Abstract: | In creating products with new technology , many companies pay inadequate attention to aspects of design - not only functional ability and aesthetics but such considerations as manufacturability, ease of assembly, maintanability, repairability, expandability, upgradability, and recyclability. In the absence of these considerations, products based on new technologies are often rejected by the market and are more vulnerable to competition. It is answered why technologies perish, its syndromes and the steps against it are described. |
