Abstract
Notice of Retraction
After careful and considered review of the content of this paper by a duly constituted expert committee, this paper has been found to be in violation of IEEE´s Publication Principles.
We hereby retract the content of this paper. Reasonable effort should be made to remove all past references to this paper.
The presenting author of this paper has the option to appeal this decision by contacting TPII@ieee.org.
By modifying a vertical-differentiation model, the relationship between the vertical product innovation and process innovation is investigated in duopoly markets with network externalities. The purpose of vertical product innovation (resp. process innovation) is to improve product quality (resp. lower marginal cost). When firms decide product quality first and then perform process innovation, the following conclusions are found: (i) the vertical product innovation may lower (or increase) process innovation efforts; (ii) the network externality may change the relationship between vertical product innovation and process innovation.
