Abstract

When to apply a new technology in an organization is a critical decision for every software development organization. Earlier work defines a set of methods that the research community uses when a new technology is developed. This chapter presents a discussion of the set of methods that industrial organizations use before adopting a new technology. First there is a brief definition of the earlier research methods and then a definition of the set of industrial methods. A survey taken by experts from both the research and industrial communities provides insights into how these communities differ in their approach toward technology innovation and technology transfer.
