title = "Growth and underinvestment: The impact of reactive capital acquisition strategies on market share",
abstract = "Many firms fail to deliver on their potential when they delay capacity acquisition decision for markets that have significant growth potential. The growth trajectory of an exciting new product can be dampened if the ability of an organization to meet market expectations in compromised due to insufficient production capacity. In the management science literature, the market growth model provides a formal basis to study the dynamics of growth, and also can be used to provide insight into why new companies often fail. This short paper presents a simplified version of the market growth model, and describes it from an agent-based perspective. The model is specified using an equation-based approach, and sensitivity runs on important delay parameters show the impact of capital acquisition on the growth potential of a firm.",
