COMMERCIALIZATION: MAKING INNOVATION SUCCESSFUL
Innovations can fail, not because of technical issues, but because they fail to become commercially viable. This is due to many of the obstacles faced by innovators, including: the need to scale up; achieve operational integration; build market acceptance; and the need for well-executed business strategy and plan.
