Technological Imitation

Technological imitation in the context of imitator entrepreneurship refers to the practice of observing and replicating successful technologies or business models created by others. Imitator entrepreneurs study existing innovations, understand their effectiveness, and then create similar products or services, often with improvements or adaptations. This allows them to enter markets with less risk and lower development costs compared to original innovators. While they may not invent new technologies, they play a vital role in expanding accessibility and refining solutions, contributing to overall market growth and competition.
