Instruction
1. Select an industry that interests you.
2. Identify two instances of a first mover. Research the introduction of a new offering into new market segments. For example, you might pick consumer electronics and look for firms that initiated new products in new market segments.
3. Report your Findings centering on the following at a minimum:
♣ Brief history and description of the industry chosen (was it a fast, standard or slow market cycle at the time the first mover initiated its strategic action?)
♣ How has innovation of new products traditionally been accomplished in this industry; through new firms entering the market or existing firms launching new offerings?
♣ Identify one or two first movers and provide review of what happened. IF the product or offering is still considered successful, describe why. If not, why not?
