Technology Development and Assessment to Market Using TRIZ

Abstract

The competitive organizations are struggling to develop their technology to stay ahead of others. Most of the organizations are unable to bring their technology to market due to the constraints and implications to the organizations' performance. This problem halts the technology's entrance into the market and most of the developed technology will be kept in the organization's technology vault, unused, eventually becoming obsolete. The critical contradiction is the development of new technologies to improve its competitive level, yet feasibility hinders the products to be introduced to the market. The outcome from solving this contradiction is to provide more systematic, effective and faster ways for technology-to-market. This paper is proposing a technology development and assessment framework for organizations to develop their technology strategically to market using a TRIZ methodology. A case study of a new technology called ‘liquid bumper' will be presented to show the application of the proposed framework.

“…'Gravity model' has developed on the basis of 'Newton's Gravitational law' for determining the service limit of urban centers as well as urban region relations (Rahim, 2011) [20] .…”

“…Consequently, population increases due to its human welfare opportunities as well as emigration from rural to urban which gradually lead to increase the number of towns and cities. The towns, cities, satellite cities or 'Sputnik' or 'new cities' were formed in distances of 35 km to 70 km far from metropolises (capitals) which had a key role in development of city networks (Rahim, 2011) [20] . The changing mobility triggered off a powerful centrifugal wave of migration from the city to the suburbs resulting in decentralization.…”

“…However, it is the most favorable unit for economic analysis and for interaction and discussion of social, political, and economic processes (Tomaney et al 2000) [23] . Therefore 'metropolis' is encompassed by various small towns and cities which reflected on different levels of acceptance which are illuminated by shops, industries and organizations (Johnson, 1984, Rahim, 2011 [11,20] . In metropolitan cities each function has benefited from the conditions which brought about the other functions and has found reasons for developing there itself where it is quoted that larger the city, the greater is the number and diversity of opportunity (Verma, 2006) [27] .…”
