It is based on a cross-case study focused on pharmaceutical, medical device, and e-health companies in Finland. Both company representatives and regional stakeholders were interviewed. The findings suggest that “digitalization” needs to be distinguished from “digitization” because both terms seem to be misused or used interchangeably. The findings also show that digitalization led to a concurrent implementation of commercialization processes. Furthermore, the findings revealed that digitalization positively influenced commercialization activities, especially information sourcing and management, various assessments, and official activities, big data creation, and activity routinization. It was also revealed that the creation of new sets of big data and fear of digital attacks are negative influences on digitalization. These findings make a theoretical contribution to the discourses on digitalization and commercialization, but they also provide insights for scientists, engineers, and life science companies.10acommercialization process10adigitalization10aFinland10alife sciences1 aGbadegeshin, Saheed, A.  uhttps://timreview.ca/article/121101603nas a2200205   4500008004100000022001400041245008200055210006900137260004200206300001000248490000600258520095800264653001201222653002201234653002701256653001701283653003101300100002801331856003801359       2018                        eng d  a1927-032100aLean Commercialization: A New Framework for Commercializing High Technologies0 aLean Commercialization A New Framework for Commercializing High   aOttawabTalent First Networkc09/2018  a50-630 v83 aCommercializing high technologies is expensive, tedious, and resource intensive. Meanwhile, there is a need for quick diffusion of innovations due to economic pressures for companies and research institutes. Therefore, this article proposes a new framework: lean commercialization. The framework represents a transformation of new technology and knowledge to products and services through the application of the lean/agile methodology. This methodology focuses on how resources can be minimized during the development, manufacturing, and marketing of new products and services, while still being accepted by customers. The lean commercialization framework was developed from a case study of high-technology companies and by interviewing commercialization experts. This article contributes to the theory and practice of commercialization of high technologies and provides a procedure for the practical application of the lean commercialization framework.10aFinland10ahigh technologies10alean commercialization10alean startup10atechnology-based companies1 aGbadegeshin, Saheed, A.  uhttps://timreview.ca/article/1186
