Abstract

The green revolution offers a plethora of potential innovation, much of which will take place in high-tech clusters. These clusters thus become interesting settings for testing and extending theories of organizational ecology, a set of theories that explain how selection processes shape population level organizational adaptation to environmental variation. This theory can be used to explain the adaptation of a new industry to an incumbent one. What happens when a new industry encroaches on the incumbent industry’s space? To what extent are the new and old industries able to survive and coexist? What is the effect of the second-generation industry’s movement into a niche incumbents already occupy?
