The Big Group Smack Down!
Define “High-Tech” and why are hi tech markets particularly dynamic?
What do you consider the most important barriers to adoption of the Wearable Computer?
Give an example of what you would consider a radical innovation (tech or no tech) and develop a short definition.
Contingent on the type of innovation, the role of marketing differs. How?
What would you call these and what do they have in common?
“Unit-one costs of HT products are often high, payback cycles of a new HT products shorter and shorter.” Why is this so? As a marketing consultant, what do you recommend a
company do that has a breakthrough product on its hand ready to launch?

Contingency Theory
Type of marketing strategy is contingent upon the nature of the innovation.

What is a disruptive technology?
Disruptive technologies typically have worse performance, at least in the near term.
But: They have features that a few fringe and generally new customers value and which represent a key source of competitive value in the future.
Products based on them are typically cheaper, simpler, smaller and frequently more convenient to use - often representing a new product architecture, design, and even market (category).
They often bring a new and different value proposition.

Characteristics Common to High-Tech Markets:
Supply Side “Unit-one” costs: when the cost of
producing the first unit is very high relative to the costs of reproduction Ex: development vs. reproduction of software
Demand-side increasing returns: When the value of the product increases as more people adopt it Also called network externalities and
bandwagon effects Ex: telephone, fax, MS Word Implications: may give away products for free

Characteristics Common to High-Tech Markets:
Supply Side Tradeability problems arise because it is
difficult to value the know-how which forms the basis of the underlying technology Ex: How much to charge for licensing the rights to a
waste-eating microbe? Knowledge spillover: Another type of
externality that arises from the fact that technological developments in one domain spur new developments and innovations in other areas. Ex: Human Genome Project

Market Uncertainty: FUD factor Customer needs Anxiety over the lack of standards and
dominant design (Laserdisc, DVD, DivX) Pace of adoption Inability to forecast market size

Technology Uncertainty: Will it function as promised? Timetable for new product development? Who will fix customer problems? What are unanticipated/unintended
consequences? (When) Will our technology be obsolete?
![Page 15: Marketing Strategy in High-Tech Markets II](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062501/5681688e550346895ddf142e/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Competitive Uncertainty:
Who will be future competitors? What will be “the rules of the game” (i.e.,
competitive strategies and tactics)? What will “product form” competition be
like? competition between product classes vs.
between different brands of the same product Implication: Creative destruction?

Effects of Uncertainty? Adoption rate! There are five variables that have been cited as
responsible for speed of technology adoption: Relative Advantage: the degree to which an innovation
is perceived as better than the idea it supersedes Compatibility: the degree to which an innovation is
perceived as consistent with existing values, technologies, past experiences, and needs of potential users
Complexity: the degree to which an innovation is perceived as relatively difficult to use and understand
Trialability: the degree to which an innovation may be experimented with on a limited basis
Observability: the degree to which the results of an innovation are visible to others (Wow-factor).
Rogers, “Diffusion of Innovation.”

Diffusion Rates The printing press (~1440):
400 years (1833, NY Sun). The automobile (1885):
75 years (market saturation in US around 1960) The telephone (1876):
85 years (full saturation in the 1960s) The fax machine (1843):
140 years (late 1980s) The Internet (1968)
35 years

Value: Perceived Need-Perceived Price
Variables essential to the successful uptake of technology: Providing an infrastructure Providing a function Providing the right price point Providing a compelling need to buy
(make it a necessity).

Continuous shortening of product life cycles, which if true leads to a serious dilemma:
=> High first part costs in innovation phase is associated with shorter pay-back cycles!

PLC means strategically:1) Enter as many market segments as
possible at the same time to shorten pay-back time.
2) Develop a broad geographical strategy as low entry barriers allow competitors to exploit uncovered territory.
