Which factors shape the commercialization of academic scientific discoveries via startup formation? Prior literature has identified several contributing but does not address fundamental problem that commercial potential a nascent discovery is generally unobserved, which potentially confounds inference. We construct sample approximately 20,000 “twin” articles, allows us to hold constant differen...

ABstRAct The technology acceptance model (TAM) is a popular model for the prediction of information systems acceptance behaviors, defining a causal linkage between beliefs, attitudes, intentions, and the usage of information technologies. Since its inception, numerous studies have utilized the TAM, providing empirical support for the model in both traditional and Internet-based computing settin...

A serving robot has been developed for use in a restaurant environment. Various conventional technologies were drawn from the fields of control, navigation, software interface design and artificial intelligence and adapted for commercialization in its development. This paper introduces the developmental process towards commercialization of such a product. As a result, we successfully developed ...

BACKGROUND Once the patent of a brand-name drug expires, generic drugs are commercialized, and substitution from brand-name to generics may occur. Generic drug equivalence is evaluated through comparative bioavailability studies. Few studies have assessed outcomes after generic drug commercialization at a population level. We evaluated the impact of 3 generic angiotensin II receptor blockers co...
