The Technology Innovation Mapping (TIM) Tool assists commercialization efforts and students studying product development andtechnology commercialization by linking the features of a technology to specific social needs (a term in broad perspective that includestechnology commercialization used both for profit and not-for-profit applications), thus addressing the innovation gap betweenlaboratory research and business incubators. This paper further develops the methodology; it summarizes the TIM Tool method andexpands upon the TIM Tool to better capture the commercialization process for innovative technologies. The paper uses the applicationof a nano-scale drug delivery technology (advanced by a graduate student team) as a technology commercialization example.
