The paper studies the co-evolution of industrial turbulence and financial volatility in the early phase of the life-cycle of an old high-tech industry and a new high-tech industry: the US auto industry from 1899-1929 and the US PC industry from 1974-2000. In both industries, the first three decades were characterized by industrial turbulence: radical technological change, high entry and exit rates, and rapidly falling prices. However, unlike in the auto industry, in the PC industry technological change and new entry did not lead to strong instability of market sharesat the core of the monopoly destroying effect of Schumpetarian creative destruction -until the 1990's when the lead of the incumbents from the pre-existing mainframe and minicomputer industries was undermined. In both industries, stock prices were the most volatile and idiosyncratic during those years in which technological change disrupted market shares the most

“…Here a comparison between the conclusions of two recent industry studies is instructive. Klepper and Simons (2000) have shown that firms already established in making radios were subsequently the most successful in the newly developing colour TV market. On the other hand, Holbrook and his colleagues (2000) have shown that none of the firms established in designing and making thermionic valves were subsequently successful in establishing themselves in semiconductors.…”

“…Therefore, organizational reproduction and heredity are said to be the primary forces underlying the clustering of industry. 22 From the business history perspective, it has been argued that firms' strategy, internal economies, and organizational capabilities are what mostly lie behind the formation of competitive advantage in industries or territories. Alfred D. Chandler was perhaps the most prominent scholar to take this stance.…”

Firms dealing with "Made in Spain" fashion products (e.g., textiles, apparel, and footwear) have increased their presence in the world market over the last two decades. This paper focuses on the origins of this process. After constructing a new database of export districts, it first investigates the sources of the international competitiveness of these districts. Second, it explores whether industrial districts boosted the internationalization of Spanish fashion firms. The paper concludes that most of today's outstanding Spanish firms in fashion-related international markets emerged from 1980s' districts, which could have benefited from classical Marshallian externalities, while also taking advantage of the organizational capabilities of leading firms.
