Abstract

Adoption of innovation, the transfer of new technology from developers to adopters, has a unique history that alternates between Government and Industry sponsors. In reviewing this history of programs and approaches for technology migration, we leverage well-known technology refresh rates for mediums that span from information technology (IT) to large capital equipment (e.g., shipbuilding) projects. Using these known technology refresh periods as examples, we approximate an organization's technology adoption/procurement time via a set of novel structural constraints first proposed in this paper.
