Survey of Literature on the Commercialization of High Technology Products and the Role of Government in Fostering Such Commercialization

摘要

This report represents the results of the first phase of a study being conducted for ERDA to analyze the factors affecting the commercialization of new technologies, and to recommend actions that ERDA can take to accelerate the introduction and diffusion of new energy technologies into the marketplace. The report is essentially a literature search and was conducted for two reasons: (1) to identify generic conditions that must be met to achieve successful commercialization, and (2) to identify and review incentives to commercialization. Many of the procedures are graphically presented and the selected bibliography contains 98 citations. (ERA citation 02:052024)
