When a rm introduces a radical innovation, consumers are unaware of the product's uses and bene ts. Moreover, consumers are unsure whether they even need the product. In this context, we model the marketing communication process as a two-sided process that involves both rms' and consumers' costly e orts to transmit and assimilate the novel product concept. Its success endogenously generates con...

Evidence from management and business strategy research is divided over whether or not a firm should outsource the components and processes underpinning a new and potentially radical innovation. This investigation introduces ideas and evidence from the areas of supplier relations and industry clockspeed, and attempts to reconcile conflicting conclusions from earlier research by using a survey t...

This article analyzes the link between the use of concurrent engineering (CE) and success in new product development (NPD) under varying conditions of uncertainty and complexity—radical versus incremental innovations. Using linear regression, the results obtained indicate that overlapping activities, inter-functional integration and teamwork positively affect NPD performance in terms of develop...

Technological change is perhaps the most powerful engine of growth in markets today. To harness this source of growth, firms need answers to key questions about the dynamics of technological change: (1) How do new technologies evolve? (2) How do rival technologies compete? and (3) How do firms deal with technological evolution? Currently, the literature suggests that a new technology seems to e...

The E-commerce innovating applications have moved from Web-based commerce, Mcommerce to U-commerce. This study systematically examines these innovative changes based on the dimensions of core technological component and business model, then analyze their impact on the stakeholders of E-commerce: e-businesses, customers, and complementary providers. The results indicate that M-commerce innovatio...

I n summer 2015, Carlos Moedas—the new European Commissioner for Research, Science and Innovation—presented his vision for the future of science and innovation in Europe. In doing so, he identified three challenges facing EU member states in the years to come. First, he said that Europe is lagging behind in transferring the results of research into new products and services: too often, new tech...

In this paper the role of technology based knowledge intensive business services (KIBS) in commercialisation of knowledge is examined. The paper is written from the point of view of innovation management and the paper is based on a broad conception of innovation. In this conception innovations are embedded in social activities, there are many kind of innovations besides radical technological in...

We investigate how variety affects the innovation output of a region. Borrowing arguments from theories of recombinant innovation, we expect that related variety will enhance innovation as related technologies are more easily recombined into a new technology. However, we also expect that unrelated variety enhances technological breakthroughs, since radical innovation often stems from connecting...
