The seminar will be dedicated to the study, that investigates how continuous and fast industry change creates major challenges for firms to renew their strategies and sustain their competitive advantage. It suggests that the changes in firms’ collective beliefs of market boundaries drive the industry change. The authors investigate firms´ beliefs of the future technologies to recognize development patterns in the collective belief structures and propose an approach to indicate the industry change. Further, the study recognizes the importance of social networks of the management for understanding the future industry changes. The study is based on cleantech industry in Finland.
