Lieberman and Montgomery examine advantages and disadvantages of pioneering firms. (Lieberman and Montgomery: First-mover advantages) Investigate whether early knowledge improves products and operations in a lasting way.

Unfamiliar products require explanation and trial costs. Consider whether later entrants can learn from earlier failures.
