Poletti An Empirical Study of Declining Lead Times: Potential Ramifications on the Performance of Early Market Entrants 2011 20 .pdf application/pdf 7973 439 57 product innovations introduced from 1887 to 1986, the average first-mover lead time second-mover lead time, and consequently, it is difficult to determine whether the "fastsecond" strategic approach is gaining in viability. research indicates that increased lead times can enhance first-mover market share entry barriers that increase the innovation lead time between early movers and the examining second-mover lead times over a 20-year period. models, underscore the need to study the lead times of second movers. Hypothesis 3: Mean second-mover lead times since 1985 will be less Hypothesis 4: Mean second-mover lead times will decline from 1985 As prior studies have not addressed the rate of change for second-mover lead times, Hypothesis 5: Second-mover lead times will decline at the same rate as The second hypothesis dealt with the rate of change in first-mover lead time from 1985 This study was also successful in measuring second-mover lead times for a broad ./cache/work_tpvlkczphfhmrgazueqgxhdaia.pdf ./txt/work_tpvlkczphfhmrgazueqgxhdaia.txt
