New Article Published on Entrepreneurs and the Emergence of New Industry Structures

Studies in Emergent Order is pleased to publish “Entrepreneurs and the Emergence of New Industry Structures” by Dave Valliere and Marko Hrelja. This paper is an examination of the role that individual entrepreneurs play in the creation of structure in the emergence of new industries. It shows how learning and profit-seeking behaviors of entrepreneurs create an asymmetric transition mechanism that locks in emergent order and results in increasingly complex structure.
