What is Commercialization?
• Commercialization can be defined as a process of introducing a new product or service into the market. o Realizing a concept or idea into a real business opportunity.
• For example, a business that has a great idea/ product wishes to expand its business. o Before the product is commercially available in the mass market, a
process of commercialization must be gone through: market research & consultation, development, prototype, business plan, marketing & distribution plan as well as protecting its intellectual property.

Copyright © 2012-15 Vibazone Private Limited All Rights Reserved
(1) Explain your Product or Service
• A clear and concise product or service description must be written and it should be easily understood by a person that is not familiar with the new concept.
• Further, the written document should not include industry jargons and it should demonstrate the features and benefits of the new product of service.
• This is due to all these explanation will be treated as a critical discussion with consultants, customers, suppliers, IP lawyers, investors and etc.
Copyright © 2012-15 Vibazone Private Limited All Rights Reserved
(2) Protect Your Intellectual Property
• Protecting the new concept of product or service is very important during early stage to prevent others from imitating the same concept and bring it to the market earlier.
• Thus, before discussing to anyone about the new concept of the product or service, he/she must ensure that all the conversations are protected.
• For example, a confidentiality agreement or a non disclosure agreement (NDA) is very useful in disclosing and discussing the new concept of the product or service to 3rd parties to ensure that they do not disclose all the confidential information that is not publicly available.
Copyright © 2012-15 Vibazone Private Limited All Rights Reserved
(3) Understand your Market
• Market research must be done in order to identify which market the new product or service can fit into and who are the key competitors as well as potential customer within this particular market.
• As a result, all these information will help the business to decide which is the best way for the new product or service to enter the market.
• In addition, a unique selling proposition or competitive advantage must be developed in order to make the new product or service stand out from the crowd.
Copyright © 2012-15 Vibazone Private Limited All Rights Reserved
(4) Access your Skills to Develop your Product/Service
• The business must determine its commercialization path to dictate its future strategy. o Ways of doing business to bring the new product or service to the
market Joint venture, manufacturing, assignment or licensing.
• For example, if the business is thinking of using either local or overseas manufacturers to produce the new product, it is very important to look into the quality control and distribution strategy. If the manufacturer is from overseas, freight issue must be take into account.
Copyright © 2012-15 Vibazone Private Limited All Rights Reserved
(5) Design and Complete a Working Prototype
• In order to built confidence on the new product/service, a working prototype must be developed and demonstrate it to the potential customers or investors.
• However, the prototype must gone through internal testing to address any outstanding issues before reaching the potential customers or investors.
• In addition, technical support documents or instruction manuals must be as well finalized before presenting to the potential customers or investors.
Copyright © 2012-15 Vibazone Private Limited All Rights Reserved
(6) Write a Business Plan with a Commercialization Strategy
• A structured plan is needed to bring the new product/ service from concept to the real market.
• Thus, business plan should include areas such as: o Market Research
o Customer Analysis
o Competitive Analysis
o Marketing strategy which includes price, product, promotion and distribution strategy
o Financial strategy and etc.
Copyright © 2012-15 Vibazone Private Limited All Rights Reserved
(7) Explore the Possibility of Grants and Assistance
• There are a lot of programmes to encourage entrepreneurs to start up a business in most of the country.
• Thus, there are a lot of opportunities to seek for funding and assistance from various sources.
• Businesses or entrepreneurs can as well seek assistance from universities or companies where academia-industry collaboration is now very popular to encourage innovation.

Commercialization Strategy for Start-ups
1. Attacker’s advantage
2. Ideas Factories
3. Reputation-based idea trading
4. Greenfield Competition
Copyright © 2012-15 Vibazone Private Limited All Rights Reserved
(1) Attacker’s Advantage
• The competition in the market is very high between start-up firms and existing firms especially for technological leadership in the “niche” market.
• As the existing firms do not control complementary assets, the start-up firms will have the opportunity to obtain a leading position by entering into the blind spots market.
• In order to avoid such attack by existing firm, it must continuously present in the market, improve and innovate new products in order to stay competitive.
• E.g. Swiss Watch Industry that used to be a leader in mechanical watches did not anticipate new possibilities of innovation which enable the attackers such as Seiko, a Japanese firm to produce electronic watch (blind spot).
Copyright © 2012-15 Vibazone Private Limited All Rights Reserved
(2) Ideas Factories
• The cost for a start-up company to enter the market with its new product is costly.
• Thus, if they want to realize their new innovation concept, they will have to compete with other companies in order to win the competition by partnering an existing firm.
• Welcoming outsourced innovation ideas will allow successful technology innovation.
• E.g. Car industry has a very high market entry cost. Thus, start-ups will be using another options where they will sell their innovation ideas such as better improved batteries or engines to the car industry.
Copyright © 2012-15 Vibazone Private Limited All Rights Reserved
(3) Reputation-based Idea Trading
• As for this strategy, start-ups do not show much competition to the existing firms.
• Thus, the ideas and inventions might be stolen or imitated by existing firms.
• However, some imply the choice of the existing firm to trade ideas with the start-ups.
• E.g. Academia-industry collaboration where university appears to be a very reliable partner for start-ups industries, especially in emerging fields and high technology.
Copyright © 2012-15 Vibazone Private Limited All Rights Reserved
(4) Greenfield Competition
• Start-up companies have the choice to whether compete or cooperate with an existing firm.
• Start-ups companies are able to protect themselves for their own innovations from possible imitation.
• Thus, start-up companies do not need the complementary assets of the existing firm.
• Further, this strategy as well can be used by “large established companies”.
• E.g. Video games industry player, Nintendo chose a cooperative strategy as it benefits the business that always requires innovation.

Advantages of Commercialization
• Technology Transfer
When technology transfer occur during research and development, it will develop a great place- Knowledge Centre, where knowledge sharing will be occurred.
Technology transfer help in improving the technologies accordingly where it creates new market as well as develops the needs of the consumer.
In long term, technology transfer can help in sustaining economic growth in the future development as well as commercializing new technologies.
As a result, technology transfer helps in maximizing the unique resources, expertise, technology, facilities and etc.
Copyright © 2012-15 Vibazone Private Limited All Rights Reserved
Disadvantages of Commercialization
• Controlling the cost from concept to commercialization is very difficult and is a challenging task.
• This is due to there is a low access to market capital.
• Thus, the probability for the industry to fail is very high.
• Due to new product entering the market, the situation of inconsistent profits are very common and it is also one of the major disadvantage.

RESEARCHERS COMMERCIALIZATION JOURNEY
37
Copyright © 2012-15 Vibazone Private Limited All Rights Reserved
INTRODUCTION
• A researchers commercialization journey in essence carries the meaning of the methods and ways of how a researcher will take in process of commercializing their invention i.e. innovation.
• There are 2 possible scenario to consider which are:
– The product is still being developed and a commercialization strategy is developed hand in hand with the development of the product
– The product has finished being developed and the strategy in now being developed. The strategy is developed separately from the development of the product
• The scenario above is normally dictated by the environment in which the researcher operates.
Copyright © 2012-15 Vibazone Private Limited All Rights Reserved
KEY AREAS OF FOCUS
• Besides the commercialization model there are also other key areas of importance that has to be monitored in order to obtain the best outcome.
• Key focus areas in the pursuit of commercialization are
– PRODUCT
– FINANCE
– LEGAL
Copyright © 2012-15 Vibazone Private Limited All Rights Reserved
KEY AREAS OF FOCUS – PRODUCT
• TYPE OF PRODUCT – The type of product can influence the commercialization strategy. For example if a
product can be imitated easily or is a unique/novel idea it may be kept under wraps until its ready to be commercialised to avoid competitors from imitating the product.
• MARKET VIABILITY – The product has to meet the demands of the market either current or future demand or
it has to create a product attractive enough that it generates new unseen before demands. This will allow the product to be a commercial success and avoid commercial failure.
• WHY ITS IMPORTANT – the type of product will influence the commercialisation success factor based on factors such as technical requirements, complexity, production resources availability and other factors?
• EXAMPLE – the introduction of the iPhone was a breakthrough as there were no other
company who were producing the smartphone in the full touch display mode. This product was able to create unseen demand and took the industry by storm before the competitors could have the time to catch up
Copyright © 2012-15 Vibazone Private Limited All Rights Reserved
KEY AREAS OF FOCUS - FINANCE
• SELF/COMMERCIAL – The type of funding options will play a role in the commercialisation of the product. It
can either be commercialised for profit or not for profit. Mostly products are commercialised for profit with the self funding option allowing more freedom in the development of the product. Commercial funding is usually tied to a strict schedule of performance and non performance will result in the cancelation of the funding
• POTENTIAL INVESTORS – The potential investors are crucial in aligning their interest of developing the product
inline with the researchers vision of product development. When there is a mismatch it will hamper the development progress of the product and may result in the investors backing out leaving the commercialisation activities in limbo.
• WHY ITS IMPORTANT – the potential investors will contribute to the commercial success of the product by the measure of resource and support provided.
• EXAMPLE – self financing involves own resources as well as public grants. Commercial financing involves angel investors as well as corporate backers.
Copyright © 2012-15 Vibazone Private Limited All Rights Reserved
KEY AREAS OF FOCUS – LEGAL
• INTELLECTUAL RIGHTS – The product being commercialised has got to be protected by intellectual property
either by patent, copyright or trademark. This is to secure the product an ensure competitors are not able to imitate the product in its entirety an confuse potential future customers. In the case of intellectual property infringement legal action can be taken up against the infringing party.
• COMPLIANCE TO REGULATORY APPROVAL – The product that being commercialised also has to meet the regulatory standards. This
will ensure that the product is safe and will not pose any harm or threats to the customers and will not face any interference from the authorities.
• WHY ITS IMPORTANT – compliance to intellectual property laws and regulations will ensure commercialising activities will not be bogged down by false claims and claims of non-compliance .
• EXAMPLE – intellectual property can be filed at World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) and compliance standards can be regulated with International Organization for Standardization (ISO).
Copyright © 2012-15 Vibazone Private Limited All Rights Reserved
COMMERCIALIZATION PATH
• Most commercialization path is as follows :
• However the ends result of this path may not always lead to the successful commercialization.
• It is also likely that during the commercialization path it may become apparent that the product will not be successful and a decision to cancel will need to be taken to minimize the wastage of resources.

Transforming Idea into A Commercially Viable Model
Copyright © 2012-15 Vibazone Private Limited All Rights Reserved
Transforming Idea into A Commercially Viable Model
• Converting an idea into a commercial model is not an easy task.
• The person who gives birth to the idea has to take ownership as there will be no one else capable of understanding the concepts and depth of the idea as the person who conceptualized the idea.
• Its equivalent to giving birth to a child, one has to own the responsibility that come with it.
• For an idea to be commercially successful it has got to continue growing and evolving because in order to keep the idea alive over time it has to evolve an continuously adapt to its current circumstances.
• Failure to evolve will result in obsolesce of the idea.
Copyright © 2012-15 Vibazone Private Limited All Rights Reserved
KEY INGREDIENTS
• In order to transform the idea in to a commercially viable model it need a list of key ingredients:
– Prototype
– Technology
– Team
– Target Market
– Customer
– Automation
– Risk
– Financing
– Motivation
– Unique Selling Point
– Clearly Defined Goals
Copyright © 2012-15 Vibazone Private Limited All Rights Reserved
PROTOTYPE
• An idea can only remain an idea for so long. There has to be a version of the idea so that it can be shown to future customers and investors.
• A prototype not only serves as a platform to showcase your product but its also an avenue that enables you to get potential feedback before the product is marketed giving leeway for further adjustment to be made
• A prototype also is a platform that enables you to test out your product to make sure that it is able to work as conceptualised in the idea stage.
