INNOVATION: Technology Assessment, Forecasting, Strategy and Regional Policy

We construct new operational definitions of incremental innovation, standard innovation, and radical innovation, using our “technometric benchmarking” model. Based on this definition, optimal incremental innovation is formulated as a linear programming problem. The model is illustrated by an actual case: reconfiguration of a gamma camera. We show how our model can contribute to improved allocation […]

Technometric Benchmarking: Towards an Interactive Operational Model for Management of Technology and Innovation in Science-Based Startups, Selected Re

Overall objective of our project: “…to equip managers of technology in science-based companies [in Israel and in Germany] with tools that can help their firms become more innovative and competitive”. (from our Research Proposal). In this project, we are developing an integrated “toolkit” of quantitative benchmarking models, covering each aspect of the innovation process from […]
