A Novel Model for Potential Assessment of Technology Commercialization Based on Extension Matter-Element Theory

Commercial potential evaluation is crucial for technology selection. In the existing researches on potential assessment of technology commercialization, the technical information is mostly used, while the commercial competence is overlooked. This paper proposes an evaluating index system of commercial potential evaluation concerning commercial competence. Aiming at the uncertainty and complexity of emerging technology, a potential evaluation model based on extension matter-element theory is raised to obtain the evaluation grade of all commercial potentials of emerging technologies. Results show that the proposed method can enhance theoretical understanding and decision-making for the selection of technology commercialization.
