lukitusvaikutuksista
Lukitusvaikutuksista, often translated as "lock-in effects," refers to a phenomenon where individuals or entities become resistant to changing their current course of action or adopting new alternatives, even when those alternatives might be objectively superior. This resistance stems from a variety of factors, including sunk costs, learned behaviors, established infrastructure, or contractual obligations.

Behavioral economics also explores psychological lock-in. Individuals may continue with a particular strategy or investment simply
In organizational contexts, lock-in can arise from deeply ingrained corporate culture, specialized training, or proprietary systems.
