Technology infrastructure supports the design, deployment and use
of both individual technology-based components and the systems of
such components that form the knowledge-based economy. As such, it
plays a central role in the innovation process and in the promotion
of the diffusion of technologies. Thus, it is an important element
contributing to the operation of innovation systems and innovation
performance in any modern economy. Technology infrastructure,
either in the narrow or broad sense, is not well understood as an
element of a sector's technology platform or of a national
innovation system. Similarly misunderstood are the processes by
which such infrastructure is embodied in standards or diffused
through various institutional frameworks. In fact, because of the
public and quasi-public good nature of technology infrastructure,
firms as well as public-sector agencies under invest in it, thus
inhibiting long-term technological advancement and economic growth.
This volume of essays brings together a collection of papers from
eminent scholars on all of the various dimensions of technology
infrastructure mentioned above. To our knowledge, it is the first
such collection of papers and we expect this scholarship to become
the foundation for future research in this area. This book was
published as a special issue of Economics of Innovation and New
Technology.
