Barriers to the Successful
Commercialisation of MEMS: THE 2013 MEMS INDUSTRY COMMERCIALIZATION REPORT CARD
ROGER H. GRACE, PRESIDENT, ROGER GRACE ASSOCIATES
This article provides the results of the recently completed 2013 MEMS Industry
The purpose of the Report Card is to provide MEMS industry participants with an objective assessment of these critical success factors over time and to act as a tool to help them better understand, respond to and exploit the ever changing dynamics of the MEMS industry.
Commercialization Report Card Study (Report Card). The MEMS Commercialization Report Card for the year 2012 was published in the Volume 6, Number 3 edition of Commercial
Micro Manufacturing [1]. The article appearing here serves as an update.
The Report Card has been published annually since 1998 [2]. For the establishment of the specific topics of the Report Card, market research was conducted on the general topic of technology commercialisation and resulted in the selection of a number of critical success factors (a.k.a. topics) that were considered necessary for successful commercialisation specific to MEMS and to the MEMS industry. The Report Card began with nine topics in 1998 and by 2003 it had expanded to 14 based on continuous reassessment of the ever-changing dynamics of the MEMS industry.
The purpose of the Report Card is to provide MEMS industry participants with an objective assessment of these critical success factors over time and to act as a tool to help them better understand, respond to and exploit the ever changing dynamics of the MEMS industry. The MEMS Industry Commercialization Report Card has been developed not only to help assess the progress of the commercialisation of this technology but more importantly to serve as a vehicle to help guide industry participants overcome the barriers to the successful commercialisation of MEMS.
The Report Card is unique in the technology commercialisation strategy sector and also to the MEMS industry. It has been widely published and presented worldwide since its introduction in 1998 and is widely accepted as a valuable tool for MEMS industry participants to create winning business strategies for their organisations.
