ABOUT THIS BLOG
Innovation and Emerging Technologies are the only way to ensure that companies remain competitive. But this is not easy, since there is a big difference between talking about innovation and putting it into practice. Innovation is a bet on the future. I am looking forward to discuss the various ways and various areas where innovation can contribute in our organizations.
Emerging technologies are defined as
"scientific innovations" that can create a new industry or transform an existing one. They include discontinuous technologies derived from radical innovations as well as more advanced technologies formed as a result of the convergence of branches of previously separate research.
Each of these technologies offers a rich range of market opportunities that provide incentive for investment risk . The problem with these new technologies, both managers of mature firms and those of start-ups is that traditional management tools are not able to solve successfully the new challenges generated.
They are used interchangeably to indicate the emergence and convergence of new technologies with demonstrated potential as disruptive technologies terms. Among them are nanotechnology, biotechnology, information and communications technology, cognitive science, robotics, and artificial intelligence.
Precisely what “the future” consists of is unknown, or at best uncertain.
Certain emerging technologies will enable the development of other
new technologies. In this sense, some technologies are enabling
technologies that allow other technologies to be more fully exploited. (Koty, 2006).
