The Big King sandwich is one of the major hamburger products sold by the international fast-food restaurant chain Burger King, and was part of its menu for more than twenty years.

Big Losses in Ecosystem Niches: How Core Firm Decisions Drive Complementary Product Shakeouts. This paper examines shakeouts in the context of business ecosystems. Market turbulence generated by core firm decisions in competing differentiated ecosystems can generate financial losses and exit for complementary niche market firms. I develop hypotheses predicting which niche markets will suffer larger losses and be more susceptible to shakeouts, and how core firm decisions will drive complementor performance and survival. I then apply these hypotheses to brand-based differentiated ecosystems in the automotive industry, where networks of suppliers, customers, and complementors surround car manu…
