Most innovation advice breaks down when technology leads the market.
For decades, we've been taught that innovation starts with customer validation, empathy maps, and rapid feedback loops. That approach works when problems are well understood and solutions are incremental. But it quietly fails when feedback loops are slow, expensive, or nonexistent, when the technology itself must exist before customers can even imagine what is possible.
Build First, Market Later is a contrarian but practical book for engineers, technical founders, and system builders working at the edge of what is possible. It explains why breakthrough innovation rarely starts with market demand, why customers often cannot articulate needs for capabilities that do not yet exist, and why the most important innovations emerge from building first, then engaging the market when it is ready.
This book is not a rejection of Lean Startup or design thinking. It is an explanation of their limits, and a guide to when different innovation methods actually apply.
Drawing on examples ranging from lasers and semiconductors to software platforms, AI systems, medical technology, and open-source infrastructure, Farhad Abtahi shows how innovation fails not because of bad ideas, but because of misordered steps. Validation without physics. Stories without systems. Markets consulted before capabilities exist.
Build First, Market Later does not offer a recipe. It offers something more useful: a way to reason about innovation when the usual playbooks stop working.
If you are optimizing features, this book is not for you.
If you are building something that has never existed before, it is.

The Engineers Argument for Breakthrough Innovation

This book offers a new governance framework for understanding how countries with limited institutional capacity can pursue economic catch-up in the digital age. This book introduces the concept of the Developmental Network State (DNS) to explain how learning, coordination, and embeddedness enable capability development under conditions of constraint. Focusing on transitional economies in Southeast Europe, it examines how fragmented institutions, donor dependence, and political volatility shape technological upgrading and industrial transformation.
Drawing on extensive fieldwork, stakeholder interviews, and comparative analysis, the book explores digital entrepreneurship, agri-food upgrading, and integration into automotive supply chains in low-capacity environments. It highlights themes such as governance as a meta-capability, industrial policy under digital disruption, and the role of diasporas and donors in shaping development trajectories. This interdisciplinary study will appeal to researchers, graduate students, policy advisors, and development practitioners interested in industrial policy, innovation systems, and governance reform in latecomer economies.

Strategy and Applied Practice

Principles of Entrepreneurial Marketing

Education often teaches us how to become good employees and specialized professionals, yet it rarely prepares us for the fast-changing, challenging world of entrepreneurship.

It is both a guide and a workbook-designed to help you plan your entrepreneurial journey, understand the major drivers of success, and anticipate the hurdles you will face along the way.

Shine, Revised Edition

Introduction.- A modern steel industry.- The origins of the Australian steel industry.- Boom years: the 1960s.- Stagnation: the 1970s.

This book explores the history and evolution of Australia’s steel industry. In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, the creation of a large, technologically advanced steel sector was widely seen as essential for economic development, providing vital inputs for railways, shipping, engineering, and construction. While new materials such as plastics, aluminium, and concrete have since taken centre stage, steel once stood at the heart of industrial progress.In the Australian context, the steel industry became closely linked with Broken Hill Proprietary Limited (BHP), for decades the country’s largest private corporation and long identified as the “Big Australian.” BHP’s exit from steelmaking in 2002 marked not just a corporate turning point but also reflected the broader transformation of the Australian economy, where mining increasingly overshadowed manufacturing.Yet, the story of steel in Australia is not merely one of decline. This book examines how the industry endured through profound shifts in the national and global economy, overcoming challenges and adapting to survive, even prosper, through the late 20th and early 21st centuries. In doing so, it reveals how businesses, particularly in the manufacturing sector, can demonstrate resilience and strategic adaptation in an era of globalisation.By tracing the steel industry’s rise, struggles, and persistence, this book offers fresh insights into the dynamics of industrial change and the lessons it holds for Australia’s economic future.

New Frontiers in Regional Science: Asian Perspectives

This book focuses on a very important and still controversial topic in Japan, namely, whether a future exists for Japanese farmers, especially rice-producing farmers. Dealt with here is the prospect along with a personal view of the course that Japanese agriculture should follow, that is, a prescription for enriching the international competitiveness of the agricultural sector, especially rice production, in a more market-oriented economy. Toward restoration of Japanese agriculture, prescriptions are pursued from different aspects. One is the planting schedule of various farm products at the micro level such as the crop rotation system, derived from the mixed-integer dynamic programming model. Another is a macroeconomic policy to enhance the export of the restored 2 million tons of rice by the abolition of the policy of reducing rice acreage-a policy considered unreasonable by some. The path that agriculture in Japan should take has been argued by scholars and experts in related fields. However, no argument has been based on scientific and objective proof. Some applications of mixed-integer dynamic programming model are shown, which are very useful for policy makers as well as graduate students in the field of economic policy (esp. regional &amp; dynamics) and dynamic agricultural planning (esp. planting &amp; comprehensive management).
