Technology adoption

SMB technology is now a mature technology adopted by pharmaceutical industry. The existence of an organized body of knowledge [39, 40] was helpful in optimizing SMB systems and making them acceptable by the industry. The future will require dynamic simulation for systems with small number of columns, e.g., configurations of the type 1-2-2-1 as encountered in some cases and also in view of process control to improve process performance.

In the Western technology adopted, charcoal was used by most plants, even though coke was widely available. The importance of coke was not perceived by either the British or the Indians. Had coke been used, production costs would have been much lower and Indian iron would have been more competitive. 

Often the main assumption in studies of technology adoption is technological determinism—that technologies such as automobiles, electricity, and telephones have steered history. We do not follow this view. We argue that successful technologies are those that are in synchrony with the major trends of history. This is our hypothesis about FCVs and mobile electricity that these technologies might succeed because they follow the main trends of history. 

Both the real-world experience with federal and state fleet AFV programs over the last decade and modeling analyses of proposed expanded private and local fleet mandates indicate that forcing vehicle technology adoption by a few doesn t work unless the technology has private appeal. This does not bode well for the strategy of mandated or heavily subsidized niche introduction.

Initially, the membrane industry served only niche markets. As with any new technology, adoption was hindered by concerns over reliability and cost. Cost improvements required dramatic increases in transport rates as well as increases in selectivity and how to achieve these changes was not obvious. 

Supply chain technology adoption has always been slowed by issues with scalability, data cleanliness, and the sheer volume of data. Today s technology makes this no longer an issue. 

Early adopter. The early adopter is on the leading, not the bleeding, edge of technology adoption. These companies wait for the first wave of adoption, learn the pitfalls and quickly follow. These companies will lag the projected supply chain tipping point by one year.
