Buluş, Inovasyon ve Yayma

Özet

Yeni bir teknolojinin gelistirilme ve tanitilma sureci, bulus, inovasyon ve yayma olmak uzere uc asamadan olusmaktadir. Bilimsel ya da teknolojik yeni bir urun ya da surecin ilk gelistirilme asamasini bulus asamasi olusturmaktadir. Bu yeni urun ya da surecin ticarilesebilmesi durumunda ise, ikinci asamaya yani inovasyon asamasina girilmektedir. Inovasyon yasam dongusunun ucuncu asamasini ise yayma asamasi olusturmaktadir. Bu asama, inovasyonun yaygin bir sekilde kullanilabilmesi icin, degisik iletisim mekanizmalari kullanilarak, bireyler, gruplar, yerel ya da daha genis capli toplumlara yayildigi asamadir. Bulus, inovasyon ve yayma surecine olabilecek bireysel ya da toplumsal tepkiler kendini kullanima alma, uyum saglama ve direnc gosterme biciminde gosterebilmektedir. Her ne kadar yenilikci olursa olsun, pazar firsati yakalayamayan bir urun ya da surecin herhangi bir ticari degeri soz konusu degildir. Bu konusma, inovasyon ve ticarilestirme etkinliklerinin gunumuzde karsilastigi zorluklar ve olanaklari kunu alirken, arastirma-gelistirme asamasindan ticarilestirme asamasina kadar olan surec icin cesitli guncel ornekler sunmaktadir.
