Problem-driven innovation models for emerging technologies

Radical innovation from the confluence of technologies: Innovation management strategies for the emerging nanobiotechnology industry

We investigate how the confluence of technologies can lead to radical innovation, thus creating opportunities at the firm and industry levels. To do so, we conduct a detailed examination of the development of the transistor and of two nanobiotechnology drugs — Doxil and Zevalin — from an innovation management perspective. We argue that three innovation management strategies are central to the d...

Innovation and Commercialization of Emerging Technologies (Part 4 of 5)

nnovation does not necessarily proceed linearly from basic scientific research to product development; it is an iterative process of both matching market needs to technological capabilities and conducting research to fill gaps in knowledge, whether during product conception, product design, manufacturing, marketing, or other phases of the innovation process. Commercial success depends as much o...

Emerging Technologies for Telemedicine

This paper focuses on new technologies that are practically useful for telemedicine. Three representative systems are introduced: a Digital Video Transport System (DVTS), an H.323 compatible videoconferencing system, and Vidyo. Based on some of our experiences, we highlight the advantages and disadvantages of each technology, and point out technologies that are especially targeted at doctors an...
