abstract = {The structural forms of companies on the market lifecycle change substantially as the lifecycle unfolds. These changes are both structural and topological in concert with what is happening in the market. The firm shapes and substance evolve in a fashion that suggests an environmental adaption dictated by the market or more precisely anticipated by the firms as they read the market signals. This article traces the logic that defines the modes and results of this adaptation. The lifecycle itself has been demonstrated to be a powerful device by the principal author and colleagues, in a series of articles, to be symmetrically predictive in time, forecasting both the future and the past. This predictive capacity applies to structural evolution of the firm and the constraints that the distinct organizational shape of the structure will place on the firm. Furthermore, knowing the present shape, one can define both the past and successor structures and their fit to the enabling environment. The environment itself can be traced to market deep and surface structures and the closely correlated strategy landscape dominant at each stage of the market. © Copyright© (2018) by American Society for Engineering Management (ASEM).

abstract = {High technology markets can be extremely dynamic and grow very quickly, but they generally evolve in a specific lifecycle manner. Innovation is ever present, and some may argue the life-blood of all high technology firms, but the types of innovation and the projects that are harnessed to deliver these innovations change as firms grow, mature, and move through the high technology market lifecycle. Company age and size will have an effect upon the project organizational structure and management approach, but the types of innovation required at certain times in the lifecycle also concurrently drive the manner in which delivery projects are conceived. This paper builds on previous literature of high tech markets and firm innovation strategies, by the authors, to examine why projects are less formalized, product or technology-focused in smaller or early start-ups and growth companies, but evolve to highly formalized process-focused in mature companies. © 2017 American Society for Engineering Management.},
