Abstract: Purpose – Internet and GSM have become the dominant designs for information and communication technology (ICT) industries in the late 1990s Internet protocol (IP) is the dominant standard for cost effective networking and new interactive broadband services GSM (2G) is currently the dominant cellular technology and it is the basis of GSM, GPRS (25G) and UMTS (3G), the GSM‐continuum of standards The marriage of broadband internet and mobile has created open questions on which are the future winning wireless standards Will mobile internet be based on the GSM‐continuum or on US wireless developments such as WLAN and WiMAX? In longer time‐scale the Mobile Ad‐hoc Network (MANET) which does not use any preinstalled communications infrastructure may also become a cost‐effective challenger to infrastructure based networks The paper seeks to address these issuesDesign/methodology/approach – The paper elaborates these questions with the aim to provide an analytically clarifying conceptualisation of the compet

Technological paradigms and technological trajectories: A suggested interpretation of the determinants and directions of technical change
TL;DR: In this article, the authors propose a model to account for both continuous changes and discontinuities in technological innovation, and define the process of selection of new technological paradigms among a greater set of notionally possible ones.

Technological Discontinuities and Organizational Environments
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigate the patterns of technological evolution and their impact on environmental conditions and find that technological change within a product class will be characterized by long periods of incremental change punctuated by discontinuities, and the locus of innovation will differ for competence destroying and competence-enhancing technological changes.

Profiting from Technological Innovation: Implications for Integration, Collaboration, Licensing and Public Policy
TL;DR: In this article, the authors establish a framework within which to analyze the profit distribution of innovations and determine the reasons why imitators may outperform innovators, and propose an appropriate control structure which the innovator ought to establish over critical, complementary assets.
