Externalization? Do you mean commercialization?
1 comments

Effectively yes. I tend to think of research to product in two phases, phase one is "externalization" which involves taking something done in the lab and reproducing it in a scalable process, step two is "commercialization" which is to capture market share. I use two phases because each phase captures very different risk profiles relative to the technology.
