A Different S-Curve Model of Architectural Innovation
The new technology (2) is deployed in a new application (B) wherein
performance is defined differently than it had been in the established
market, Application A.
When this occurs, the new technology invades the original market, swiftly
substituting for the old.

企業經理人如何思考創新方向 ?
元件技術創新 :
一個新技術產品的開發，到了成熟階段科技就會面臨本質或實體的限制，
必須花費更長的時間，投注更多的工程努力，才能獲得提升。

結構技術創新 :
利用已被市場證明的元件技術創新 , 不依慣例的衍生相關聯技術的低階改
善 , 突破原先在位者的市場。
Architectural Technologies
Preliminary evidence suggests that this frame
work, in which the new architecture
(1) redefines the functionality of a product or proc
ess,
(2) is initially deployed in a new or remote market
segment, and
(3) invades established markets after reaching a l
evel of commercial scale and maturity in that
new market, may be a more accurate descript
ion of processes of architectural innovation in
a variety of industries.
