Abstract

We propose an environment for defining and modelling the concept of partial compatibility in an industry producing differentiated brands that are supported by brand-specific supporting services. We analyze the effects of increasing a brand's degree of compatibility with the supporting services of the competing brand on firms' market shares and the variety of brand-specific supporting services.
