Impact on YouImpact on You
Point of View:Point of View: The creation of value from new research findings to yield products and services in the hands of customers is a complex subject. A firm must do well many diverse activities in order to create a profitable new business from new knowledge.
Today’s Topic:Today’s Topic: We explore the highlights of how value is created by linking research knowledge at the “front end” of the value creation process all the way to the products and services that emanate from the “back end” of the process.
Value to You: Value to You: One way or another, this will define the work environment of most new physics Ph.Ds in the 21st century: Learn for success.

Why Do Firms Perform R&D?Why Do Firms Perform R&D?
To grow – Through new products and services to new markets
To survive – The onslaught of competitive product performance improvements and pricing cuts in currently served markets
Research and development are very different
Research: New concepts for growth
Development: Technology injection into base product lines for survival

The Total Value ModelThe Total Value Model
Economic Value = the value resulting from the firms ongoing businesses. Value by discounted cash flow Include development projects and plans designed to support existing businesses and
markets Example: Xerox plans and designs for the next generation of copiers
Strategic Value = the value resulting from strategies, plans and projects to enter new markets or offer fundamentally new product lines Value by options theory (e.g., Black-Scholes model) Include strategies, plans and R&D projects designed to enter new markets. Example: Xerox plans and designs for entering the thermal-ink-jet personal printer
market and the office networked systems market in the mid 1980s
Total Value = Economic Value + Strategic Value
Total Value should approximately equal Market Value

How Firms Capture Value from R&DHow Firms Capture Value from R&D
Use it as an input to create a profitable product or service via a value chain describing how the evolution of the product or service all the way from concept to customer
Sell or license resulting intellectual property
Value capture is described by a business model which
Describes how a firm will make money
Links technical inputs to economic outputs
Converts intellectual property into economic value
10
The Creation of ValueThe Creation of Value
Research creates investment options for further investment to develop products or services that enable growth.
To create value, these options must be exercised all the way down a complete value chain.
“A chain is only as strong as its weakest link”.

Managing Product Development Managing Product Development
In large manufacturing firms products are developed via a structured phase gate process: Define product platform and demonstrate technology Define product and deliver technology Design product Demonstrate product
New technology is delivered via a structured technology development sub-process in the first two product development phases.
New knowledge from research meets product development in the initial steps of technology development process.

Managing Technology Development Managing Technology Development
Technology also is developed via a structured phase gate process Scan for opportunities Explore potential technologies Filter and demonstrate technology Confirm technology platform Demonstrate technology capability Establish technology readiness for a specific product Integrate into product program
The economic value of the technology being developed is established by defining technology investment options that grow in value as phase gates are passed

As a project moves down the pipeline, the cost of moving it though the next phase gate increases—usually a lot. Thus, there are many more projects in the earlier phases where the uncertainties are the largest.

It’s The Business Model, StupidIt’s The Business Model, Stupid
Product development is not enough. It must be embedded into a successful business model to create profits.
The business model includes how the product is to be delivered to the customer. E.g., Xerox was successful in the 1960s because it leased rather sold Xerox copiers to customers.
Knowledge is converted into potential economic value via intellectual property, but most intellectual property is worthless because it is not embedded in a viable business model to convert it into realized economic value.

The Environment is Changing The Environment is Changing
Creation of a global economy: International outsourcing and pricing Globally available, mobile technical manpower Plentiful technical knowledge Inexpensive, instantaneous global communications Accessible venture capital
End of the cold war – rise of the war on terror
From military to economic competition: Peace through prosperity
16
The Evolving Context of R&DThe Evolving Context of R&D
Industry structures change from vertical to horizontal (PCs, consumer electronics, autos, ....)
intellectual property (e.g., patents) and sources thereof explode (universities, national labs, small and large firms, consultants,....)
Manufactured products become complex systems (airplanes, autos, consumer electronics,…) built from standardized components
Manufacturing industries consolidate around dominant, often modular, designs and a few large suppliers (e.g. PC’s – Dell, HP, IBM which source components from common suppliers, often in the far east)

Is Changing The Innovation ParadigmIs Changing The Innovation Paradigm
From “closed” (vertically integrated) value chains in which all elements are in the same firm Traditional model: GE, IBM(old), Bell Labs, Xerox, Dupont in the
1960s-1980s Assumes scarce knowledge, limited mobility of technical talent
To “open” (horizontal supplier structure) value chains in which different firms deliver different elements in the value chain New model: Intel, IBM(new) Assumes plentiful knowledge, mobile technical talent, ready
availability of venture capital

In a closed innovation paradigm projects flow down the pipeline from within the firm. Technology development is vertically integrated with product development.
In an open innovation paradigm, knowledge, technology, components or subsystems can enter the pipeline from outside the firm. Similarly, these entities can exit the pipeline to be further developed by other firms for their products.
19
Implications for Industrial ResearchImplications for Industrial Research
New product development increasingly integrates knowledge and intellectual property from different firms.
R&D in industry concentrates on conceiving and designing new products and/or new value chains. The “Bell Labs” era of basic research in industry has morphed into the “Intel” era of university-industry collaborations
Technology is not “transferred”; it is incorporated a priori into new product definition and design by cross functional teams using a staged phase gate development process.
Bottom Line: Exercisable options for new products not physical science knowledge are the outputs of industrial research at the dawn of the 21st century
20
Impact on Physical ScientistsImpact on Physical Scientists
Almost all physical science jobs in industry are in development, not research.
The primary role of physical scientists in industrial research is to serve as subject matter experts solving problems as members of cross-functional definition or design teams. The employers of these scientists can be firms, universities, or consulting houses.
In the value creation process, the generation of individual items of intellectual property (e.g., patents) is a less important skill than the ability to incorporate such items into complete value chains.

SynopsisSynopsis
Value is created from research findings via a multi-stage value chain each step in which must be executed well to achieve business success. Successful execution of this process is called “innovation”.
Value is realized though a successful business model; it can be calculated quantitatively: Economic value via discounted cash flow Strategic value via options theory
Changes in the innovation environment during the past fifteen years.stimulated a transformation of the dominant innovation paradigm from “closed” to “open”.
As part of this transformation, the era of basic physical science research in industry is over. Modern industrial research creates new investment options, not new knowledge.
Consequently, physical scientists working in manufacturing industries can expect to be subject matter experts working on cross functional teams to design new products or processes. University or government partners may be members of that team.
