“…Moreover, business models that apply and stress international standards have started to attract attention among companies in both developed and developing countries in recent years (Ogawa, Shintaku, & Yoshimoto, 2005;Shintaku, Ogawa, & Yoshimoto, 2006;Tatsumoto, Ogawa, & Shintaku, 2011).…”

This paper first presents the following as obstacles to the generational switch of industry standards: (1) magnitude of installed base, (2) ample scope for technological progress based on existing standards, (3) limited applicability of accumulated technology to new standards, and (4) lack of investment capability. Next, we examine strategies to overcome such obstacles and migrate to new standards. Finally, we analyze the cooperation between a company that advocates new standards and one that produces complementary products when implementing those standards through the case study of the family console game industry. The results of analysis demonstrate that Nintendo has a traditional self-reliance strategy, whereas new entrant Sony has a collaborative one.

“…As long as companies can generate profits from somewhere within their entire business system, opening up of specific portions to the public can be a plausible strategy. As long as certain aspects of competitive advantage can be controlled, the rest can be left to an appropriate partner (Tatsumoto, Ogawa, & Shintaku, 2011). With open source, the partner includes not just companies but the entire community, thus "The Innovation Happens Elsewhere Strategy" is the strategy of acquiring innovation (Goldman & Gabriel, 2005).…”

(UC Berkeley), found itself involved in a license-related lawsuit filed by AT&T. At around the same time, the GNU project, which developed a UNIX-like free software not infringing on the AT&T license, was nearing completion-the "jigsaw puzzle"-with the exception of the kernel. Linux, a free UNIX-style software kernel with open source code free from the AT&T license made its appearance as the desired kernel becoming the "last piece" of the puzzle. A UNIX-type operating system is an aggregate of single function programs called tools, which are easily substitutable. Under these conditions, the free software system, noted for being "UNIX running on a PC," was completed in a short span of time. Essential to the success of Linux was its miraculous release timing. It goes without saying that this phenomenon is unlikely to be repeated even under ideal conditions of it being free of charge and open source.
