Market Needs

Technology-based innovation can comes either from market needs (market pull) then obtained the discovery of new innovation technology to help meet the needs of the community or from new invention which was later adapted by the community (technology push) that become useful new needs. The purpose of this paper is to determine the implications that what works better between technology push or market pull in technological innovation carried out by researchers in creating new technologies. In this paper, the study used the example of one of the universities in Indonesia, the ITB because it has a research institute that more active than any other university in Indonesia. Sample taken from the new product invention that have been successfully commercialized or not. To know whether successfully commercialized inventions are more likely depart from the market pull or technology push. We got the result of this research from technology innovation product that has been patented, from dept interviews by the researchers in ITB, and from focus group discussion among the junior researchers. The result of technology innovation product that only has been patented and the technology innovation product that already is commercialized and used by many people will be different. We will see the beginning of the idea appearance and the commercialization of their product innovation in the market from the researchers.

Over Time

This is the first of three chapters that review the factors that drive the demand for, supply of, and the incentives to introduce new products. It explores the determination of the demand for newly launched products, with emphasis upon intertemporal development. Parallels are drawn with the literature on the diffusion of new technologies and it is emphasized how learning, differences between buyers, stock effects, order, and other effects impact upon the demand. The issue of new suppliers offering further products on the market is explored with a distinction between new to market and new to firm products and between horizontal and vertical innovations. The demand for a product innovation may change over time as products, knowledge, and the number of suppliers changes. One might expect that prices (and price expectations) play a major role in the determination of demand, but many other factors also come into play.

Agile Approach

AbstractThe electricity sector is in the midst of a structural change driven by new technologies. In Brazil, the electricity sector regulation has mechanisms to foster innovation, including investments in R&D. Recently, the regulatory agency and the industry have been calling for approaches to increase the rate at which R&D departments generate solutions that end up being adopted. As a result, novel approaches to R&D project management have entered the agenda. In this context, the objective of this paper is to characterise Agile Product Development and its application in a highly regulated sector. The paper presents a systematic literature review with the debates about Agile and new product development. Then, a case study exploring an early adoption of the Agile approach in R&D project management in the Brazilian electricity sector is presented. Results include the identification of the Agile features most frequently mentioned in the literature. Moreover, the case study explores the Agile features that were more easily absorbed in early adoption, such as iterative patterns, and discusses implementation challenges in team structure, feedback loops, and communication.

Start Ups

PurposeInnovation, digital solutions and scalability are some of the integral distinctive elements of start-ups. Due to these factors, the management of risks for businesses of this nature demands a specific approach. The purpose of this paper is to propose the identification, analysis and treatment of risks in the introduction of new technologies by Catarse, the biggest site for crowdfunding in Latin America, founded with the vision of net present value adjusted to the risk of developing a new product (NPVR) and enterprise risks in the environment of value, aiming to provide the guidelines for the improvement of this process.Design/methodology/approachThe empirical research realized in this study is of a qualitative nature and was conducted using the case study method, which had its data collected through interviews with key managers and documents provided by the organizations. Data analysis was based on Mileset al.’s (2014) model, whereby data were condensed and visualized, and conclusions were developed and checked.FindingsAmong the main results, there is the proposition of a deductive-inductive analysis of risks in start-ups by means of calculation of the net present value adjusted to the risk of developing a new product (NPVR), analysis of the decisions made by the entrepreneur and the processes of business communication and development of the product.Practical implicationsThe authors propose the identification of important factors for the management of uncertainties and risks in start-ups.Social implicationsThe authors present an important case study in Latin America, Catarse, which helps entrepreneurs to develop their start-ups.Originality/valueAs the main contribution, this paper proposes the identification of elements for the management of uncertainties and risks in start-ups, which brings elements to provide the calculation of the net present value adjusted to the risk of developing a new product (NPVR), process or service, as well as the contribution of the level of risk management maturity of the studied company.

Positive Effect

What determines state participation in regulatory regimes? This article argues that if international regulation creates markets for new technologies, innovative companies support the ratification of the relevant regulatory treaties. Consequently, technological innovativeness should have a positive effect on regulatory treaty ratification. From the harmonization of telecommunication technology to pesticide regulation, many regulatory treaties create new product markets, so the argument applies to a variety of regulatory issues. This hypothesis is tested against data on the ratification of two major multilateral treaties for pesticide control: the 1998 Rotterdam Convention and the 2001 Stockholm Convention. Countries that are capable of biotechnology innovation are found to be more likely to ratify each treaty. The findings suggest that (1) technology innovation is key to regulatory treaty ratification and (2) constituency preferences for regulatory treaties are contingent upon expected profits from innovation. More broadly, the article emphasizes the importance of technological factors for international co-operation.
