The sailing ship effect is a phenomenon by which the introduction of a new technology to a market accelerates the innovation of an incumbent technology. Despite the fact that the term was coined by W. H. Ward in 1967 the concept was made clear much earlier in a book by S. C. Gilfillan entitled Inventing the Ship, published in 1935.
