Leir Research Institute (LRI) Weekly Seminar Series  — Martin Tuchman School of Management

In this week’s virtual seminar at 1–2 p.m. on Wednesday, Nov. 4, the LRI hosts a discussion on the paper “How Founder Experience Shapes Entry Strategy: Evidence from Dominant Designs in the Disk Drive Industry” by Anu Wadhwa, associate professor, Strategy and Entrepreneurship, Imperial College London. This paper investigates the role of strategic positioning choices and pre-entry endowments in determining the post-entry innovative performance of firms entering new markets. It hypothesizes that entrepreneurial entrants that possess greater levels of pre-entry endowments and those that choose to operate in multiple segments and position themselves aggressively in new markets will introduce products with dominant design features earlier. Additionally, pre-entry endowments positively moderate the relationship between post-entry technology strategy choices and early introduction of dominant design features. To join, go to https://njit.webex.com/meet/rroy. Upcoming seminars can be found at https://centers.njit.edu/leir/Fall-2020-and-Spring-2021-Seminars/.
