Strategic options for national monopolies in transition : The case of Swedish Telecom
In many industrialized economies there is an ongoing transition in the market for telecommunication service provision from uncontested monopoly over contested markets to de facto competition. Swedish Telecom faces emerging competition from national entrants as well as international telecommunication service providers, the latter group posing the most serious challenges. The transition from a national monopoly to a competitive environment sets a new agenda of strategic options for managing technological transitions as well as for managing internationalization and diversification. Given that technology-based internationalization of the telecommunication service industry will take place, a possible scenario is the development of systems competition, natural oligopolies and a polarized industry, possibly followed by protectionistic anti-competitive reactions.
