But system software industry and traditional industry have obvious different characteristics and operation law, the most remarkable one is market structure's difference. The thesis summarizes the characteristic of market structure in system software industry, analyses the economic reason, utilizes the improvement ecology population competition LV model to analyze the formation reason of market structure, and take the server operating system market as an example to do econometric research.The thesis divides into five parts:In chapter one, the thesis summarizes the correlative research, limits technical expressions, and gives the new meanings to terminology.In chapter two, the thesis analyses the historical course of system software industry,summarizes the characteristic——"centralized" market structure, and finds out that the economicreason is network externalities. The thesis also studies the mechanism of network externalities in system software industry and the typical market characteristics.In chapter three, the ecological competition model is improved to simulate the dynamic competition between technical standards in system software market. The thesis calculates the model balanced solution and discusses the balanced solution stability in different situation.In chapter four, an important subdivided industry, the operating system industry, is taken as an example to do econometric analysis. It can examine the model and forecast the market development tendency.In chapter five, the research work is summarized, and the thesis points out the problems which are needed to do further research.
