Abstract

The purpose of this chapter is to examine the factors affecting the rate and direction of the competence-building process in firms. In Chapter 2, we put forward a model of competence building. When a radically new, pervasive technology emerges, some firms are able to seize that opportunity to their advantage. Competence building centres in key areas to enhance the core capabilities of firms. Competence building is affected by factors related to path dependence which have direct links with the firm’s history, such as previous core businesses, long-term top management strategy, the evolution of the R&D organization, and government policies. It is also affected by factors related to the present, such as management of the interlinkages between systems, key components and generic technologies, and economies of scope. In this chapter, we shall concentrate on the path-dependent factors and organizational routines.
