A technological development will often need a science or technological push that opens new vistas for development and growth. (Maclurcan 134). Next the market functions as a dynamic and adaptive structure as it makes incremental technological improvements to pull the market and stimulate optimization, effectiveness, and efficiency of the new technology. (Burgelman 47). The two markets push and pull to develop technological innovations over time. The cycle may happen slow or fast depending on the market …show more content…
This product has moved from research and development and started its maturity and decline, allowing other innovations to take its place several times. Watches whether big or small are not as sought after due to the convenience of new portable phone technology. Thus, new ideas for integrating phone technology and watches are being researched to revitalize the products usage. (Li 296). The Apple smart watch is a attempt to bring use innovative watch ideas. (Li 289). Smart watches are not completely new; yet, they have not shown a considerable adoption from consumers. Due to the strategic management of discontinuities Apple will need to put in significant effort at the start of the curve to learn the problems and research the utilities of the watches. The late adopters and laggards will overlook the watches to see if they stay relevant. Once learning is done significant progress is attained easily and the technology moves to its optimal limits as other competitors battle to appeal to the market. Whether or not the technology will be adapted into the market successfully is still uncertain, but with the S-curve, data can be used to show the traces of where development on the path struggled or improved as the new product is introduced and help decide how to
