Dr. Leonie Hallo

Location: Adelaide  

Research topic
Are organizations aware - directly or indirectly - of the Endgame concept as a tool for successful commercialisation of new technologies?

This research will investigate the Endgame concept presented by Chakravorti (The Slow Pace of Fast Change, 2003) as a potentially new tool, useful for mapping out the potential barriers, making strategic choices and assessing the market potential of any innovation's commercialisation.

The investigation will be an exploratory study to test and examine the awareness, attitude and level of acceptance of the Endgame concept by managers in commercialisation agencies, and potentially observe the time of adaptation of the concept in order to overcome customer scepticism of innovations
