Nanotechnology, which involves creating and manipulating organic and inorganic matter from the molecular to the nanoscale level, is an emerging, enabling technology that is receiving enormous amounts of attention in industrial and scientific communities. It is an umbrella term for a wide range of science and technologies. Significant and rapid advances in nanoscience and nanotechnology have been made in the past two decades. Numerous potential applications have been identified, with a promise to transform virtually every industry. These industries include aerospace, agriculture, biotechnology, electronics, energy and environment, information technology and telecommunication, materials science and manufacturing, and medicine. Governments from developed nations around the globe and private investors, including venture capitalists, are investing heavily in nanotechnology. Established companies and entrepreneurial startup firms are now exploring options for commercializing nanotechnology innovations. This thesis was initiated to investigate the current state of nanotechnology commercialization with respect to identifying the differences in commercialization strategies between startup firms and large corporations; the managerial and technical challenges facing nanotechnology based companies; the critical success factors in commercializing nanotechnologies; and the factors limiting the adoption and diffusion of nanotechnologies. The results and analysis of the interviews demonstrate that commercialization strategies for large corporations differ from those for start-up companies, with respect to methods for entering new business, funding new business, project selection criteria, risk management. There are several
(cont.) critical success factors which firms attempting to commercialize nanotechnology-based innovation must carefully consider. These factors, along with current and potential managerial and technical challenges identified by the study are discussed. The pace of commercialization will become rapid, and products based on nanotechnology will gain market acceptance once the identified are resolved.

In the biotechnology industry today, there are many business models for project commercialization. These models range from independent vertical integration to certain forms of collaboration with pharmaceutical companies to complete acquisitions of projects by the big pharmaceutical companies. In this thesis, we wanted to study commercialization strategies of several biotechnology companies. We wanted to investigate the rational for commercialization decisions and the consequence of these decisions on biotechnology firms'. Thus, we conducted interviews with either founders or senior managers of business development of nine biotechnology firms to address these issues. Our results demonstrate that biotechnology firms reluctantly enter partnership agreements with pharmaceutical companies. In addition, there are delays in the negotiation process before agreements are reached, which can have negative impact on biotechnology firms. Furthermore, concentration on core competencies and the presence of champions at the pharmaceutical partners are two essential elements of successful commercialization for biotechnology firms.

Microelectromechanical systems (MEMS), at their core are a set of technologies that employ the processes developed in the integrated circuit (IC) and semiconductor industries to construct electro- mechanical devices. In the case of Microopticelectromechanical systems (MOEMS), optical elements are also integrated into these devices. MEMS technology holds the promise of significantly miniaturizing, reducing the cost of, and enhancing the performance of many sensors and actuators, evidence its widespread use in the manufacture of accelerometers, ink jet printer heads and various chemical gas sensors. Despite its stellar success in these "killer-applications," MEMS technology has failed to realize the widespread success many had predicted for it. Nonetheless, this technology has recently been explored extensively for new electro-optics applications, specifically in telecommunications for dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM) and optical switching. This thesis examines various models of dynamic technology adoption and explores how they apply to MEMS technology. Furthermore, by way of historical comparison to the development of application specific integrated circuit (ASIC), it will identify various developmental similarities. Finally, a unique model outlining the critical driving forces behind the adoption of MEMS technology will be constructed.

Microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) comprise a set of technologies for the micromachining and electromechanical integration of sensors and actuators. MEMS allow for the radical miniaturization of such devices, as well as for significant improvements in performance and cost over conventionally fabricated mechanical and electrical components. In this thesis, I attempt to assess the value inherent in MEMS innovations and to understand how companies have tried to capture that value. In doing so, I assess the pathways and prospects for the commercialization of MEMS-based devices. I have chosen to focus on two classes of devices: (1) micromachined accelerometers for crash sensing and subsequent air bag deployment in automobiles, and (2) microfabricated chemical sensing and analysis devices for detecting and quantifying gas phase molecules, analyzing complex molecular mixtures, and carrying out high throughput screening of chemical compounds. Accelerometers are an example of a MEMS-based sensor that has almost completely displaced existing electromechanical substitute devices. Applications of MEMS to chemical sensing and analysis, however, are less mature and widespread adoption is less assured. In both cases, I evaluate the opportunities in the new technology from several different perspectives: (1) the factors that affect the transition from innovative technologies to marketable products; (2) the economic, market, and strategic forces that influence the adoption of these products; and (3) the business models of companies that have attempted to profit from MEMS innovations. I conclude the thesis with a chapter on potential strategic market barriers to successful commercialization of MEMS-based devices.

Effective execution and alignment of data management across development and manufacturing teams is essential for Amgen's Drug Product Technology group to realize its main goals of shortening the development timeline and ensuring robust commercial manufacturing. The right data management strategy can help address these goals by accelerating development work and regulatory filing as well as improving commercial manufacturing efficiency. In the face of challenges associated with rapid growth and an expanding product pipeline, Amgen's commitment to standardizing development work and digitizing both clinical and commercial manufacturing has introduced many opportunities for new data management initiatives, improvements, and a revamped overall data management strategy. We identify a framework for the development of a data management strategy for the Drug Product Technology group to enable greater efficiency and alignment across development and manufacturing teams. The primary steps in data management and objectives at each step were determined. While a full data management strategy has been recommended to the Drug Product Technology group as a set of current and future projects, this thesis focuses on three specific case study projects within the overall strategy: (1) data generation and collection in drug product manufacturing, (2) real-time multivariate statistical process monitoring of lyophilization in clinical manufacturing, and (3) integration of development study data through electronic lab notebook software. Based on insights from these case studies, we make specific recommendations for further improvements in data management.

Clean energy technologies lower harmful emissions associated with the generation and use of power (e.g. CO2) and many of these technologies have been shown to be cost effective and to provide significant benefits to adopters. Examples of clean energy technologies include renewable and/or efficient distributed generation (e.g. solar, wind, geothermal, fuel cells, cogeneration); energy efficiency technologies; intelligent energy management; efficient energy storage; green building technologies; biofuels; and ancillary products and services that reduce emissions associated with power generation, transmission and distribution. This thesis examines why new ventures founded to commercialize these technologies have failed to achieve widespread adoption. Based on interviews with clean energy entrepreneurs and other stakeholders and on case studies of clean energy technology ventures, a new venture simulation model was developed that models the cash flow, labor force, market, competition, and product development for a prototypical clean energy technology venture. When the model is parameterized to correspond to a venture that starts with superior technology at an attractive price its behavior corresponds to the experience of many of the companies interviewed.
(cont.) The modeled venture takes many years to achieve profitability due to long sales cycles, limits to market growth, and the time needed to gain experience producing and selling its products, and therefore has a high probability of failure. Analysis of the model results in a set of guidelines for what these ventures, investors, and policy makers should do to increase their odds of success. The venture is better off starting with more sales and marketing personnel and expertise rather than engineers, and should develop no more product features than are necessary to sell the product. The venture should forego recurring revenue and instead receive payments up front whenever possible. A single initial equity investment in the venture is considerably more valuable than a series of investments. Government policies that raise the cost of carbon emissions; reduce barriers and increase incentives for adoption of clean energy technologies; and subsidize the development of these technologies can greatly increase the growth of these ventures and the odds of success.

Over the past century, materials have faced notoriously long delays between invention and commercialization. These delays make private investment very difficult, and can prevent good materials from reaching markets. A systematic exploration of the commercial histories of major commodity thermoplastics was performed, which showed that these delays were attributable to technical deficiencies in materials and obstacles in the application value chains. Contrary to popular wisdom, material costs, competitive materials, and serendipity were much smaller factors in commercialization delay. The factors that led to insertion of plastics into applications were different from the factors that led to post-insertion growth. The major plastics showed a characteristic pattern of commercialization. First, they entered simple, small applications in which they solved new problems. They then progressed to achieve insertion in a single major application, which they continue to dominate today. Having established themselves with this application, they found insertion in a wide range of large applications. The commercialization pattern can be explained in large part by the concept of switching costs. As knowledge of a material increases, switching costs are reduced; as value chain complexity increases, switching costs increase. The earliest applications required little understanding of plastics and had simple value chains, so switching costs were low, corresponding to fast commercialization. Later applications had more complex value chains and required much more detailed understanding of the failure modes and processing parameters of the material, corresponding to high switching costs and slow commercialization. Materials can be deployed into
(cont.) many markets. By strategically selecting application markets, materials producers can significantly improve the probability that new materials will be adopted and can shorten the period of commercialization. Early markets should be selected based on the ability of the material to solve unique problems and the simplicity of the application value chain. When market selection is not an option, materials producers can integrate forward in the value chain to shorten commercialization times, but capital requirements are very high. Once integrated into an application, the safest competitive position for materials is to be the lowest cost option that meets the exact needs of the application.

NeuroBioChip Device is a programmable, biocompatible, biodegradable, polymer matrix which allows the growth and programming of donor neurons. It creates a microenvironment conducive for neuronal outgrowth and promises a novel cure for neurological disorders caused by localized sites of brain damage, such as Parkinson's disease, stroke, and spinal injury. This chip is being researched in the MIT laboratories of Drs. Robert Langer and Mriganka Sur. My thesis addresses the challenges and possible strategies in commercializing this technology. The need for this treatment was evaluated in the context of current therapies available for the treatment of relevant neurological disorders. Extensive field interviews were conducted. Among other factors, the varying clockspeeds between different components of the device, the unsustainable cost structure and the emerging status of complementary technologies suggested that the development of the therapy is best pursued in collaboration with a large biopharmaceutical or medical device firm.

Scientific research frequently generates tremendous economic value. Yet, this value tends to be elusive and public and private organizations often struggle to obtain returns from their investment in science. This dissertation, composed of three essays, examines persistent challenges to the production and commercialization of new scientific knowledge. The first essay of the dissertation describes simultaneous discoveries and their potential as a research tool for social science. It also introduces the first systematic and automated method to generate a list of such events. The resulting dataset of 578 recent simultaneous discoveries can be used to investigate a number of questions, including the impact of the discovery environment, by using them to conduct the first "twin studies" of new knowledge. As an example, the second essay investigates the relative impact of universities and firms on science-based invention by examining 39 discoveries made simultaneously in academia and in industry. As compared to universities, the results indicate that firms amplify the technological impact of new scientific knowledge. The third essay of the dissertation, coauthored with Fiona Murray and Joshua Gans, explores tradeoffs associated with collaboration in the production of new scientific knowledge. Specifically, we find that collaboration is not only associated with higher-quality output, it is also associated with lower individual productivity as well as challenges surrounding the allocation of credit. Taken together, the three essays examine important challenges associated with the production and commercialization of new scientific knowledge-thus providing insights about the drivers of economic value from public and private investment in science.

Full textAbstract:
The university role in society and economy is currently shifting from mere education and science to applied research and academic entrepreneurship. Highly competitive universities tend to signal about their entrepreneurial orientation by increasing rate of commercialization of the researches, technologies and inventions created by scholars within the institution. Nevertheless, despite this trend being very powerful nowadays, there are multiple hurdles in a way to successful commercialization. Certain criteria are required to transfer research or technology from university to industry which can be categorized in individual/inventor, institutional, technology and market perspectives.
This research is mainly concentrated on studying commercialization of science based technological inventions from the market or business model perspectives. It also suggests that business model could be used by academic entrepreneurs and technology transfer offices as an effective tool to evaluate business opportunity created by the invention and endeavors to prove this suggestion on practice. In addition, this thesis reviews academic literature and provides in-depth view on following topics: university research commercialization and academic entrepreneurship, business model and business opportunity to build theoretical background for further analysis.
The empirical part of the research was carried out on the ground of real case of commercialization project conducted within University of Oulu aiming to commercialize 3D solid-state laser scanner and create a university spin-off with this technology as main asset. The study follows qualitative approach based on action research. Selected method is especially beneficial in analyzing data collected during multiple meetings and discussions of project team in a period spanning around six months. The findings of the research revealed that examining the commercialization opportunity of science based technological invention is not an easy task — the evaluation process can be time consuming and requires comprehensive market research on each business opportunity. Proposed business model framework can be used to evaluate and, thus, identify most promising commercialization opportunities created by university based technologies, but under certain conditions. First, important market information on each application area should be available, so researchers should engage themselves into active information search from early stages. Second, real data from potential customers is required especially in case of emerging industry domains in order to answer the main questions making the evaluation process by academic entrepreneur possible — can the opportunity be considered as feasible and desirable. Addressing these queries carries predictive and very subjective nature, but positive assessment enables decision making, thus, being extremely important in entrepreneurship.

Many companies are increasing their focus on Artificial Intelligence as they incorporate Machine Learning and Cognitive technologies into their current offerings. Industries ranging from healthcare, pharmaceuticals, finance, automotive, retail, manufacturing and so many others are all trying to deploy and scale enterprise Al systems while reducing their risk. Companies regularly struggle with finding appropriate and applicable use cases around Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning projects. The field of Artificial Intelligence has a rich set of literature for modeling of technical systems that implement Machine Learning and Deep Learning methods. This thesis attempts to connect the literature for business and technology and for evolution and adoption of technology to the emergent properties of Artificial Intelligence systems. The aim of this research is to identify high and low value market segments and use cases within the industries, prognosticate the evolution of different Al technologies and begin to outline the implications of commercialization of such technologies for various stakeholders. This thesis also provides a framework to better prepare business owners to commercialize Artificial Intelligence technologies to satisfy their strategic goals.

Full textAbstract:
Commercialization of products is an essential process for a firm in the course of value delivery. It is sometimes seen as a yardstick used in measuring the performance of the firm in the market as well as the revenue generating capacity of a firm. Premised on this, it is pertinent to ask how a successful commercialization strategy is being planned and executed by a firm. So, this research is hinged on the role of business model (innovation) in the commercialization strategies in SMEs.
The present study is then focused on how business model innovation contributes to the successful commercialization of products in SMEs and for this reason, a framework is introduced that explains the roles of open innovation, the business environment and product reconfiguration as inherent in the path to success in the market by SMEs. Hence, the framework is further anchored on the use of both inflows and outflows of knowledge or technologies by SMEs in product reconfiguration with the basic aim of commercialization of same successfully in the market. It should be borne in mind that a business model describes the rational a firm will use to make revenue in the process of value delivery and when the business model seems to be ineffective, a replacement comes in. In this wise, business model innovation is the replacement of an existing business model of a firm. Business model innovation will consequently evolve the means of product reconfiguration for a firm in the attempt to re-create and re-deliver value to its customers.
It follows therefore that business model innovation will aid the renewal of an existing product through reconfiguration in order to re-create, re-capture and re-deliver value in the market. In this line, the commercialization of products in the open market requires business model innovation to succeed. The open innovation environment therefore serves as the harbinger through which the innovation of a business model may take place by availing the firm the opportunity to collaborate and share ideas or technologies with others as opposed to the closed innovation attempt.
This study, which is done empirically, aims at contributing theoretically and managerially to helping firms understand the nature of their business model and recognize lapses inherent therein for renewal. More so, it will also serve as an avenue for managers to be more equipped in understanding their existing business model and to detect and benefit from the use of new and incipient technologies. The study has been carried out based on the use of empirical data collected from two case companies in Finland and Nigeria thereby producing a reliable result on the role of business model innovation in the commercialization strategies in SMEs and also demonstrating the importance of business model innovation in the internationalization exertion of SMEs.

The purpose of this thesis is to explore the different challenges facing start-ups that are engaged in intense competition to lead the commercialization of a complex technology that is initially unable to meet the demands of a market. Technology, intellectual property, and go-to market strategies are proposed with a particular focus on wireless power technology in the market for external power adapters. Wireless power technology is a revolutionary technology that promises to replace the two billion external power adapters that are sold every year. It is a seemingly attractive opportunity for a start-up company, but the technology is complicated, the intellectual property landscape is dense, and the competition is intense. The technology will be sold into the pre-existing market for external supplies, which is reeling from declining prices and margins. The market is in need of change, and is looking for innovations that will improve the situation. The commercialization of wireless power technology is a case example of how start-up technology companies can accelerate development times, reduce risk, and build sustainable competitive advantage by carefully planning their technology approach, fully understanding the intellectual property landscape, and leveraging the principles of open innovation. A technology strategy requires the selection of a technology vector which should be determined by weighing the importance of individual product features against the expected levels of technical risk.
(cont.) Within its technology vector, a company must evaluate the strategic importance the various engineering activities based on whether they enable freedom to operate, contribute to the creation of blocking patents, and/or are outside the expertise of potential partner organizations. The start-up should intensely focus its engineering resources on the strategically important activities while farming the remainder of the development work to partner organizations within the greater value chain. A start-up entrenched in a competitive battle to serve a hungry market; with a green technology solution, faces a difficult choice: go to market niche by niche and face irrelevance in the greater market, or swing for the fences and risk bankruptcy. There are options beyond the traditional approaches, and in this case, a three track commercialization strategy is appropriate.

A nation's ability to innovate is paramount for its success and survival among other nations. But capitalizing on these innovations and bringing them to the marketplace are what gives a nation its competitive edge and provide sustainable growth over time in this highly dynamic global economy. In the United States' complex innovation ecosystem, small businesses and entrepreneurs play a crucial role in innovating new technologies and commercializing them. Indeed many of the nation's large, successful and innovative firms started out as small entrepreneurial firms. Microsoft, Intel, AMD, FedEx, Qualcomm, Adobe are examples to these firms. These small entrepreneurial firms with new ideas need to garner fair amount of funding before they can bring their ideas into the marketplace. However for entrepreneurial companies with science based innovative ideas, due to the unproven nature of these ideas and the lack of sufficient public information, there exist knowledge asymmetries. Therefore possibility of getting direct venture capital and/or angel investment becomes very slim for these firms unless the idea's commercial potential is obviously clear or a customer is already available. To address this early stage financing gap and to increase private sector commercialization of innovations, the Federal government offers funding through its three phase private-public partnership innovation program, called Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) program.
(cont.) The purpose of this study is to investigate the existence of any correlations between commercialization of SBIR funded projects, specifically Phase II programs, and various characteristics of the involved entities in attempt to enhance commercialization performance of an SBIR funded company. We hope that the results of this study will be practical in defining commercialization strategies to achieve faster and stronger capitalization on R&D investment for both the awarded company and the federal government and hence the tax payers.

This dissertation is composed of three essays. In the first essay, I build a model of the choice and timing of entry into commercial activities by an academic research team, and analyze the returns and costs of these activities. I compare the behavior and performance of the academic team to an industrial research team. The two teams are assumed to differ in their objectives, governance modes, and incentive systems. I show that, while in some cases academic scientists are more reluctant to commercialize research, in other cases they may commercialize faster than profit-seeking firms would - and perform less basic research. Academic and non-academic scientists also select different projects, and this may explain the good performance of 'academic entrepreneurs' found in several empirical studies. In the light of these results, I interpret the mixed evidence on the success of, and the arguments in favor and against, the involvement of universities into business-related research activities. In the second essay, I define a model of a firm's choice of whether to conduct research in-house or to outsource it to academic research teams.
(cont.) I exploit the fact that companies and universities have different missions, and model the different authority structures implied by different organizational choices in the conduct of research. Outsourcing a project to a university allows a firm to commit not to terminate or alter a scientifically valuable project before completion. This commitment is potentially valuable for the firm in an environment where scientific value and economic value may not coincide, and scientific workers are responsive to the incentives defined by their community of peers. I then formulate some empirical predictions about the kind of research activities firms will outsource to universities, and activities on which they will exert stronger control. I confront these hypotheses with empirical evidence from a sample of industry-university research agreements, as well as from other analyses and case studies, and find patterns consistent with my model. In the third essay, I analyze the restrictions on publication and control over the research agenda for universities and other 'open-science' research organizations, in a sample of biotechnology research contracts where the sponsor party is a for-profit company.
(cont.) I find that stronger publication restrictions appear to be more frequent in projects concerning earlier phase research and projects with longer duration. Research teams based in hospitals have significantly lower publication delays. Longer project duration is also strongly correlated with higher authority of the sponsoring firm over the direction of research. Teams in more prestigious research organizations tend to be subjected to lesser control by the sponsor company.

Full textAbstract:
Bamboo is an abundant resource in Ethiopia and has a great potential for commercialization, which can drive rural development. In view of these realities, this study analyzed the state and determinants of small-scale bamboo commercialization in Ethiopia. Data were collected from three major bamboo-growing districts (Awi, Sidama, and Sheka) and four urban centers (Masha, Hawassa, Bahir Dar, and Addis Ababa) via semi-structured interviews, group discussions, and questionnaire surveys with key actors along the value chain. Results revealed distinctive differences in proportion of cash income, value chain structure, and management engagement among the districts. Percentages of cash income were 60.15, 42.60, and 9.48 at Awi, Sidam, and Sheka, respectively. Differences were statistically significant between Sheka and both other districts (p = 0.05), but not between Awi and Sidama. The value chain structure showed that compared with Sheka, Awi and Sidama have a relatively large number of actors involved. The major factors explaining commercialization differences among regions were distance to market and presence of alternative forest products. Within Sheka, households with larger family size, higher education attainment, and access to training reportedly engaged more in commercial extraction. Therefore, we conclude that development of infrastructure for linking resource and consumer centers and expansion of extension education among producers may enhance the commercial engagement of producers and improve the accessibility of bamboo resources for commercial production.

Globalization has led to the development of emerging markets and economies. With economic expansion around the globe, there is a greater energy demand to sustain this growth. Increasing energy demand has resulted in increase in energy prices and increase in emission levels. While conventional energy technologies have advantage in terms of established infrastructure and lower cost, they are inefficient and rely heavily on fossil fuels. Conventional energy technologies alone cannot sustain and cater to the evolving energy market's needs of higher efficiency, lower emissions and resources conservation. Renewable energy solutions and alternative energy technologies like distributed generation need to be developed to meet this energy demand, conserve the definite resources and reduce emissions. But at the moment, alternative energy technologies due to lack of infrastructure, development cost and regulations are limited in their applications. Therefore in the near term, we recommend that they strategically position themselves in the market with niche and right fit opportunities. We also recommend that they need to utilize the development dollars effectively in integrating technology development with their product development activities and develop durable cost effective products. They also need to develop key partnerships and integrate value across their development and fulfillment chains. Strategic positioning, value chain integration and key execution in development with mature processes will aid alternative energy technologies to overcome the existing market barriers and move towards rapid commercialization.

Full textAbstract:
US corporations have long recognized university related scientific research as an important source of long term economic growth and technological innovation. This dynamic involvement with industry has drastically increased the university technology transfer and licensing activities, and has stretched the human and financial resources of Technology Management and Licensing Offices of many US universities. This research provides a mechanism that can aid in the complex process of properly assessing university-owned technologies and intellectual properties, to identify those with licensing and commercialization potential for the pursuit of truly important breakthrough discoveries. This research focuses on the university technology licensing and commercialization process from the perspectives of those licensing professionals whose firms' activities are engaged in licensing-in university technologies. The objectives of this research are to: 1.Identify the decision factors and licensing determinants that influence or impact the licensing and commercialization of university technologies. 2.Build and conduct a survey among those licensing professionals involved in the technology licensing process to determine the relative importance of each of the licensing determinants identified in the literature review, and their most current and up to date selection criteria for technologies they license. 3.Develop a framework to assist the University Technology Management & Transfer Office's personnel and other stakeholders in the assessment of the potential viability of the university technologies for licensing and commercialization.Ph.D.

Na região da Nova Alta Paulista, estado de São Paulo, a cultura da acerola encontra clima favorável para o seu desenvolvimento, mas o suprimento de água é importante para uma produção de melhor qualidade e de maior constância. Alguns produtores da região já irrigam seus pomares de aceroleiras, mas esta irrigação é feita sem critério técnico, pois inexistem trabalhos científicos sobre a cultura na região. Foram comparados o cultivo de sequeiro com o desempenho de quatro sistemas de irrigação (gotejamento na superfície, gotejamento sub-superficie, microaspersão e mangueira perfurada a laser). Foram avaliados os seguintes parâmetros: armazenamento de água no solo, produção da cultura, peso e diâmetro médio de frutos, rendimento de suco, porcentagem de sólidos solúveis totais (Brix), teor de vitamina C nos frutos, sistema radicular, movimento de nutrientes no perfil do solo, qualidade da água de irrigação. Observou-se que a irrigação influenciou a qualidade dos frutos, promovendo a produção de frutos maiores e mais pesados, contudo, a irrigação não influenciou na produção total de frutos por planta, mas promoveu uma melhor distribuição da produção, promovendo maior receita para o produtor (R$6.876,67/ha) pois, na safra 2000/01 houve dificuldade na comercialização dos frutos, sendo que parte da produção de acerola teve que ser descartada. A necessidade hídrica média da cultura da aceroleira na região foi de 1.212 m3/(ha.mês), não sendo possível a produção o ano todo, mesmo com irrigação.
The acerola crop encounters a favorable climate for its development in the Nova Paulista region, in the State of São Paulo. However, water supply is important for improving its quality and constancy in its producing conditions. Some growers in the region already irrigate their orchards, notwithstanding the fact that the irrigation is done without technical criteria, due to the absence of scientific works on the crop. Non irrigated areas performance was compared with four different irrigations systems (surface trickling, subsurface trickling, micro sprinkling and laser perforated pipes). The following parameters were evaluated: water storage in the soil, crop production, medium weight of the fruits, medium diameter of the fruits, juice production, percentage of total soluble solid material (Brix), vitamin C amount in the fruits, root systems, translocation of nutrients in the soil profile, quality of irrigation water. It was observed that irrigation influenced fruit quality, contributing for the production of larger size and heavier fruits. However, irrigation had no influence on total fruit yield per plant, having promoted a better distribution in year - round production, resulting in greater income for the growers (R$ 6.876,67/ha) considering that in the 2000/01 harvest there was some difficulty in commercializing the product and part of the production had to be discarded. The average water requirement of the acerola crop in the region was 1,212 cubic meters per hectare per month, harvesting turning out to be unviable year-round even with irrigation.

Increasing regulatory pressures are being applied to automotive manufacturers requiring them to reduce the negative impacts that their vehicles have on the environment. In response to these regulations, and evolving consumer preferences, manufacturers are heavily invested in identifying technologies to increase fuel economy and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Alternative propulsion technologies, such as fuel cells, are of tremendous interest to provide these benefits. However, factors including refueling infrastructure requirements, technology costs, and consumer willingness-to-consider all significantly impact the commercial viability of hydrogen fuel cell vehicles (HFCVs). I develop a system dynamics model to explore the temporal importance of critical factors required to build a market for HFCVs that is sustainable in the long-term. This methodology allows for the following: 1) Infrastructure: Identification of optimal hydrogen infrastructure growth necessary in order to support HFCV adoption and minimize required fueling stations. Additionally, the conditions in which external construction and operational support may give way to organic growth can be determined. 2) HFCV Ownership Costs: A time-dependent characterization of vehicle price and ownership subsidies can be ascertained to facilitate adoption. 3) Familiarity Accumulation: Assessment of the marketing investment necessary to yield desired HFCV adoption while minimizing costs. 4) Regulatory Requirements: Projection of compliance with Zero Emission Vehicle (ZEV) Action Plan requirements, highlighting potential impacts and possible mitigation measures.

Full textAbstract:
This research investigates the strategic governance choices made in commercializing new technologies arising from university research. Departing from the traditional licensing vs. start-up approach, it is proposed that there are three primary methods of commercializing these technologies: 1) Build ? creating a new business based on the technology, 2) Rent ? ongoing development and marketing of the technology to established firms that use the technology in their businesses and 3) Sell ? disposition of the technology to an established firm.
Using economic theories of the firm, particularly transaction cost economics, it is hypothesized that:
- the build option is positively associated with firms deriving revenue primarily from product market activity (H1a) and expending resources on both technology development activities and production activities (H2a);
- the rent and sell options are positively associated with firms deriving revenue primarily from technology market activity (H1b) and expending resources on technology development activities but not on production activities (H2b).
- the greater the patent or other legal protection (H3), the risk of substitutes (H5) or the dynamism associated with the technology (H8), the greater the likelihood that the technology will be commercialized using the rent option;
- the greater the tacitness and complexity (H4) or the greater the volatility associated with the technology, the greater the likelihood that the technology will be commercialized using the build or sell options; and
- the greater the importance of specialized complementary assets, the greater the likelihood that the technology will be commercialized using the sell option (H6).
Hypotheses H1a/b, H2a/b and H3 are supported and Hypothesis H7 received more limited support. Evidence for Hypothesis H5 is in the predicted direction but failed to achieve statistical significance. Hypotheses H4, H5, H6 and H8 are not supported.

This work aims to analyze the quality of management practices used by rennet cheese producers of Pernambuco, addressing the legal aspects of its production and marketing and the perspective that addresses the elements related to the needs and desires of the consumer of this product. The cheese curds can be considered as one of the most popular foods in the Northeast, and represents a major challenge both in meaning as a social and cultural representation, as the economic role it plays. The cheese curd is between products derived from milk, which has more simplified process and manufacturing equipment demand and low complexity technology. In this sense, the scenario that presents itself is great diversity in the form and design of the product method and consequently varying levels of quality in the aspects of health, taste, texture and presentation. The justification of this work is grounded both in the realization of the importance of cheese curds for the region, as the understanding of the need to modernize production in order to meet increasingly demanding markets and consumers with higher levels of information and awareness about food quality . The theoretical framework consisted of literature on quality as a concept and management, using works of the main authors of the subject as Deming, Juran, Crosby and Feigenbaum; literature on consumer behavior, especially on the purchase decision process; manuals and guidelines on the rennet cheese production process, and legislation dealing with pesquisa.que theme is both animal products, the specific legislation on the production of cheese curds, especially the State Law No. 13,376 of 20 December 2007. in order to meet the proposed objective, data were collected from interviews with producers of untamed region of Pernambuco, as well as interviews with traders and consumers of the product, the latter in the Metropolitan region of Recife. The sample used consisted of six companies taken as case studies, a total of nine production units that make up the Association for cheese rennet Certification of Agreste of Pernambuco. From the findings it was established the consistency of quality management practices in both the steps leading up to the production, from the suppliers of raw material, as in the steps of transformation of raw materials into the final product, as within the agricultural industry structure. Such consistency was not observed in the quality of management practices from the distribution of the product until its delivery to the consumer. the importance of logistics intermediaries both in distribution and in product quality maintenance as it is transferred to the retail outlets was found, in addition to identifying the opportunity to strengthen the relationship between producer and point of sale to strengthen a link can increase the quality assurance until the product reaches the consumer. consumer perspective in which the cheese curds and seen as a healthy product and not expensive, and the difficulty that this consumer has to differentiate artisan cheese curds non artisanal cheese curds.
Este trabalho tem como objetivo analisar as práticas de gestão da qualidade utilizadas por produtores de queijo coalho de Pernambuco, abordando os aspectos legais para sua produção e comercialização e a perspectiva que trata dos elementos relacionados às necessidades e desejos do consumidor desse produto. O queijo coalho pode ser considerado como um dos mais populares alimentos na região nordeste, e tem importância destacada tanto no que significa enquanto representação social e cultural, quanto no papel econômico que desempenha. O queijo coalho é, entre os produtos derivados de leite, dos que apresenta processo de produção mais simplificado e com demanda de equipamentos e tecnologia de baixa complexidade. Nesse sentido, o cenário que se apresenta é de grande diversificação na forma e método de elaboração desse produto e consequentemente variados níveis de qualidade nos aspectos de sanidade, sabor, consistência e apresentação. A justificativa deste trabalho está embasada tanto na constatação da importância do queijo coalho para a região, quanto no entendimento da necessidade de se modernizar sua produção no sentido de atender mercados cada vez mais exigentes e consumidores com maiores níveis de informação e consciência sobre qualidade dos alimentos. O referencial teórico utilizado foi composto por literatura sobre qualidade como conceito e gestão, com utilização de obras dos principais autores do assunto como Deming, Juran, Crosby e Feigenbaum; literatura sobre o comportamento do consumidor, em especial sobre o processo de decisão de compra; manuais e orientações sobre o processo de produção de queijo coalho, e a legislação que trata do tema da pesquisa.que trata tanto dos produtos de origem animal, quanto a legislação específica sobre a produção do queijo coalho, com destaque para a Lei estadual Nº 13.376, de 20 de dezembro de 2007. No intuito de cumprir o objetivo proposto, foram levantados dados a partir de entrevistas com produtores da região agreste de Pernambuco, além de entrevistas com comerciantes e consumidores do produto, estes últimos na Região Metropolitana do Recife. A amostra considerada consistiu de seis empresas tomadas como estudos de casos, de um total de nove unidades produtoras que compõem a Associação para Certificação do Queijo Coalho do Agreste de Pernambuco. A partir das conclusões foi possível constatar a consistência das práticas de gestão da qualidade tanto nas etapas que antecedem a produção, junto aos fornecedores da matéria prima, quanto nas etapas de transformação dessa matéria prima em produto final, já dentro da estrutura da agroindústria. Tal consistência não foi observada nas práticas de gestão da qualidade a partir da distribuição do produto até sua disponibilização para o consumidor. Constatou-se a importância dos intermediários logísticos tanto na distribuição quanto na manutenção da qualidade do produto enquanto é trasladado até os pontos de venda de varejo, além de identificar a oportunidade de fortalecer a relação entre produtor e ponto de venda no sentido de fortalecer um elo capaz aumentar a garantia de qualidade até que o produto chegue ao consumidor. Perspectiva do consumidor em que o queijo coalho e visto como um produto saudável e que não custa caro, bem como a dificuldade que este consumidor tem em diferenciar o queijo coalho artesanal do queijo coalho não artesanal.

Full textAbstract:
Along with an increased environmental awareness, companies are encouraged to go through big, internal transformations and look outside of their core businesses. For them to remain competitive, they need to show an urge for external innovation and collaboration with startups. Front end innovation (FEI) plays a crucial role in the success of ideas, yet the process for it is scattered and unorganised. The purpose of this thesis is to provide structure to external FEI and ensure success to further stages such as commercialization. The thesis was conducted at a large, sustainable materials company, by performing a literature study and qualitative interviews. The results were divided in two parts: (1). Identification of tools and success factors within FEI and (2). Construction of a relevant business model at this phase based on previous findings. The discussion of the results has been derived by performing deep analysis of the data and benchmarking it to previous findings. The thesis resulted in concrete suggestions and improvements of FEI management processes. A business model framework applicable for FEI processes is suggested based on recommendations and findings. Concluding, I argue that the result can be considered as a bridge between large scale companies and external startups, as well as between FEI and commercialization, however, it needs to be validated on other environments than the subject company.Företag utför stora, interna omvandlingar och tittar utanför sina kärnverksamheter på grund av en ökad miljömedvetenhet. För att de ska förbli konkurrenskraftiga måste de utöka sina processer för extern innovation och samarbete med startups. Front end innovation (FEI) spelar en avgörande roll för framgångsrik innovation, men denna process är utspridd och osystematisk. Syftet med projektet är att införa struktur av externa innovationsprocesser och säkerställa framgång för framtida steg såsom kommersialisering. Projektet genomfördes vid ett stort företag som fokuserar på hållbara material, genom att utföra en litteraturstrudie och kvalitativa intervjuer. Resultatet delas upp i två delar: (1). Identifiering av verktyg och framgångsfaktorer inom FEI och (2). Konstruktion av en relevant affärsmodell i denna fas baserad på tidigare litteratur. Diskussionen av resultatet består av en djup analys av samlade data och jämförelse av detta med tidigare resultat. Projektet resulterade i konkreta förslag och förbättringar av innovations processer. En affärsmodells ram föreslås som är tillämpad för FEI baserad på rekommendationer och litteratur. Avslutningsvis hävdar jag att resultatet kan betraktas som en bro mellan storskaliga företag och externa startups, liksom mellan FEI och kommersialisering men den måste valideras genom testing i andra miljöer och företag.

Full textAbstract:
This paper examines the extent to which the economic gains derived from gum and resin commercialization impact rural livelihood improvement under different resource management regimes in the drylands of Ethiopia and Sudan. Primary data were collected through semi-structured interviews with 240 randomly selected small-scale producers in four regions with gradients of resource management regimes. The survey was supplemented by secondary data, group discussions and key informant interviews. In the four regions, gum and resin income contributes to 14%–23% of the small-scale producers’ household income. Absolute income was positively correlated with resource management regime and commercialization level. It was higher from cultivated resources on private lands, followed by regulated access to wild resources. In open-access resources, the producers’ income was the lowest, although accessed by the poor and women. However, dependence on gum and resin was higher in open-access resource areas. Households’ socioeconomic characteristics, resource access, production and marketing variables determining income from gum and resin were identified and their variation across the cases is discussed. Overall, gum and resin commercialization in the study areas play a potential poverty alleviation role as a source of regular income, a safety net, and a means of helping producers move out of poverty.

Full textAbstract:
Transferring nanotechnology into marketable products and services is still considered a major challenge. In Europe, this issue has been identified as a weakness, not only for nanotechnology, but also for the other five Key Enabling Technologies (KETs), strategic for the economic growth of the region. In this regard, the current European Funding Programme Horizon 2020 is making great efforts with their action lines in order to prioritize the industrial implementation of KETs, and in this manner, address major economic and societal needs. This initiative is also fostering the cross-fertilization of KETs, since it has been determined that the sum of individual technologies increases the potential for innovation, optimizes technological development, and allows the creation of new markets. This thesis has been developed on the basis of this scenario. The aim is to analyse innovation and technology transfer challenges for the successful commercialization of nanotechnologies by emphasizing the process of cross-fertilization of KETs. The research is focused on healthcare due to the great impact that nano-scale is having on this field. For this reason, the present work has considered two approaches: from a technological perspective and from a management perspective. The analysis is comprised of a state-of-the-art and theoretical framework review, followed by a multiple case-study approach where several nano-enabled sensor-based devices are analysed at diverse levels of technological maturity. In addition, an empirical study of European nano-related innovation projects was undertaken in order to determine which projects’ characteristics are influencing the creation of technological diversity; a critical element for the long-term success of an emergent technology. Finally, project leaders were interviewed in order to gain insights about the managerial strategies that are boosting the process of cross-fertilization of KETs.
Findings have shown that a multi-disciplinary, collaborative and integrated community of innovators is necessary for the effective transference and commercialization of multi-KET nanotechnologies. Additionally, the degree of multi-disciplinary projects was identified as significantly contributing to the creation of technological diversity. Furthermore, higher levels of cross-fertilization were found in market and customer-oriented projects, with actors strongly
motivated to search for ideas from broad informal networks, and where technological knowledge is moderately heterogeneous. Lastly, it has been found that the cross-fertilization of KETs is boosted by actors with a high involvement of nanotechnologies in their industries. With these outcomes, this thesis has sought to contribute to the analysis of the successful transference and commercialization of multi-KET nanotechnologies in the field of healthcare by understanding the processes and ecosystems of innovation.
The outcomes of this thesis have sought to contribute to the analysis of the successful transference and commercialization of multi-KET in the field of nanotechnologies applied to healthcare by understanding the processes and ecosystems of innovation. Accordingly, it is aimed to contribute to the reduction of the gap between research and the marketplace and to expand the knowledge of current interest regarding innovation ecosystems of emergent technologies, regional systems of innovation and strategic innovation management.La transferència de productes i serveis basats en la nanotecnologia representa un gran repte. A Europa, aquest fet ha estat identificat com a punt dèbil, no només per a les nanotecnologies si no també per a les altres cinc tecnologies facilitadores transversales (KETs per les seves sigles en anglès), considerades estratègiques pel creixement econòmic de la regió. En aquest sentit, l’actual programa marc Europeu Horitzó 2020 està redirigint les seves línies d’acció per a prioritzar la implementació de les KETs i, d’aquesta manera, poder fer front a les necessitats econòmiques i socials més imperatives d’Europa. Aquesta iniciativa també pretén fomentar la fertilització creuada de les KETs, ja que s’ha establert que la suma de tecnologies individuals incrementa el potencial d’innovació, optimitza el desenvolupament de tecnologies i permet la creació de nous mercats. Sobre aquesta base es desenvolupa aquest treball d’investigació, el qual té la finalitat d’analitzar els reptes relacionats amb la innovació i la transferència tecnològica per a assolir amb èxit la comercialització de les nanotecnologies, posant de relleu el procés de fertilització creuada de les KETs en el camp de la salut. Amb aquesta finalitat, s’han considerat dues aproximacions: d’una banda una perspectiva tecnològica i, de l’altra, una perspectiva de gestió de la innovació. Els resultats obtinguts fan aportacions per l’anàlisi i identificació dels reptes que cal afrontar per a una favorable transferència i comercialització de les nanotecnologies multi-KET en el camp de la salut mitjançant la comprensió dels processos i ecosistemes d’innovació i, d’aquesta manera, contribuir a la reducció de la separació entre el laboratori i el mercat. Finalment també es pretén ampliar el coneixement sobre temàtiques d’interès actual respecte els ecosistemes d’innovació de les tecnologies emergents, els sistemes regionals d’innovació i la gestió estratègica de la innovació tecnològica.

Full textAbstract:
Strategies for commercialization of a new product innovation are critical for gaining a sustainable level of customer acceptance and financial performance. The purpose of this single case study was to explore the commercialization strategies used by 5 technology development marketing leaders from a healthcare company in Washington state. The conceptual framework for this study was commercialization of innovation theory (CoI). The data were collected through semistructured interviews and company documentation, and analyzed using Yin's 5-step data analysis process for case studies to identify and code themes. Analysis of data generated 3 major themes: strategies implemented during the prelaunch phase, strategies implemented during the pilot customer phase, and strategies implemented in the broader market launch phase of the CoI process. The results of this study revealed the set of commercialization decisions made by technology development marketing leaders in the case, the phase in which the CoI process-specific strategies were implemented, and some of the pitfalls of commercializing an innovation, especially a radical innovation. Results indicated the challenges with being a first-mover and having unclear positioning, branding, and messaging strategies. It is essential for technology development marketing leaders to gain a deeper understanding of the strategies that might influence commercial success and failure. Findings may contribute to social change by maximizing commercial success and the diffusion of new product innovations in healthcare, which might lead to better patient outcomes and enhanced ways of practicing medicine.

Full textAbstract:
Este trabalho propõe um modelo conceitual de Parque Tecnológico adaptado aos requisitos da sociedade do conhecimento, contextualizado para regiões urbanas, de média a densamente povoadas, ou metropolitanas. O modelo é particularizado para a cidade de São Paulo, focalizando o entorno da Cidade Universitária - campus da Universidade de São Paulo, na capital, região onde se encontra uma grande densidade de instituições de pesquisa e organizações de apoio ao desenvolvimento científico e à inovação tecnológica, tais como: o Instituto de Pesquisas Energéticas e Nucleares (IPEN), o Instituto de Pesquisas Tecnológicas (IPT), o Instituto Butantã e o Centro Incubador de Empresas Tecnológicas (CIETEC). O modelo considera a alteração da vocação econômica da cidade de São Paulo, a mudança física de empresas de grande porte de setores tradicionais, a alta taxa de desemprego e o mercado extremamente competitivo, fatos esses que são desafios para a implementação de políticas que possibilitem a substituição de atividades declinantes por atividades nascentes, mais competitivas e que auxiliem na atração de investimentos para a cidade. Para apoiar o desenvolvimento do modelo, é construido um panorama de experiências nacionais e estrangeiras em parques tecnológicos, detalhando aspectos estratégicos, estruturais, gerenciais e operacionais, tendo sido analisadas sete experiências nacionais e três experiências internacionais, por meio da aplicação de um instrumento de pesquisa e entrevistas. O modelo conceitual é elaborado tomando por base três pilares que se apresentam importantes para o sucesso das experiências analisadas durante a pesquisa de campo, a saber: a dinâmica das relações entre os atores envolvidos, a inserção e relação com o meio urbano e as características das empresas e respectivos estágios de desenvolvimento. O modelo proposto reúne quatro grupos de atividades no seu contexto: as atividades de um centro incubador de empresas tecnológicas; as atividades das empresas graduadas ou maduras e micro e pequenas e médias empresas, externas ao sistema, baseadas no conhecimento, bem como instalações de pesquisa e desenvolvimento de grandes corporações em parceria com instituições de pesquisa instaladas na região, e as atividades do Parque Tecnológico propriamente dito, entidade que suporta as ações previstas no modelo. O presente modelo propõe um passo além da idéia de estruturação de um parque urbano, prevendo um núcleo gestor e coordenador, composto por algumas de suas estruturas organizacionais, e a disseminação desse parque na cidade, permitindo irradiar ações coordenadas no meio urbano.A conceptual model of Technology Park is established, adapted to the knowledge society requirements. The focus is on medium and highly dense population areas and global megacities, mainly in developing countries. The model is particularized to the São Paulo city and the neighbourhood of the University of Sao Paulo campus. This region has a high density of research institutions and other organizations that support scientific, technology and innovation activities; among these organizations are: the Institute for Nuclear and Energy Research (IPEN), the Institute for Technology Research (IPT), the Butanta Institute and the Incubator Center for Technology Enterprises (CIETEC). The model considers the changes in the economic vocation of the Sao Paulo city, the removal of traditional industry sectors organizations from the region, the unemployment rates and the highly competitive global market. These challenges ask for policies that can attract new economic activities, more competitive in the global market, and new investors. To support the research activities it is applied a questionnaire and interviews to seven national and three international technology parks experiences. The conceptual model is based on three main aspects which are considered by these experiences very important to the success of the technology parks, as follows: the dynamics of the players relation, the urban intervention of the project and the companies characteristics and development stages. The proposed model concerns to four groups of activities: the technology incubator center activities; the graduate or mature companies from the incubator center or other micro, small or medium knowledge based companies, from outside the system; the cooperative research activities among private organizations and research institutions; the Technology Park services and managing activities. This model innovates concerning the conception of a managing and coordinator core, located inside the University campus, and by the dissemination and irradiation of the Technology Park activities and benefits to the city, forming innovative clusters and establishing adense knowledge network.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis examines product innovation processes in small established enterprises. The research questions are: (1) what motivates small established enterprises to innovate, (2) how do small established enterprises perform product innovation, and (3) how do small established enterprises manage resource scarcity in their product innovation processes? To answer the research questions, a multiple case study approach was chosen with three small established enterprises as cases and different product innovation processes as embedded units of study. The data collection method used was observation during a period of five months, complemented by interviews and secondary data. Product innovation in small established enterprises seems to be motivated by solving existing customers’ problems and the need for a sustained steady cash flow. A steady cash flow is also found to be a prerequisite during the product innovation processes. Product innovation seems to occur when there is a risk of decreased cash flow and/or when existing customers can be satisfied with new products that increase their loyalty so as to secure future sales, cash flow, and the enterprise’s survival in the long run. Promising innovation ideas alone do not result in product innovation. An innovation idea must also have supportive existing customers for product innovation to occur. Product innovation processes in the studied small established enterprises are found highly context dependent, intertwined in operational processes and made possible by a small organic organization and closeness to existing customers. The product innovation processes are further found to follow a flexible and informal overall scheme optimized for decreasing market and technology uncertainty and risk, dealing with resource scarcity, and facilitating fast and easy commercialization to avoid or moderate dips in cash flow. The design processes within the innovation processes can be linearly structured or cyclical and experimental, depending on the experienced novelty. To manage resource scarcity during the product innovation processes, the studied small enterprises used many different bootstrapping methods in combination. These methods can be divided into three categories according to their overall functions: for using existing resources more efficiently, for increasing resources and to secure a fast payback on resources invested in NPD. The studied small enterprises were due to their resource scarcity further found to favor an innovation strategy, only involving new products done with known technology and targeting existing markets. This way to innovate, which creates new products in a resource-efficient way that are accepted by the enterprises’ existing markets, seems to prevent unsuccessful product innovation, while at the same time excluding technologically radical innovation and innovation targeting new markets.QC 20140102

Brantnell, Anders. "Exploitation of University-Based Healthcare Innovations : The Behaviors of Three Key Actors and Influencing Factors." Doctoral thesis, Uppsala universitet, Institutionen för kvinnors och barns hälsa, 2017. http://urn.kb.se/resolve?urn=urn:nbn:se:uu:diva-317934.
Full textAbstract:
Large resources are invested in healthcare research, but despite this there is a wide gap between research knowledge and healthcare practice. Implementation researchers have addressed this gap, focusing mostly on the role of healthcare practitioners. However, a narrow focus on implementation does not take into consideration the preceding stages and the roles of different actors during the whole innovation process, which starts from research and ends with implementation. The aim of this thesis is to examine the behaviors of three key actors during an innovation process and to explore the influence of selected contextual factors on their behavior. Study I (n=10 funders) identifies several facilitative roles for funders and suggests that implementation risks becoming no one’s responsibility as the funders identify six different actors responsible for implementation, the majority of whom embody a collective or an organization. Study II finds that the implementation knowledge of Swedish funding managers (n=18) is mostly based on experience-based knowledge. The majority of the funding managers define implementation as a process and express limited knowledge of implementation. The findings of Study III (n=4 innovation cases) show that the roles and involvement of academic inventors and ISAs (innovation-supporting actors) are more connected to intellectual property (IP) nature than to intellectual property rights (IPR) ownership. Study IV (n=4 innovation cases) identifies three different logics that influence the behavior of academic inventors: market, academic and care logics. A pattern emerges where the behavior of academic inventors is guided by a unique logic and there is no interaction between logics, despite the existence of multiple logics. The individual strategies to handle multiple logics coincide with the influence of logics. In addition, IP nature, distinguishing between high-tech and low-tech innovations, is connected to the influence of institutional logics: low-tech connected to the care logic and high-tech connected to the market logic. This thesis has three main theoretical and practical implications relevant for practitioners, policymakers and researchers. First, implementation responsibility is an important issue to study and discuss, because without clearly defined responsibilities and management of responsibilities, responsibility might become no one’s responsibility. Second, the finding that experience-based implementation knowledge contributes heavily to policymakers’ knowledge encourages further studies and discussions regarding this relatively neglected issue. Third, the importance of IP nature in shaping innovation processes should be considered and further examined, not only as a factor influencing inventors and ISAs’ roles and involvement, but also as influencing the prevalence of different institutional logics. Further, the relevance of a distinction between low-tech and high-tech IP should be reflected on.
