Abstract

The authors aim to address two issues relating to the asset specificity of firms with respect to their technology. By applying discriminant analysis to a sample of fast-growing firms, they attempt to develop simple and robust prediction equations. These equations would in turn utilise a few items of circumstantial information regarding firms to predict whether they are likely to invest relatively more in the R&D of new products or services or if they are likely to possess more or less specific technology.
