The structure of the computer industry
structureofcompu00mcdo.pdf (9.725Mb)Abstract
This study updates the assessment of the industrial and market structure of the
computer manufacturing and software development industries. It describes the structure
of these industries in terms of market concentration, barriers to entry, organizational
strategies, and legal issues. It also examines the impact of the PC revolution on the market
structure of computer manufacturing and software development. Additionally, it describes
and analyzes events in computer manufacturing and software development since the late
1980s in terms of alliances, mergers, and market concentration, as the computer industry
shakes out marginal participants and re-aligns the market power and technology rights of
major players. The study forecasts a ten year scenario for the evolution of the computer
manufacturing and software development industries by extrapolating from recent events
and from histories of similar mature industries.
