shown that several factors influence a company’s ability to retain market
leadership, among them technological innovation, changes in market structure,
short product life cycles, capital strength and promotional prowess. However,
one critical factor has largely been ignored: the psychological forces that
drive decisions consumers make and, specifically, the degree to which people
feel they have choices. <span style="line-height:115%;font-size:12pt"><font color="#000000" face="Calibri">Once people have learned a company’s unique technology interface, they become more efficient using that interface and are often reluctant to switch to competing products that require new skills or allow for only limited transfer of current skills. As companies such as Microsoft have demonstrated with its Windows operating system and Office software, early movers with dominant market shares are in an ideal position to provide customers with interface-specific experience that creates this type of competitive advantage. </font></span></font></span></p><p style="margin:0cm 0cm 10pt"><span style="line-height:115%;font-size:12pt"><font color="#000000" face="Calibri">Studies have

reactance works like this: As people learn to use a particular electronic
interface associated with information search or online shopping, for example,
they often become locked in and develop extremely high levels of loyalty even
when otherwise equivalent competitors are available; the cost of switching
outweighs the benefit of using another product. However, research indicates that
the depth of loyalty weakens when consumers feel that their freedom to choose
is restricted. Specifically, as people feel that their choice is constrained
and that one interface dominates the market, they react against the constraint
by turning away from the market leader’s offering, thereby subjecting
themselves to the associated costs of switching. </font></span><span style="line-height:115%;font-size:12pt"><font color="#000000" face="Calibri"> </font></span></p><font color="#000000" face="Times New Roman" size="3">

survival (and thereby giving consumers a real choice in operating systems), this may
have taken an important step toward maintaining its dominance in its core PC

markets such as mobile apps, social networks and other emerging electronic

branding and rapidly gaining critical mass. research suggests that an important
driver of consumer loyalty is the extent to which individuals feel that they
