Issues For Future Research
There are several problems that do arise when one attempts to clearly define “first-mover advantages”. These prevent us from entirely accepting that a company gains a clearly defined benefit from being the first to produce and market a particular product. Many studies have been done that try to identify all possible “pioneering advantages” that are available to a first-mover but the results so far have provided only a basic framework without any clearly defined mechanisms. This is still much more research that can be done to provide future generations of marketing teams with concrete evidence to allow for the idea of first-mover advantages to be completely feasible to the world of business.

Famous quotes containing the words issues, future and/or research:
“Cynicism formulates issues clearly, but only to dismiss them.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
“Today democracy, liberty, and equality are words to fool the people. No nation can progress with such ideas. They stand in the way of action. Therefore we frankly abolish them. In the future each man will serve the interest of the state with absolute obedience. Let him who refuses beware.”
—Charlie Chaplin (1889–1977)
“The great question that has never been answered, and which I have not yet been able to answer, despite my thirty years of research into the feminine soul, is “What does a woman want?” [Was will das Weib?]”
