Abstract:
Technology substitution process can be modeled for technology based limited market. New product usually get a competitive advantage by improving certain capabilities or performance in technical key factors. Then a gap is established. This gap can be expressed as a multiplying factor of technology. By knowing this factor and other key factors such as loyalty, return cycles and stock turnaround, market behavior can be modeled under a systemic approach, and decision making can be done. This modeling reduces uncertainty and allows a better understanding of complex processes such as technology substitution.
