In its short-lived history, the American airline industry has undergone numerous changes. This study examines shifts in organizational form in the industry during the post-regulatory period. Airline firms occupy several types of strategic niches, which are characterized by niche width distinctions of generalist and specialist, using Carroll's (1985) resource-partitioning framework. Burt's concept of "structural holes" (1992) is also used to refine conceptualization of the specialist niche. Theory based on these ideas is used to develop empirical predictions about the founding, mortality and strategic posture of both generalist and specialist carriers as a function of the organizational structure of the industry.

520 $a In its short-lived history, the American airline industry has undergone numerous changes. This study examines shifts in organizational form in the industry during the post-regulatory period. Airline firms occupy several types of strategic niches, which are characterized by niche width distinctions of generalist and specialist, using Carroll's (1985) resource-partitioning framework. Burt's concept of "structural holes" (1992) is also used to refine conceptualization of the specialist niche. Theory based on these ideas is used to develop empirical predictions about the founding, mortality and strategic posture of both generalist and specialist carriers as a function of the organizational structure of the industry.
520 $a Three primary types of data are used to test the theoretical predictions: (1) comprehensive life history data (available for every U.S. scheduled airline from 1972-1994); (2) hub utilization data (available for every major U.S. scheduled carrier from 1982-1995); and (3) strategic posture data (available for every scheduled U.S. national and major carrier from 1982-1994). The tests use a novel direct network measure of specialist niche as well as a more conventional measure. Generalized quasi-likelihood estimates of an event-count model are used to predict foundings, maximum likelihood estimates of a piecewise constant-rate model to predict mortality, and least squares estimates of a panel model to predict strategic posture.
520 $a Strong support is found for the resource partitioning process. In general, as the airline market becomes more concentrated, more specialist carriers get founded and they experience lower hazards of mortality. Findings show that network centralization variables perform well as predictors of both founding and mortality; the conventional market concentration measure does well in the mortality analysis but does not fare as well in the founding analysis. Additionally, findings show that with the advent of specialist organizations, generalists respond by becoming more specialized. However, generalists do not focus solely on responding to specialist entry. As the generalist sub-population grows in numbers, the generalists become less specialized in their strategic posture. These opposing forces create a pendulum of strategic posture.
