When developing the model, we have in mind some industries where the marketing competition to secure a large installed base is intense. The social commerce industry is a representative example of this type of industries, but the scope of this study is not limited to the industry. We first introduce a previous study focusing on the static Nash equilibrium, and then present an extended version of the basic model in a dynamic perspective. According to our analyses on the dynamic equilibria together with their stability, there may be a unique interior equilibrium, but it is highly likely unstable. In addition, possible (near) boundary equilibria are also unstable for a wide range of parameter values. We also conduct some numerical experiments and discover cycles as solutions to some particular instances. Since those cycles contain the ToC traps, a policy measure or regulation may need to be employed. Our approach and results will help to figure out a clue to escape from the ToC trap, thereby shedding new light on the sustainable growth of the business ecosystem, which is prone to excessive marketing competition.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1155\/2014\/952046","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2014,4,27]],"date-time":"2014-04-27T17:04:48Z","timestamp":1398618288000},"page":"1-11","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["A Dynamic Model of the Tragedy of the Commons in Marketing-Intensive Industries"],"prefix":"10.1155","volume":"2014","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4308-1587","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Dohoon","family":"Kim","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Management, Kyung Hee University, 26, Kyungheedae-ro, Dongdaemun-gu, Seoul 130-701, Republic of Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","reference":[{"key":"7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s11747-011-0283-0"},{"key":"9","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1145\/1924421.1924433"},{"issue":"1","key":"14","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"87","DOI":"10.1504\/IJEBR.2013.054855","volume":"6","year":"2013","journal-title":"International Journal of Economics and Business Research"},{"first-page":"511","volume-title":"Strategic servicification\u2014a quality based approach beyond service-engineering","year":"2008","key":"15"},{"key":"16","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1509\/jmkr.47.2.215"},{"key":"17","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1126\/science.1059342"},{"issue":"3859","key":"18","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1243","DOI":"10.1126\/science.162.3859.1243","volume":"162","year":"1968","journal-title":"Science"},{"issue":"2","key":"19","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"73","DOI":"10.1007\/s10676-004-2895-2","volume":"6","year":"2004","journal-title":"Ethics and Information Technology"},{"key":"21","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.biosystems.2009.10.003"},{"issue":"80","key":"22","volume":"10","year":"2013","journal-title":"Journal of the Royal Society Interface"},{"key":"23","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1073\/pnas.0508201103"},{"key":"24","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1209\/0295-5075\/86\/30007"},{"key":"25","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1088\/1367-2630\/11\/9\/093033"},{"issue":"9","key":"26","volume":"14","year":"2012","journal-title":"New Journal of Physics"},{"issue":"2","key":"27","first-page":"67","volume":"23","year":"2013","journal-title":"Asia Pacific Journal of Information Systems"},{"key":"28","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1103\/PhysRevE.80.056104"},{"key":"29","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1103\/PhysRevE.83.036101"},{"volume":"3","journal-title":"Scientific Reports","year":"2013","key":"30"}],"container-title":["Journal of Applied Mathematics"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"http:\/\/downloads.hindawi.com\/journals\/jam\/2014\/952046.pdf","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"http:\/\/downloads.hindawi.com\/journals\/jam\/2014\/952046.xml","content-type":"application\/xml","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"http:\/\/downloads.hindawi.com\/journals\/jam\/2014\/952046.pdf","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2017,6,22]],"date-time":"2017-06-22T08:15:32Z","timestamp":1498119332000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"http:\/\/www.hindawi.com\/journals\/jam\/2014\/952046\/"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2014]]},"references-count":18,"alternative-id":["952046","952046"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1155\/2014\/952046","relation":{},"ISSN":["1110-757X","1687-0042"],"issn-type":[{"type":"print","value":"1110-757X"},{"type":"electronic","value":"1687-0042"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2014]]}}}
