Abstract: A system dynamics (SD) simulation model, of the interactions among business enterprises that compete in the entertainment industry, integrates ideas from organizational and strategy design, and new-technology adoption. The model describes exactly how the new-technology’s diffusion process of hardware and software clusters alters syndication-firms’ strategic postures, and TV networks’ investment opportunities in infrastructure and production capacity. Building on transaction cost economics (TCE), the model contributes to the merger and acquisition (M&A) literature and provides insight into the emergence of corporate-governance forms.
Keywords: Adoption, design, diffusion, merger and acquisition (M&A), new technology, organization, strategy, transaction cost economics (TCE)
