Abstract :
Empirical literature defines an industry´s clockspeed as a measure of the dynamic nature of the industry. Among other things, the rate of new product development is found to be associated with an industry´s clockspeed. Using a simple analytic model, an optimal industry clockspeed is derived, and competitive dynamics are analyzed relative to the derived industry standard
