Market Evolution over the Life Cycle

• Drivers of diffusion– When does the S curve imply a diffusion curve?

• Managing the market– Market segmentation– Crossing the chasm– New markets, new needs: The Innovator’s Dilemma

What drove the diffusion of the CD?

TimeMaking the transition from “early adopters” to “early majority” users often

requires the development of quite different competencies: e.g. service,

support capabilities, much more extensive training.

Crossing the chasm?

Characterizing the segments

• Innovators

• Early adopters

• Early majority

• Late majority

• Laggards

Who buys a technologywhen it is firstintroduced?

Time

• New technologies sell to:─ New customers─ With new needs─ Often at lower margins

Initially, S&R aligners sold to customerswith different needs:

For example: Semiconductor Photolithography

Scanning Projection

Aligners

Step & Repeat

Aligners

Speed

Yield

But then they improved sufficiently totake the whole marketFor example: Semiconductor Photolithography

Scanning Projection

Aligners

Some new technologies sell to niche marketswith less demanding requirements

Are all discontinuities disruptive inChristensen’s sense?
