Defining the Opportunity 
Innovation, Entrepreneurship & Design Toolbox 
© Imperial College Business School
an observed market opportunity new technology/capability 
”demand-pull idea” VS ”knowledge-push idea” 
© Imperial College Business School 
A business idea: two sources
If demand-pull idea 
• A currently unsolved problem is spotted: 
It could be personal or friends’ experiences 
or observation in the news or in current trends 
...Often referred to as ‘customer pain’ or an unmet demand 
Example: students suffer from crooked back 
© Imperial College Business School
• Study of reasons behind the problem: 
Carrying heavy books 
© Imperial College Business School 4
• Conceivement and development of a solution (product/service) 
• The solution might incorporate technology, but the technology 
solution is created and tailored specifically for the problem. 
© Imperial College Business School 5
If technology-push idea 
• A new discovery or a new technical capability 
with many possible applications is made/developed 
 Also known as a ‘platform technology’ 
• A suitable commercial application is identified 
 Find the most compelling industry/market likely to need or adopt the new technology at 
an early date – find a problem to solve! 
© Imperial College Business School
If technology-push idea 
• Development of the raw technology further to deliver the 
envisioned applications 
 develop for “Market readiness” 
• Once the technology is sufficiently developed, 
the inventor/entrepreneur start-up can either: 
1. Manufacture its own products using the technology, and sell 
them to customers 
2. License the protected tech to other companies, which will 
develop and sell their own products using the technology 
3. Sell the start-up company, with its Intellectual Property and 
its highly specialised managers and staff (‘human capital’), to 
another (usually larger) company 
© Imperial College Business School 7
Demand-pull ideas usually go into the market for products 
 Make products/services and sell directly to customers 
Knowledge-push ideas may end up in either 
 The market for products or the market for technology 
© Imperial College Business School
If you have a demand-pull idea 
Go to ‘Idea generation and evaluation’ exercise in the 
IE&D Toolbox 
• benchmark your idea against other solutions 
• Improve your idea 
If you have a knowledge-push idea 
Go to the ‘Technology/Application Matrix’ in the IE&D Toolbox 
• Compare and evaluate commercial applications 
Afterwards you can further reality-test your assumptions and 
conclusions using Entrepreneurial Market Research and Value 
Chain/Value Network analysis.

Demand-pull case Knowledge push case 
Evaluate, improve Evaluate, choose 
Reconsider? Reconsider? 
© Imperial College Business School 
Two possible journeys... 
Your Idea/Project 
Did you start with a problem or a technology/capability? 
Idea Generation and evaluation Technology/Application matrix
