Primitive Emergence of Technology Possibilities: A Major Source of Technology Uncertainty

Technological uncertainty is an enduring challenge that has profound implications for businesses, policymakers, and society at large. One of the primary sources of this uncertainty is the primitive emergence of…

Sustained Wealth Creation from Ideas: Science and Engineering Competence for Inventions and Scalability is Not Enough

In a Market Economy, the freedom to compete and profit from ideas is a foundational principle. However, this freedom alone is insufficient to drive sustained Wealth creation from ideas. Historical…

R&D Risk Mitigation through Progressive Rollout: Unlocking Value from Increasingly Complex Technology Possibilities

Progressive rollout is an essential strategy for deriving economic value from emerging or pacing technologies through R&D risk mitigation. This management approach involves incrementally applying technological advances to progressively larger…

Refining Acquired Technologies: Crucial Role of Internal R&D for Scaling up Innovations

Irrespective of greatness, no single technology alone can power successful innovations. No organization can fully depend on internal technology inventions either to unlock value from reinventions and evolution of innovations.…

Crossing the Chasm of Geoffrey Moore fails to articulate the role of technology hurdles in causing chasms in technology innovation diffusion path and role of R&D in crossing them
