Summary:碩士 === 國立東華大學 === 企業管理學系 === 98 === This research primarily discusses network externality and compatibility and how to influence firms under a declining industry environment. We know network externalities will increase more and more users and profit to buy a firm’s product in general, but not in a declining industry. But what if today is still the case under a declining industry environment? We find that if the firm produces products which have network externality features and compatibility, its’ profit declining rate will decrease under a harsh recession in an economic environment. The firms will have more time to stay in the market and develop some strategies to avoid exiting the market.
