The paper revisits the success case of Boston Route 128 in commercializing technology. The study applies the concept of industrial clusters to explain the development of technologically sophisticated region of Boston Route 128. Boston Route 128 has transformed its structure from the minicomputer and microprocessor-based technology industry in the 1980s to biotechnology industry in the late 1990s and 2000s. It is argued that the successful commercialization process of Boston Route 128 is rooted in innovation, entrepreneurial management and the policy towards technology commercialization. To consider the argument, the paper proposes the cluster model to explain the strengths of Boston Route 128 in biotech clusters. It represents a model of the universities working with industries to form a cluster of high technology based firms. The venture capital accelerates the process of technology commercialization, giving rise to a new Boston model of innovation management. Policy makers may use the Boston model as a benchmark to evaluate their performance in supporting Hi-Tech industries.

This study applies the concept of industrial clusters to explain the development of technologically sophisticated region of Boston Route 128. It is argued that the success of Boston, Massachusetts, is rooted in innovation, entrepreneurial management and the policy towards technology commercialisation. To consider the argument, the paper proposes the cluster model to capture the specific features of Boston Route 128. It represents a model of the universities working with industries to form a cluster of high-technology-based firms. The venture capital accelerates the process of technology commercialisation, giving rise to a new Boston model of innovation management. Policy makers may use the Boston model as a benchmark to evaluate their performance in supporting high-tech industries.

Product innovation is an important element in consumer buying decision for high technology product including mobile phone. Therefore, it is quite important to know the role of product innovation in consumer buying decision. The purpose of this research is to identify the effect of product innovation, forthcoming innovation, and preference to delay present purchase on consumer buying decision. This research found that preference to delay purchase influence consumer buying decision positively. However, product innovation does not influence consumer buying decision significantly. Moreover, product innovation influences the forthcoming innovation positively as well as affects consumer preference to delay purchase. On the other hand, the forthcoming innovation influences consumer buying decision negatively.
