Primes

• Critical Juncture
  • The critical juncture was 1995 when the choice was made; lock-in increased through skill accumulation, network investment, and market demand shifts, paralleling the punctuated-equilibrium dynamic Romanelli and Tushman (1994) found in firm-level transformations.

    This sourceEmpirical test in the U.S. minicomputer industry showing transformation proceeds via short, discontinuous episodes after longer convergent periods; supports the career/firm-level punctuated-lock-in example.

Verification

Does it exist? Confirmed. This work's DOI resolves to a registered record, which fixes its identity. That is all it fixes.

Does it back the claim? Not recorded. The single citation of this work carries no recorded support check.

Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
