内容简介：

The global cell phone market has transitioned significantly from feature phones to smartphones since 2007. This particular period of smartphone industry expansion, and a detailed product-level dataset of all the cell phones sold in 40 major economies between 2007 and 2016, give us an unprecedented chance to study how the order of entry affects the performance of the same firm in different markets. We begin with a theoretical framework wherein the order of a firm's entry affects both consumers' preferences and suppliers' delivery costs. We then document a market sales advantage for early entrants, especially those originating from developed countries, offering high-quality products, or having diversified product lines. Finally, we show that adopting radical innovation, such as the 4G wireless network, can help late followers leapfrog over formerly leading firms.
