Management of Digital Innovation

Industry level dynamics

Use of technology S-curve

  • Understand the technology's performance take-off 
    • Where are you on the s-curve?
    • What is the rate of learning?
  • Recognize the limits of specific technology
    • Is the learning flattening?
    • Do other technologies improve faster?
  • Guide resource allocation into existing and new technologies
    • Do not wait until end of s-curve with investing
    • Exploration is long term, uncertain, interdependent
  • Transition to a new technology: Investment decisions (Based on performance take off, limits)
 
  • different industries -> different generations of technologies
 
  • LCD: Black & White -> Better in size & weigts
  • CRT outperformed LCD (colours,...)
