Modeling Risk-Benefit Assumptions in Technology Substitution

Products processed by white oyster mushrooms as healthy food and consumed by the community are cultivated from the harvest of the "MEKAR SARI" MSMEs farmer group through a group of housewives in the Semolowaru area of Surabaya. The problem of partners, namely MSMEs "MEKAR SARI" is the lack of knowledge and information from the public about processed white oyster mushrooms with a variety of variants. mushroom pins. The purpose of this service is to provide added value to the Oyster Mushroom as a household business opportunity because it has a high enough nutritional content that can be processed into a variety of delicious foods. The methods used are (1) training / training related to goods and services, diffusion of science and technology, substitution of science and technology (renewable science and technology), or simulation of science and technology; (2) Continuous education; (3) awareness / increased understanding of a problem; (4) consultation / mentoring / mediation. The results obtained from the implementation of this community service are emphasized program outputs which can be in the form of products / goods or services produced by partners as an indicator of program success.

Technology Substitution

Purpose Disruptive technologies in the global logistics industry are often regarded as a threat to the existing business models of incumbents’ companies. Existing research, however, focuses mainly on whether technologies have disruptive potential, thereby neglecting when such disruptive transitions occur. To understand the timing of potential disruptive technological change, this paper aims to investigate the elements of the underlying ecosystem shaping these transitions. Design/methodology/approach Building on the established ecosystem framework from Adner and Kapoor (2016a), this paper constructs four categories of technology substitution to assess how quickly disruptive change may occur in the global logistics industry and defines key technology substitution determinants in logistics to emphasize the role of ecosystems for further consideration into disruptive innovation theory. Findings Based on the key determinants, this paper proposes first definitions of distinctive ecosystems elements linked to the three types of innovations, namely, sustaining innovations, low-end disruptions and new-market disruptions, thereby integrating ecosystems into Christensen’s (1997) disruptive innovation theory. Originality/value By developing a framework that conceptualizes the pace of technology substitution, this paper contributes to a more nuanced understanding of how logistics managers and academics can better predict disruptive transitions and develop strategies to allocate resources.
