SBIR Phase I: Coherence Based Commercialization Strategy Decision Aid

9661544斯派塞这个小型企业创新研究第一阶段项目将由Foresight Science and Technology，Inc.进行，它构建了一个软件引擎，为商业化战略的发展提供决策支持。商业化战略的制定可以看作是一个涉及到一系列相互制约的要素的问题。连贯性是最大化一系列积极和消极约束的哲学方法。作为一个连贯性问题，商业化战略的制定需要在涉及(1)被商业化的技术、(2)公司内部环境、(3)外部环境(特别是市场)、(4)商业化公司的目标(S)的模式中找到最适合或最一致的战略，并且最好地利用公司内外环境和技术的要素，以通过利用机会、中和或避免威胁来实现公司目标。为了建立这一工具，Foresight Science and Technology，Inc.将根据相关社会科学文献指定知识领域的要素。保罗·萨加德的研究证实，连贯性可以通过连接主义网络(神经网络)来计算，萨加德的代码将适用于这一项目。该项目为小型企业创新研究项目、联邦实验室、大学和大公司的商业化提供了决策援助，并提供了一个分析工具，允许投资者了解拥有技术开发的公司的商业化战略。

9661544 Speser This Small Business innovation Research Phase I project to be carried out by Foresight Science and Technology, Incorporated builds a software engine providing decision support for the development of commercialization strategies. Commercialization strategy formulation can be viewed as a problem that involves a set of elements that mutually constrain each other. Coherence is philosophical method for maximizing a set of positive and negative constraints. As a coherence problem, commercialization strategy formulation requires discovering those strategies which best fit or cohere within a pattern involving (1) the technology being commercialized, (2) the internal company environment, (3) the external environment (especially the market), and, (4) the commercializing firm's goal(s), and which best leverage elements in the internal and external environments of the company and the technology, in order to attain company goals by exploiting opportunities and neutralizing or avoiding threats. To build this tool, Foresight Science and Technology, Inc. will specify the elements in the knowledge domain based on relevant social scientific literature. Research by Paul Thagard established that coherence can be computed via connectionist networks (neural nets) and Thagard's codes will be adapted for this project. The project proffers a decision aid for commercialization in Small Business Innovation Research projects, federal labs, universities, and major corporations and an analytical tool to allow investors to access the commercialization strategies of companies with technology developments.
