The emergence of the Finnish telecom industry is to a significant extent based on the unprecedented success of Nokia. The case of the GSM is interesting in this context because it is at present the most widely diffused telecom standard in the world, and largely accounts for the international breakthrough of Nokia. Moreover, the GSM was discontinuous to the equipment suppliers compared to previo...

Recent observations of quasars, Mrk 335 and the HST quasar composite spectrum, have indicated that many of them have remarkably soft ionizing continua (fν ∝ ν , 13.6 eV – 100 eV). We point out that the number of hν > 54.4 eV photons is insufficient to create the observed strengths of the He ii emission lines. While the numbers of photons which energize C iv λ1549 and Ovi λ1034 are sufficient, e...

From Lvi0 with censored observations the two values taken by ωvi lead to two models of different dimensions. If ωvi = 0, we have a model with Tvi being a random parameter. In contrast, Tvi is fixed at Tvi = tc if ωvi = 1. Such a change in dimension complicates posterior simulation (Green, 1995). We use the pseudo prior approach by Carlin and Chib (1995) to avoid this complication. In other word...

The explanation of how and why firms succeed or fail is a recurrent research challenge. This is particularly important in the context of technological innovations. We focus on the role of historical events and decisions in explaining such success and failure. Using a case study of Nokia, we develop and extend a multi-layer path dependence framework. We identify four layers of path dependence: t...
