Abstract:
Technology scholars have long studied the evolution of technological designs during industry
emergence. More recently, organizational theorists have highlighted the importance of categories for
industry dynamics. Despite their common theme, the two literatures have largely evolved in parallel
instead of converging to form a more comprehensive theory of industry evolution. In particular, the
mechanisms by which categories and technological designs influence each other as the industry evolves
have not been identified or explored. Our article addresses this void in the literature by proposing an
integrative process model of industry emergence. The model adds to existing literature by bringing
together two different but complementary perspectives of industry evolution, specifying the
corresponding mechanisms, and placing special emphasis on the co-evolutionary nature of designs and
categories.
