1. High Tech Innovation Marketing as an Ongoing Multidisciplinary Communication (MDC) (1 of 2)
Although MDC is an everyday phenomenon, the field of MDC in high-tech innovation marketing shows a knowledge map with many blank spots.
The purpose of this paper is twofold:
3
ATo show
the requirements of MDC in business-to-business
(B2B) marketing of high-tech innovation;
BTo show
methodical approaches in research and academic education to cope with
MDC challenges.

2. Selected Semiotic Aspects of MDC in High Tech Innovation Marketing (1of3)
“Which strategic options exist to lower the risk of non-efficient communication to the MDC partners?”
5
Option A: “Learn how to go into detail in a non-familiar knowledge discipline”
Option B: “Tentative acceptance
of discipline-black boxes”
Option C: “Decomposition
and modular MDC”
Reduced Complexity Enables MDCIncreased Time to Market

2. Selected Semiotic Aspects of MDC in High Tech Innovation Marketing (2of3)
A modular MDC is communicatively efficient if each module:a) applies the principle of cognitive and communicative relevance;b) supports the communication via interface standards between the modules.
6
The buying decision for a high-tech innovation is a multi-objective, hence multi-criteria decision task to find a non-empty compromise set over partially
overlapping preferences of the participating MD team members (deciders, buyers, users, influencers, gatekeepers) of a buying center.

The management communication process in this context shows a quite complex multidisciplinary structure. The conflicts in goal attainment caused
by resource shortage must be solved by a multidisciplinary dialogue, focusing on multidisciplinary resource usage.
