“…This study thus provides evidence to support the theoretical contention that technology obsolescence occurs over time and through multiple stages (Pecht & Das, 2000). Second, the preponderance of the evidence lends additional support to the theoretical contention that technology obsolescence stems from the emergence of alternatives with superior functionality and capacity (Shy, 1996;Altman et al, 2015). The accumulated evidence also attests to the contention that obsolescence also stems from the introduction of superior alternatives.…”

“…For instance, Google Drive provides 15GB of free storage and Box offers 50GB (Altman, Nagle & Tushman, 2015) relative to the standard 1.44MB capacity of the floppy disk. This was surprising given that in 1961 an IBM 1301 disk drive cost around $115,500 (around $900,000 in 2013 dollars) and was capable of storing a mere 28MB of information (Altman et al, 2015). These exemplified the significant drop in the cost of information storage over the decades.…”

“…Second, core-periphery technical and organizational structures are becoming more prevalent as many firms are attempting to turn their products into platforms that can attract external complementors. Scholars are beginning to study the organizational changes firms must make to support such strategies, but this work has only just begun (Gawer and Phillips, 2013;Lifshitz-Assaf, 2014;Altman et al, 2014). The relationship between technical dependencies and organizational ties in platforms has not yet been addressed and is a promising area for future work.…”

“…Para Altman et al (2013), a CN diminuiu as restrições para obtenção de capacidade de processamento e armazenamento de informações, bem como acesso aos meios de comunicação de dados, usualmente enfrentadas pelos indivíduos e organizações de pequeno porte. Com serviços oferecidos através da nuvem como HP Cloud, Google Drive, Amazon Web Services EC2, por exemplo, estes indivíduos e organizações agora dispõem dos recursos computacionais com preços significativamente menores (ou mesmo sem custo, em determinadas circunstâncias) que aqueles quando a aquisição de equipamentos era necessária.…”

“…Com serviços oferecidos através da nuvem como HP Cloud, Google Drive, Amazon Web Services EC2, por exemplo, estes indivíduos e organizações agora dispõem dos recursos computacionais com preços significativamente menores (ou mesmo sem custo, em determinadas circunstâncias) que aqueles quando a aquisição de equipamentos era necessária. Para este autor esta redução das barreiras de acesso à tecnologia da informação, através da nuvem, possibilita que pesquisas e inovações migrem das grandes organizações para organizações de menor porte e mesmo para os indivíduos (ALTMAN et al, 2013).…”
