Market uncertainty
• Ambiguity about the type and extent of customer needs technology can satisfy
• Once known, customer needs change dramatically• Uncertainty as to what the dominant design will be or when
it will appear• Difficult to predict extent of customer adoption• Size of market is unknown

What is different in technology environments?
Technological uncertainty
• not sure about a product’s functional performance• technology supplier may not have a proven record for

First stage’s and last stage’s critical success factors are opposite
Management style direct supervision line and staff
Organization values channels to tech knowledge; minimal systems
values channels to market; formal systems
Customer bet on what is coming; break from the pack; pay for new ways to solve new problems; target difficult to define
fast ramp up; follow the norm; pay to solve known problems; target easier to define
Funding fund as you go; measure return on customer relationship
well-funded up-front; measure return on investment
Partnerships input based output based
Competitors unknown known
