• Let a Thousand Flowers Bloom? An Early Look at Large Numbers of Software App Developers and Patterns of Innovation (2012, unknown): ““Bandwagon” dynamics may then follow, with escalating network effects (Arthur 1994, David 1985, Rohlfs 2003, Schilling 1999).”
• Innovation diffusion and new product growth models: A critical review and research directions (2010, background): “Network externalities exist when the utility of a product to a consumer increases as more consumers adopt the new product (Rohlfs, 2001).”
• Institutional Entrepreneurship (2006, background): “…standards – which constitute one form that a set of constraining factors can take – in order to leverage network externalities and complementary skills; in turn, producers need standards in order to enable the specialized production of complementary products (Katz and Shapiro, 1985; Rohlfs, 2001).”
