产品技术是影响产品性能的核心要素,产品开发过程中通常借助新技术的开发来提高产品性能.所有的新技术都形成于已有技术的基础之上,可以看作是已有技术的继承或是已有技术的变异.利用生物隐喻,分析了产品开发中技术变异形式,并用实证分析探讨各种技术变异对产品性能改善的促进作用.研究证明在产品开发过程中,企业可以从不同路径出发开发新技术.
The essential factor that affects the performance of product is the technology. In the process of new product development, developing new technology is often used to improve product performance. All new technologies are the mutation of existing technologies and usually generated by existing technological system. Using biological metaphor, it analyzes the types of the technology mutations in new product development . Empirical analysis proves that technology mutations can speed the improvement of product performance. The reswlt shows that in the proess of new product devel- opment, enterprise can develop new technology through different paths.
