The Experience Curve ► Studies during WWII uncovered a relationship between the number of ships produced and the cost of production

The Experience Curve ► The relationship between the number of ships produced and the cost of production became known as “the experience curve” ► This can be subdivided into two distinct effects with different causes - Scale Scale Learning Learning

Defraying fixed costs Greater specialization Unit cost Production volume c0c0 c1c1 v0v0 v1v1 Economies of Scale

Why does this matter? ► Scale anyone can achieve ► Competitors will seldom if ever be able to match your cumulative volume even if they can get the same market share ► Learning is one source of first mover advantage ► Knowledge is often ‘sticky’ and leaning is hard to replicate
