1.1 Kapoor, R., & Klueter, T. (2021). Unbundling and
managing uncertainty surrounding emerging
technologies. Strategy Science, 6(1), 62-74.
The core message of the paper by Kapoor and Klueter (2021) on "Unbundling and Managing
Uncertainty Surrounding Emerging Technologies" revolves around the development of a structured
approach to evaluate and manage the uncertainty inherent in emerging technologies. This approach
is designed to help firms better navigate the complexities of innovation and commercialization in the
face of technological change. Key elements of the paper include:
1. Identification of Uncertainty Sources: The paper identifies five main sources of uncertainty
surrounding emerging technologies: the technology itself, potential market applications,
users adopting the technology, the ecosystem supporting the technology, and the business
model under which the technology is commercialized.
2. Interactions Among Uncertainties: It further explores how these uncertainties do not exist in
isolation but interact in pooled, sequential, or reciprocal ways. Understanding these
interactions is crucial for firms to effectively manage uncertainty.
3. Framework for Evaluating Uncertainty: Kapoor and Klueter propose a framework that allows
firms to systematically analyse the different sources of uncertainty and their interactions. This
structured approach is aimed at aiding firms in the cognitive processes of sensing and
responding to opportunities and threats, thereby enhancing their dynamic managerial
capabilities.
4. Management of Uncertainty: The paper discusses the implications of this framework for
managerial practices, such as scenario planning, discovery-driven planning, real options, and
experimentation. It highlights how a nuanced understanding of uncertainty can improve the
effectiveness of these practices in the context of emerging technologies.
5. Illustrative Examples: The applicability of the framework is illustrated through the examples
of gene therapy and autonomous vehicles (AVs), showcasing how it can be used to analyse
and manage the uncertainty surrounding these technologies.
The core message is that by unbundling and understanding the nuanced sources and interactions of
uncertainty surrounding emerging technologies, firms can better position themselves to innovate,
adapt, and compete in rapidly changing technological landscapes.
