Findings This research paper concentrates on how an evolutionary game framework uncovers the competitive dynamics that high-tech firms experience as they innovate for survival in their risk-filled market. The main findings are that where the late entering agent chooses to pursue an R&D innovation strategy, this becomes the dominant pan-market strategy. Furthermore, when competition between agents intensifies, innovation activity becomes more rapid because the players then apply all their energy into maximizing any form of competitive advantage in a race to avoid elimination from the market.

Design/methodology/approach This briefing is prepared by an independent writer who adds their own impartial comments and places the articles in context. Findings The problem with developing a reputation of being something of an oracle in the business world is that all of a sudden, everyone expects you to pull off the trick of interpreting the future on a daily basis. Like a freak show circus act or one-hit wonder pop singer, people expect you to perform when they see you, and they expect you to perform the thing that made you famous, even if it is the one thing in the world you don’t want to do. And when you fail to deliver on these heightened expectations, you are dismissed as a one trick pony, however good that trick is in the first place.

This perception of belongingness often leads to deeper relations and higher levels of commitment reflected in such as willingness to act as an advocate for the firm and spread positive word-of-mouth, lower vulnerability to negative information about the company, increased purchase intention and higher levels of both attitudinal and behavioral loyalty. Practical implications The paper provides strategic insights and practical thinking that have influenced some of the world’s leading organizations. Originality/value The briefing saves busy executives and researchers hours of reading time by selecting only the very best, most pertinent information and presenting it in a condensed and easy-to-digest format.
