Discontinuities, competition, and cooperation: Coopetitive dynamics between incumbents and entrants (2018, background): “First, low-status incumbents may use a partnership with a leading new entrant to technologically leapfrog high-status incumbents in the post-discontinuity time period (Schilling, 2003).”
The Multifaceted Nature of Exploration and Exploitation: Value of Supply, Demand, and Spatial Search for Innovation (2007, background): “…telephony, and video games, which are characterized by significant technological ferment, a relatively greater emphasis on supply-side rather than market or spatial search is possible as companies try to technologically leapfrog one another to establish dominance (Schilling 2003, Ratliff 2002).”
