Late-Mover Advantages (Or First-Mover Disadvantages)are Not Likely to Arise When

Late-mover advantages (or first-mover disadvantages) are not likely to arise when

A) the costs of pioneering are much higher than being a follower and only negligible learning/experience benefits accrue to the pioneer.
B) the marketplace is skeptical about the benefits of a new technology or product being pioneered by a first mover.
C) the pioneer's products are somewhat primitive and are easily bested by late movers.
D) opportunities exist for a blue-ocean strategy to invent a new industry or distinctive market segment that creates altogether new demand.
E) technological change is rapid, and fast-following rivals find it easy to leapfrog the pioneer with next-generation products of their own.
