This dissertation examines the evolving dynamics of industries, focusing on how newcomers, outsiders, and "second-raters" influence market segmentation and product differentiation. The research investigates whether these entities drive significant changes within established industries, using case studies of companies like Red Bull and Coca-Cola to illustrate market penetration strategies and competitive pressures. The methodology involves qualitative research, including content, thematic, and linguistic analysis, alongside an inductive research approach. The study explores the impact of market size, entry barriers, and the product life cycle on industry transformation. It also analyzes how newcomers' innovative approaches disrupt existing paradigms, potentially leading to shifts in consumer behavior and profit margins. The dissertation highlights the importance of understanding market dynamics and strategic adaptation for businesses to thrive in a competitive landscape.
