-center producers crystallizes the difference among classes of organizations which benefits the market success of peripheral producers. Second, individual peripheral producers that face an audience that values their identity claims and exhibit credible engagement with their claimed identity, encounter greater market success. Our contributions to the literature are discussed.

“…Consistent with the resource-based view of firms as bundles of unique resources that lead to competitive advantage, resource dependency theory focuses on the firm's ability to establish relationships to access resources (Van Witteloostuijn and Boone 2006). Resource dependency theory assumes that the organization makes active choices to achieve …”

Resource dependency and institutional theory perspectives on direct and indirect export choices

This article develops and tests resource dependency and institutional theory arguments to explain two choices facing SME owner/managers: (1) the decision whether to export or not and (2) if the firm exports, the choice between a direct (to customers abroad) and an indirect (using another firm as intermediary) export mode. Binomial logistic regressions on our sample of 871 Dutch SMEs suggest that institutional theory perspectives (owner/managers' perception of the increased international presence of their domestic competitors, customers' and suppliers' and perceptions of increased use of foreign suppliers) explain the decision to export, while resource dependency theory arguments (owner/managers' perception of the favorability of access to knowledge and technology, of production costs and of access to capital in the home market) guide the choice between direct and indirect export modes.

We build an agent-based computational model to study how the changing number of active product variants in a two-dimensional product space affects the performance of different firm types (i.e. large-scale and small-scale enterprises). We use an alternative approach to measure product space dimensionality, considering that dimensions may be a fraction of the Euclidean measure. The results confirm that high dimensionality gives advantage to small-scale firms. Additionally, we find that large-scale firms may also benefit from initial increasing dimensionality, since it allows a small degree of product differentiation and price discrimination.
