Q

innovation’s technology stages

A
  • embryonic technology
  • pace maker technology
  • key technology
  • basic technology
17
Q

embryonic technology

A

laboratory stage => some limited commercial experimentation

  • high R+D investment needed
  • very high risk + difficult value assessment
  • very high differentiation potential
18
Q

pace maker technology

A

could become tomorrows key technology

  • no reliable technological standard + potential f. diffusion
  • latent potential f. high value but high risk
19
Q

key technology

A

provide competitive advantage

  • only used by major players
  • potential differentiation + competitive advantage
20
Q

basic technology

A

an organization must master to be an effective competitor

  • established standard in whole industry
  • no differentiation potential anymore
21
Q

adaptor categories

A
  1. innovators
  2. early adopters
  3. early majority
  4. late majority
  5. laggards
22
Q

attractiveness of technology depending on diffusion + differentiation

A

lower diffusion -> higher differentiation -> higher market potential -> higher attractiveness

23
Q

Technology

A

knowledge, facts, and abilities for solving technical problems
+
equipment and methods for the practical realization of (scientific) results

24
Q

Technology-Portfolio-Analysis

A
  • Illustration of current and future technology position possible
  • Evaluation along external (independent) and internal (dependent) criterion
  • Recommendations for actions concerning a company’s technology strategy
25
Q

Technology-Portfolio-Analysis steps

A
  1. Identification of technology
  2. Evaluation and positioning of a technology according to
    a) Evaluate a technology’s attractiveness
    b) firm’s (relative) resource strength (with regards to the respective technology)
  3. Deduction of norm strategies and recommendations for action
  4. Transformation of technology portfolio
26
Q

Tools for innovative thinking/ parallel thinking

A
  • reversed brainstorming
  • morphological matrix
  • parallel thinking tool: six thinking heads
27
Q

reverse brain storming

A
  • define topic + goal
  • reverse goal
  • classical brainstorming
  • reverse ideas
  • evaluate ideas => potential solution/ attributes of a solution
28
Q

morphological matrix

A
  1. attributes of examined object listed as matrix columns
  2. vary attributes in as many combinations as possible
  3. selecting one entry per column => creating of a new product ( modes. randomly/ focus on interesting combinations)
  4. evaluate combinations value generation (marketability=
29
