Abstract

Models of market strategy are examined to determine the effect a firm's goodwill might have on the introduction of new products. Modeling is based on assumptions that products are essentially non-durable, that goodwill is generated by advertising, and production costs are the same, and that firms are generally equal in discounting profits and have similar objectives.
