This research reports the results of a systems analysis study in which a system dynamics simulation model of the commercialization of information technology by information technology producing industries was developed. This study focused on the system structures that give rise to complex dynamics involved with an industry's firms (a) recognizing the value of technical changes in information technology, (b) assimilating those changes, and (c) rapidly exploiting their potential to commercial ends. The system dynamics model was developed in two phases. In the first phase, a conceptual model was derived from an extensive review of the referent literatures. This review provided the theoretical bases for the system dynamics model. The second phase involved translating the conceptual model into a quantitative or parametric model. The quantitative model was parameterized and validated through an extensive case study analysis of the Micro-Winchester disk drive industry. The purpose of the model is to provide a platform or policy analysis tool for formulating and implementing national level institutional interventions designed to enhance the IT commercialization process. The validation process and a sample policy experimentation using the simulation model is presented. / Source: Dissertation Abstracts International, Volume: 57-03, Section: A, page: 0906. / Thesis (Ph.D.)--The Florida State University, 1996.
