Rival precedence and open platform adoption: An empirical analysis
作者：
Highlights：
• We present a model of open platform adoption encompassing six theoretical mechanisms that drives herding: NEB, NPB, NPR, OL, MP and CP.
• In order to test different mechanism, we empirically test the model by splitting the samples in accordance with the diffusion stages of open platform.
• The results show whereas the impacts of NEB, NPB and OL are more salient at the earlier, NPR and CP are more salient at the later stage.
• The results imply that organizations react conservatively when they perceive less diffusion but react strategically as diffusion increases.
