biosensor technology technology push versus Market Pull
Biotechnology Advances, 2008Co-Authors: Keith B Male, John H. T. Luong, Jeremy D GlennonAbstract:Abstract Biosensor technology is based on a specific biological recognition element in combination with a transducer for signal processing. Since its inception, biosensors have been expected to play a significant analytical role in medicine, agriculture, food safety, homeland security, environmental and industrial monitoring. However, the commercialization of biosensor technology has significantly lagged behind the research output as reflected by a plethora of publications and patenting activities. The rationale behind the slow and limited technology transfer could be attributed to cost considerations and some key technical barriers. Analytical chemistry has changed considerably, driven by automation, miniaturization, and system integration with high throughput for multiple tasks. Such requirements pose a great challenge in biosensor technology which is often designed to detect one single or a few target analytes. Successful biosensors must be versatile to support interchangeable biorecognition elements, and in addition miniaturization must be feasible to allow automation for parallel sensing with ease of operation at a competitive cost. A significant upfront investment in research and development is a prerequisite in the commercialization of biosensors. The progress in such endeavors is incremental with limited success, thus, the Market entry for a new venture is very difficult unless a niche product can be developed with a considerable Market volume.

Market Pull and technology push in manufacturing start ups in emerging industries
Journal of Manufacturing Technology Management, 2012Co-Authors: Sarah Lubik, K W Platts, Tim MinshallAbstract:Purpose – As traditional manufacturing, previously vital to the UK economy, is increasingly outsourced to lower‐cost locations, policy makers seek leadership in emerging industries by encouraging innovative start‐up firms to pursue competitive opportunities. Emerging industries can either be those where a technology exists but the corresponding downstream value chain is unclear, or a new technology may subvert the existing value chain to satisfy existing customer needs. Hence, this area shows evidence of both technology‐push and Market‐Pull forces. The purpose of this paper is to focus on Market‐Pull and technology‐push orientations in manufacturing ventures, specifically examining how and why this orientation shifts during the firm's formative years.Design/methodology/approach – A multiple case study approach of 25 UK start‐ups in emerging industries is used to examine this seldom explored area. The authors offer two models of dynamic business‐orientation in start‐ups and explain the common reasons for s...

Technology and trend management at the interface of technology push and Market Pull
International Journal of Technology Management, 2016Co-Authors: Maximilian A. Maier, M. Hofmann, Alexander BremAbstract:Technology push and Market Pull innovation strategies are playing an important role for the effective management of ideas, technologies, and trends. The coexistence of these two approaches led to many debates and the focus switched several times from putting more effort into technology push aspects to fostering Market Pull approaches in the last decades. Still, there is no in-depth exploration of the interface of technology push and Market Pull and only few conceptual models are dealing with the connection between technology push and Market Pull in particular. Therefore, this study puts an exploratory focus on the innovation management processes of a global outdoor manufacturer with a special emphasis on the interface between technology push and Market Pull. From the case findings and our literature we conceptualise a non-linear innovation model that systematically integrates Market Pull and technology push activities. The model was tested for its practical applicability by reflecting it against the case company's organisational capabilities. Further research implications are discussed as well as implications for the management of the innovation process in practice, which highlights especially the importance of an innovation competence team.

integration of Market Pull and technology push in the corporate front end and innovation management insights from the german software industry
Technovation, 2009Co-Authors: Alexander Brem, Kai-ingo VoigtAbstract:Abstract Within the framework of this paper, an extensive literature overview of technology and innovation management aspects on Market Pull and technology push will be given. The existing classification of Market Pull and technology push will be particularly shown and called into question by suggesting a conceptual framework. Additionally, the most common front end innovation models will be introduced. Finally, the authors will introduce how a technology-based service company is managing the connection of these two alternatives. A special focus will be laid on the accordant methods in order to search for current Market needs and new related technologies. The selected case study will focus on one of Germany's biggest and most successful software development and information technology service providers. Based on interviews, document analysis, and practical applications, an advanced conceptual framework will be introduced as to how Market Pull and technology push activities within the corporate technology and innovation management can be integrated. Hence, the purpose of the paper is to introduce a theory-based conceptual framework that can be used in today's corporate environment. In this context, technology managers may use the results as a conceptual mirror, especially regarding the influencing factors of innovation impulses and the use of interdisciplinary teams (with people from inside and outside the company) to accomplish successful corporate technology and innovation management.
