dc.description.abstract | Technology commercialisation is the process that converts technology that was developed for the government, e.g., defence technology, to commercial use, thereby benefiting the wider community. As technology commercialisation is a high risk and expensive process, care must be taken to commercialise only those technologies with the best chances for success. Heslop, McGregor & Grifith [1] developed the Cloverleaf Model to assess technology readiness for commercialisation. This model is evaluated and improved for use in the South African environment. | en_US |
dc.description.abstract | Die kommersialisering van tegnologie is die proses waardeur tegnologie wat ontwikkel is vir die Staat, byvoorbeeld verdedigingstegnologie, omgeskakel word vir kommersiële gebruik tot voordeel van die breër gemeenskap. Aangesien tegnologie-kommersialisering 'n hoë-risiko en duur proses is, moet net daardie tegnologieë gekommersialiseer word wat die beste kanse vir sukses het. Heslop, McGregor & Grifith [1] het die Cloverleaf Model vir die assessering van tegnologie-gereedheid vir kommersialisering ontwikkel. Hierdie model is ge-evalueer en verbeter vir gebruik in die Suid-Afrikaanse omgewing. | en_US |
