Occupational, industry, and geographic exposure to artificial intelligence: A novel dataset and its potential uses (2021, background): “Technological change can have meaningful consequences for industry structure and lead to the entry or exit of firms within an industry (e.g., Abernathy & Utterback, 1978; Agarwal & Gort, 2002; Klepper, 1996, 1997).”
The impact of aging and technological relatedness on agglomeration externalities: a survival analysis (2012, neutral): “…of firms or plants with respect to their size and age (Disney et al., 2003), pre-entry experience (Thompson, 2005), the structure of the market (Cantner et al., 2006; Buenstorf, 2007), the maturity of the industry (Agarwal and Gort, 2002), or combinations of these dimensions (Klepper, 2002).”
The dynamics of interfirm networks along the industry life cycle: The case of the global video game industry, 1987–2007 (2013, background): “…dynamics in which the evolution of competitive structures over an industry’s lifespan is examined and how these relate to the nature of the products that are produced in these industries (Gort and Klepper, 1982; Abernathy and Clark, 1985; Klepper, 1997; Agarwal and Gort, 2002; Neffke et al., 2011).”
Entrepreneurship, innovation and regional growth: a network theory (2015, background): “Others have pointed to a more specific life cycle of the firm (Agarwal and Gort 2002), with entrepreneurial researchers suggesting a number of typologies to capture differing developmental stages that can be summarised as consisting of four broad phases: (1) emergence; (2) growth; (3) maturity; and…”
Do Effectuation Processes Shape the Relationship between Product Diversification and Performance in New Ventures? (2017, background): “5 years old, and firm failure rates decline between year three and seven, according to Agarwal and Gort (2002); nevertheless, future studies could also retrieve data on failed ventures. Failed diversified ventures may present different behavioral patterns than survivor firms; thus, comparisons betwe”
Information Technology Competencies, Organizational Agility, and Firm Performance: Enabling and Facilitating Roles (2013, methodology): “We also included the age (i.e., number of years in existence) of an electronic marketplace as a con-trol, because organizational experience and learning often is associated with age (e.g., Agarwal and Gort 2002).”
Patents and the Survival of Internet-related IPOs (2007, positive): “In particular, the point in the technology or industry life cycle at which a firm operates has been found to be an important determinant of firm survival (Agarwal & Gort 1996, 2002, Suarez & Utterback 1993, 1995).”
Resource Orchestration to Create Competitive Advantage (2011, background): “The firm with dynamic managerial capabilities (Adner & Helfat, 2003) to help it manage its resources in ways that support exploitation and exploration simultaneously has the potential to ignite a new growth stage (Agarwal & Gort, 2002).”
Market-based capabilities and financial performance of firms: insights into marketing’s contribution to firm value (2009, background): “According to Agarwal and Gort (2002), learning relating to cost reductions, product improvements and new market techniques improve with age of the firm.”
Evolutionary agglomeration theory: increasing returns, diminishing returns, and the industry life cycle (2011, background): “…theoretical perspective, many scholars argue that industries evolve according to a similar pattern, known as the industry life cycle (which is also referred to as the ‘product life cycle’) (Vernon, 1966; Klepper and Grady, 1990; Klepper, 1996; Agarwal and Gort, 2002; Agarwal and Audretsch, 2001).”
Owner‐Management, Firm Age, and Productivity in Italian Family Firms (2014, background): “This behaviour seems to increasingly entangle firms in structural and process-related rigidities that are difficult to shed (Leonard-Barton, 1992) and induces them to ignore innovation signals from the marketplace (Agarwal and Gort, 2002).”
Top management teams and the performance of entrepreneurial firms (2013, background): “Economics has long considered how industries emerge, evolve, and decline (e.g., Agarwal and Gort 2002).”
