Design options and design evolution

Description

"We build a theory that deals with two sets of evolving entities. On the one hand, the designs of computers have changed - this evolution is apparent in the artifacts themselves. On the other hand, the evolving designs have not remained \"within the walls\" of one or a few big firms. New firms and new markets have emerged in parallel with new products and new product categories."
