This linear model assumes that innovation begins in the laboratory.

The market decides the ultimate fate of the technology.

The initial scientific research that feeds the innovation pipeline.

Developed by Robert G. Cooper, this is a conceptual and operational map for moving a new product project from idea to launch. The process divides the innovation effort into a series of (where work is done) and gates (where quality control and go/kill decisions are made). Stage 1: Scoping Stage 2: Build Business Case Stage 3: Development Stage 4: Testing & Validation Stage 5: Launch The Technology Acceptance Model (TAM)

Several platforms offer direct downloads of books related to technological innovation processes.

Strict safety, environmental, and privacy laws can significantly delay product launches.
