This case study used a technology readiness level (TRL), market attractiveness level (MAL), and customer readiness level (CRL) to measure the prospect of promising products. The TRL, MAL, and CRL were measured using Delphi methods. A TRL is composed of basic research as well as experimental, prototype, practical, and commercial stages. A market attractiveness level is made up of global market size, global market growth rate, and government policy suitability. A customer readiness level was measured using consumer preference. The promising products were mainly selected as information communication and software related products. Among the technologies and products announced by domestic and foreign organizations, products suitable for research and development tasks of small and medium-sized enterprises were selected. The results of this case study are expected to be committed for the enhancement of the success rate of commercialization for small and medium-sized enterprises by being dedicated to the R&D planning of small and medium-sized enterprises in the ICT (Information and Communication Technology)/SW (Software)) field and proposing a direction to pursue the business. The purpose of this paper is to propose an approach to measure the prospect of promising products by using three levels: TRL, MAL, and CRL, which are measured using Delphi methods. This approach aims to enhance the success rate of commercialization for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs).

Technology and products are developed based on innovation, through sequential stages from basic research tocommercialization. The concept of Technology Readiness Level (TRL) defines technology development into nine stages,from idea generation (TRL 1) to the development of technology and products for commercialization (TRL 9). Leaping fromone implementation stage to another in technology development may result in technological valley of death. The processindustry is a group of industries that involve chemical processes in converting raw materials into products via series ofunit processes. Technology development for the process industry can also be defined in stages of technology readinesslevels, by using adapted specific targets for each stage. This paper presents a concept for assessing the development oftechnology for the process industry. A case study on analyzing technology readiness level for the technology developmentfor the Fercaf industry is presented along with factors involved.

Investigation of development and implementation of social innovations in regions of Russia is an important scientific problem. A socio-economic and political situation, traditional forms of government affect the forms of business communication and their efficiency. The subjects that determine the information and communication space of innovators are business, educational institutions and the state (Triple Helix theory). We also proceed from the fact that socio-economic development of the territory (case study of Volgograd region) depends on business, government and non-profit (third) sector as the main subjects of activity. We explore the communication as a resource for the formation of innovative activity; economic, political and cultural factors of this process are also researched. The research was carried out with the support of the RFBR (The Russian Foundation for Basic Research) and the Volgograd region administration (project № 17-13-34010). Young researchers, young entrepreneurs and experts were surveyed using qualitative methods. The results of the study allowed us to gain answers to the following questions: a) what communications are required for the formation of social capital; b) how to develop and implement innovations through communication. The study has showed that the problem with communication is systemic and affects all actors.

Abstract Social, economic, and technological recent developments leading companies to face new production challenges. Companies will need physical and virtual structures allowing cooperation and quick adaptation along all value chain. To this matter, one of the main foundations of industry 4.0 is the use of information and communication technologies systems. Many companies are using information and communication systems without integration with business partners and even also with internal departments. This gap needs to be analyzed and it can be made by measuring the status of the industry 4.0 enabling technologies adoption inside a company using maturity or readiness models transmitting knowledge and pathing initiatives to help on progress and monitorization, looking forward to the future status of the internal value chain. On a qualitative and quantitative matter, this study presents the industry 4.0 enabling technologies readiness level of three departments of an automotive company internal value chain. This case study shows different readiness level on each department and limitations to reach better levels such as potential results if the benefits of industry 4.0 enabling technologies were reach on a company that assumes to be aligned with the industry 4.0 strategy.

Information And Communication

One of the most crucial areas in which information and technologies need to be managed in our information-rich society is in schools. Whilst information overload is often associated with organisations or social communication, schools represent the intersection of several stakeholders for whom information and communication must be managed effectively. Using a case study of a school in a Gulf State, this chapter analyses how mismanagement and miscommunication relating to the use of ICT is hindering the educational progress of children by examining school/teacher-pupil interaction; home-school communication, and; the application of ICT in the curriculum. It presents a professional and parental perspective on how the use and management of information technologies and effective communication are critical in maintaining acceptable levels of educational achievement. It draws on the experiences of both pupils and parents and uses a framework of participant observation to illustrate the problems of information overload as mismanagement and miscommunication.

Systems readiness level (SRL) is a metric defined for assessing progress in the development of systems. The methodologies to estimate SRLs are built on the technology readiness level (TRL), originally developed by NASA to assess the readiness of new technologies for insertion into a system. TRL was later adopted by governmental institutions and many industries, including the American Petroleum Institute (API). The TRL of each component is mathematically combined with another metric, integration readiness level (IRL), to estimate the overall level of readiness of a system. An averaging procedure is then used to estimate the composite level of systems readiness. The present paper builds on the previous paper by Yasseri (2013) and presents case examples to demonstrate the estimation of SRL using two approaches. The objective of the present paper is to show how the TRL, IRL, and SRL are combined mathematically.<br/> The performance of the methodology is also demonstrated in a parametric study by pushing the states of readiness to their extremes, namely very low and very high readiness. The present paper compares and contrasts the two major system readiness levels estimation methods: one proposed by Sauser et al. (2006) for defence acquisition based on NASA's TRL scale, and another based on API's TRL scale. The differences and similarities are demonstrated using a case study.

Abstract Anticipatory Failure Determination (AFD) is a tool used in the TRIZ (Theory of Inventive Problem Solving) methodology. This article introduces its concept and describes the process of AFD in different versions of the method. The article presents the application of the AFD method at a very early state of a system’s development, i.e. its concept formulation stage, which corresponds to a technology readiness level (TRL) equal to 2. The system under analysis is a set of devices used to reduce displacement ship hull resistance. The system was modelled using functional analysis. An analysis of system resources was then carried out. Possible direct, indirect, and accident-related failures were identified. A multi-criteria analysis of the causes of system failures was conducted from which the top 10 potential failures were selected. Observations were made on the applicability of AFD in respect to systems not yet implemented.
