Exploring the Limits of the Technology S-Curve, Part II: Architectural Technologies
By the end of this activity you will be able to:
1. Apply the S-curve theory when planning product architecture development programs
2. Distinguish differences between applying S-curve theory to components versus to product architecture, including the greater need for market innovation when developing product architecture
As for component technology, the S-curve theory applies to product architecture development. In an earlier discussion, proof of the validity of component S-curve theory was investigated for the case of magnetic rigid disk drives. We also previously discussed using the magnetic disk drive application to indicate marketing strategies if product architecture technology versus component technology is the R&D focus.
Guiding Questions to Consider Prior to the Discussion
1. What is the resulting effect of leading firms failing to spot the affects of new successor technologies?
2. Why does architectural technology change involve an intense degree of market innovation?
Read pages 278-284 of reading-II-2, "Exploring the Limits of the Technology S-Curve, Part II: Architectural Technologies".
pages 278-284 I attached it in the browser
In regards to the magnetic rigid disk drives case study, post to the Discussion Board a minimum 250-300 word response to the questions posed under "Guiding Questions".
Post your response (250-300 word minimum) to the Discussion Board.
Compose your work using a word processor and save it frequently to your computer. When you are ready to make your initial posting, please click on the "Create Thread" button and enter a relevant subject line. Then copy/paste the text, which you have grammar and spell checked, from your Word document into the message field and click Submit. Your initial posting should be no more than one typed page in length. Then, reply to the postings of class members. You may agree or disagree, but you need to support your statements with facts, experience, information and/or references. Review the SBT Discussion Rubric located in the "Start Here" section of the course for more information on grading criteria.
